    Astros have been moving backwards recently -- 5-7 record last 12 games.

    Last night:... We can't expect the entire Big 3 to be perfect every game, but we can't have 2 of them sh1tting the bed same game. Pressly and Hader both shat the bed.

    Skenes is awesome, but the Pirates' offense sucks. We had the lead. Stupid loss. Stupid baserunning. Yordan needs to do better. Where the f**k is Tucker?

    Fortunately, SEA and ARL suck or are subpar -- but we still need to handle our own business better.

    Win the series. April was so crappy, we can't afford 3-game losing streaks (something we've done since the ASB) without an 8-2 stretch. Get the stretch

    I am still upset about last night's game. The Astros are poorly managed. I got spoiled with Luhnow. Whoever is calling the shots is stuck in "bad decisions" mode.

    As much as I loved the Hader signing, that's a ton of money to have an elite closer blow leads like this. That money (plus Montero`s 11 million per) could have better spend elsewhere. I also have zero confidence in Dana O`Brian.....................where is the friggin update on King Tuck

    Overall, the Astros haven't played well the last 2 weeks or so. Starting to piss me off.

    I’m sure if they knew how I felt, they would play better.

    If Chas knew how much you believed in him maybe he would start hitting like last year again

    Diaz has been able to offset some of it but this team can't take a slumping Yordan for much longer. You can see the frustration in his body language lately.

    They're 5-5 since the ASB. But they were able to win 4 out of 6 against the Mariners and Dodgers.

    the team needs him to come through and get hot since tucker is out. so far, he's been coming up short for the past 2 weeks.

    can't blame him for his last AB last night. they pitched around him.

    Is Aledmys still on the team? Has he entered a game since his start?

    Must be a loop hole if a player on the 26 man roster is traded.

    I'd never heard of that, but it must be it.

    I just kind of assumed another pitcher was hurt.

    I think he appeared as a pinch hitter in one other game and that's it. He's just here for the locker room vibes. Stros needed a Boban
