    God forbid some fans express some frustration in a game day thread during a frustrating game.

    Better to be the poster who doesn’t say anything then comes in to pick at posts at the end.

    Their bullpen is a dumpster fire.

    Hinch should start the game tomorrow with Kemp, Bregman, Marwin, and White. Make the starter for the Angels throw 30 pitches in the 1st inning and the game is over.

    Me too. Back to the days of my grandpa (rip) taking me to the Astrodome to watch my Stros as a 6 year old.

    I got to watch the World Series victory with my son last year. Was fantastic.

    My football team took 30 years to win one for me, and that was won on my son’s birthday. That was epic too. Thankful.

    Their farm system isn't good either is it? The future is bleak for the Angels

    not really. especially when there's this infatuation with just posting to kneejerk complain with plenty of ballgame left. when the astros were red hot, it was mighty quiet.

    What a game!
    Tomorrwo, I'd like to see Gattis DH again and see if his bat can heat up again. White should get a little more 1B time, Yuli more ezperience in other positions (to get him ready for next year). Would not mind seeing Straw get a start, I know his primary purpose is to be a pinch running specialist, but we'd still have Jake on the bench, and him getting some AB's would be nice.

    He had a good game. We've seen what Gattis can do when he gets hot. I have no problems with Hinch getting Gattis some at bats before the playoffs.

    Trout should leave and move to Houston.

    He certainly showed me up tonight. Problem is, games like this are few and far between for Gattis. He's just consistently bad for the most part.

    Just dropped in to say I never doubted this win for a moment.

    At what point does lance mccullers get some relief work over the next 8 games? Rondon slipping as set up man obviously. Let’s see if lance can be that guy over the next 8...alongside of pressly.

    It's not as bad as it was. I read an article after the trade deadline that had them in the top half of teams.

    You haven’t seen the 3-5 paragraph posts of some posters after losses?

    It’s far more than just in game rants.

    Yes, and this makes people whiny fans. Getting all pissed off and thinking your team sucks and can't win anything every time they give up a few runs is kind of the definition of being a whiny fan.

    He hasn't been good for some time. But he had about a six week stretch where he was as hot as just about anyone in baseball. He has 25 homers and 75 rbi's in only 390 at bats. It hasn't always been pretty, but he's produced for the season. I'd love to see him get hot again going into the postseason.
