    We barely made the postseason

    It's going to be ok

    What does barely making the postseason have to do with it. We had a 3-2 lead in the ALCS.

    Im convinced with this 2-3-2 formation whoever wins game 6 is at advantage. It’s is a huge booster to the winning team and puts lots of pressure in game 7 on the home team

    We were also down 0-2 to start the series.

    This team was going no where with this SP rotation and inability to score with RISP at home

    This is real simple, Framber sucked for 2 games, Javier sucked for one. That meant the Stros had to be perfect for the rest of the series. They got shutout game 1 of JV's start and were never truly able overcome this due to the Framber/Javier suckage.

    the pain somehow losing to Arizona

    Strom knows all our pitchers

    So when the same pitching rotation comes back next year we just won't be good enough then either? because its damn near the same team coming back next year. I guess we should just give up then.

    I think Framber is done to be honest. Should be interesting to see who gets traded out of Framber, Garcia, Tucker, Pena

    Do your thing Dana Brown

    I remember the feeling when we all thought we had it in the bag against the Nationals.

    I think the D-Backs would've had a 90% steal rate with Maldy behind the plate

    Me too sir. They also had an underrated squad but we were STACKED.

    2019 hurt more than this year to be honest. Winning 2022 is probably the reason for that.

    That dude is probably a cool person but I cringe every time I think of Diaz being benched.

    We need a bat. Give me a better one we can afford.

    Pena fell on his face offensively. Gice me a better offensive option.

    I'm ok with saving money if Dubon is going to hit like this past season.

    If Yordan is in LF and Abreu is at 1B but both need DH time, the obvious solution is someone who can play LF and 1B but also hit well enough to be one of the better bats in the league in the 8 or 9 hole.

    Maybe…maybe? Maybe Crane already let Dana Brown know during the interview process that Jeff Luhnow would be coming back as Pres of Baseball ops after this season, and Brown was cool with it knowing he’d get the GM title and have most input on the draft and player dev. Maybe Crane already had back channel info that Hinch was not happy in Detroit and wanted to come back to Houston. Maybe?

    Losing Strom sucked and I've always felt he left because Johnnie.
