Okay Altuve, you got on base again, don’t get yourself out again!

What do we need to do to find some guys that can drive runners in?

I just don't think Abreu goes anywhere before the all-star break. Not sure if you’re aware, but the post you responded to on Facebook about Bregman and Abreu was made by Corch (Joe Barron) 😂 |

France has pitched well and kept us in this game. Where’s the offense to back up his performance?

I see relief pitching is still giving up runs. Need to have someone be shutdown when they come in.

They went all in on the back end of the bullpen, and none has been dominant.

The offense seems set on either scoring 6+ runs or diddly squat.

Ashitaka were you surprised that Dirden got cut? Yes, but I saw his wife on Twitter saying that he himself requested it, so I assume they would have continued letting him try to rebound in AAA. No idea why he thinks things will be better in a different organization, no one else would have called him up after last year's performance either. |

Yup, the back end of this bullpen is not living up to the hype.

We're not even that competitive. At this rate, we may need to have a fire sale at the deadline.

There's just no logical reason for us to be this bad.

Well, The Rangers took The Pennant from The Astros now they will be taking The Silver Boot. How things took a turn quickly.

After this debacle:
Josh Hader 6.75 ERA
Bryan Abreu 10.13 ERA
Ryan Pressly 20.25 ERA
Combined ERA of the Mighty Three-Headed Monster: 11.57

Pressly, Hader, and Abreu have allowed the same number of earned runs (nine) in 9.1 innings as Framber, Javier, Blanco, and France have allowed in 43.2 innings.

This is really frustrating. We are making every pitcher look likea Cy young candidate.

What's surprising is that historically when Altuve is hot the team is hot...and, outside of a couple pickoffs, he has been fantastic so far. Maybe the best we've seen him start a season to this point.

They just don't look motivated. No passion at all. Get down a run and just roll over. Is this the effect of just promoting their buddy buddy guy Espada?

In most times that never works anyway. Promoting Bench Coach from the Previous Manager. I always thought they should have gone outside to get a completely New Look and maybe shake up people who weren't preforming the best they could be.

I don't think it's Espada at this point. We've been perennial slow starters for several years now. (Although not quite this slow.)
I really think it's just a flukey mix of a little bit of bad luck, the relievers trying to establish themselves, and inconsistent offense.
Over the course of the season all of this will balance out, I expect. But hopefully we don't dig ourselves in too deeply before that.

I agree on Abreu, Pressely and Hader, they will become the dominant 7-8-9 in the near future. |
