Todd says we’re due. Hopefully it wasn’t a mispronunciation, we’re doo doo

[unionstation82]

Eh, if they want to, they’ll win. They can’t expect the fans to care if they don’t themselves.

How about dim Texans?

Ah surely you don't think they don't care.  It's pretty obvious that they're frustrated.

Bregman moved to 2nd and Yordan moved to 3rd. Hopefully this lets Bregman get some good pitches to hit.

All it took was one of the worst starts in franchise history for them to do what they should have done on day one.

[Ashitaka]

Another first inning deficit LOL.

[kyledriver1980]

Story of the year. Starters giving up early runs and throwing lots of pitches.

[Ashitaka]

ROTFL

[Ashitaka]

[This is dumb]

Got to hand it to The Cubs. Very humane with their rapid disposal of The Astros on these games. No pain and suffering. Good news is The A’s keep losing too so as I called since the season started. It’s looking like the biggest series of the season so far.

[Saint]

Horrible AB, Jose.

[Saint]

Yordan screwed.

[Ashitaka]

Astros: *trying to mount something*

Altuve and Yordan: 0-for-4, ground out, pop up, two strikeouts

[Saint]

There's the story of the offense. Even with our best hitters up and gift runners on, we only manage one lucky infield single.

Altuve and Yordan need to wake up.

[kyledriver1980]

I am so tired of these terrible umpires and their ball and strike zones.

[Saint]

Too aggressive...

[kyledriver1980]

Can we stop being boneheaded and just play sound, fundamental baseball? Geez.

[Saint]

Singleton with more value today than Abreu all season.

[Saint]

This is about to get worse.

They care but the effort to overcome adversity isn’t there. There’s no reason why this offense should be this god-awful.

[kyledriver1980]

Everyone is worthless. This will go down as the worst season by a team ever when it comes to hitting with RISP.

The 💩 has 🥊 the 🪭

[unionstation82]

Yainer should almost be benched for that last AB.

[koolade2]

The story in a nut shell is Bregman with 6 RBI's on the Year. Are you kidding me.

[unionstation82]

At least Singleton has some line drive cuts.

[unionstation82]

Nice liner from Caratini.

[unionstation82]

Now, we know why José isn’t batting 3rd.
