Jose has had very poor 30 game stretches before, particularly early in the season. It’s concerning, but I don’t think there’s any way Houston doesn’t let him try to play through it for the whole year with maybe a couple days off to clear his head if it gets really bad.

Do you think a .792 OPS from Andrew Vaughn is below, at, or above what you expected from him at this point in his MLB career?

If we’ve learned one thing over the last 7 years, it’s that making negative threads about Abreu definitely paints a TOTALLY ACCURATE picture of how he will perform from that point forward!

Weird, because I saw that exact video like a week ago in a completely different context. What the hell?

What’s the best case scenario if they start playing to their talent level of 2020-21 when they were on a 96ish (.592) win clip? 7-21 start + a .592 clip the rest of the way is an 87 win season. Do we think that wins the Central? Is that really going to get us anywhere?

I hope Hawk and Ozzie air out how bad this is on every outlet that will have them. We need them to slam this org and air dirty laundry. We need Reinsdorf, Hahn, Williams, Grifol all to hear every day how awful they are. We need to run them all out of town on a rail.

Don’t stop now boys!!! 11 is within sight

Winning this game will be a punch in the gut. Utterly counterproductive at this point.

Nobody “deserves” it on this lackluster team, but the manager and FO still claim they are trying to turn this around, and I have never seen anything from Adam Haseley that convinces me he’s ready to jump from AAAA filler to friggin lead off man. I would rather give more PAs to anyone I thought might hit a home run once in those PAs.

Do we think that Vaughn’s career OBP is as relevant as his 2023 numbers? Do we think Haseley’s career OBP is as relevant as what role he is in on this team at this stage of his career? Sure, folks can be results oriented with what just happened, but I still think Haseley leading off in an MLB game in 2023 is ludicrous compared to literally any other option.

I would rather have a major league caliber player assuredly getting 5 PAs over the most AAA asset on the team, so whether or not it’s “a traditional lead off hitter” isn’t important at all. I would rather have Vaughn leading off. I was under the impression that traditional assumptions about lineup construction have more recently been proven to be bogus anyway…

Haseley leading off and Sheets batting third makes Leury batting third last year look like sheer fucking genius. What a joke. 11 losses in a row, here we come!

With all do respect, I don’t. At this point, the best outcome there is for the team is for Hahn’s entire operation to go completely down in flames in historic fashion. Reinsdorf will only respond to losing real value, and this is the only way to exact that. It’s clear Hahn and co. cant win. If Reinsdorf won’t sell the best outcome is for whatever next yes man to get lucky. Hahn is neither lucky or good.

I want them to play and I want them to lose don’t stop now boys!

2020 to 8/12/21: 103-73 8/13/21 to present: 113-123 The best it would ever get was the field of dreams game. A game that didn’t even really matter much. That was our World Series with this bunch. That was enough for them. That one regular season game. What a shame it was so fleeting.

Losing is a disease as contagious as syphillus

Gonna enjoy wearing a grocery bag with eyeholes at the ballpark this year at every game. I’m a little relieved honestly it’s finally fully time for that old chestnut

Just like we drew it up! Don’t stop now boys!

This has comeback loss written all over it!

Hahahhahahahaha is sheets gonna get benched for absolutely misplaying that ball? is Lynn going to for flipping it lackadaisically?

The fourteen and fifteen are the same? edit: oh I see, the only times they have lost fourteen or fifteen games is during the same streak.

I love it. I would eat a Jake!

I mean, he’s more worthy than the Yerminator, right? Or…would a Burger Burger be the death knell for his hot April?

I sincerely hope this team keeps losing. Winning any game would make me angry at this point.

Another loss! Keep it up boys!!! Historic!!!
