****. I've seen this movie before.

It is called Astros 2025. Pretty closely follows Astros 2024 storyline as well.


Surely we made roster improvements besides hoping guys get healthy right?


Nope. Between rebuild and go all in ($), we went patchwork middle ground.

Good to know you boys showed up in mid-season form.


This thread matches play on the field most of the time

Espada better be looking over his shoulder. He's got a world championship manager in his dugout that deserves the lead position.

My wife and I were discussing this earlier.

We did last inning but runners stayed exactly where they began.

We took a mediocre offense in 2025 and the only offseason move we made was to trade opportunity for hope. Dana is the one that needs to be looking over his shoulder.

I guess Espada wants to take those challenges home with him

Both he and Espada have contracts that end this year. Doubt we retain either

It's amazing how a jam shot blooper can alter perspectives. Had Correa gotten one with the bases juiced instead of lining out to left, we'd have a couple of runs. Instead, LA got one and we are ready to fire the manager. Interesting how much luck impacts how we view a game.

Also, there are ballparks where Correa's hit might have fallen, but left fielders shade toward the gap at Daikin.

luck is even more important when you don't get any barrels on the ball

It was a good pitchers duel. We've actually barreled more balls than LA. We just needed to mix in more bleeders.

All last season, we kept hearing about how "unlucky" our hitters like Walker were against what some random system predicted for an outcome. At some point, the hits not dropping and the line drives not finding the gaps becomes reality and not just unlucky.

Welp… let's win the series 3-1 or at least split

Can't let this crap team come into your home park opening weekend and win a series.

We waited all off-season for this, you knew it was coming. Baseball fans are gluttons for punishment, same as it always was

Opening Day: where half the teams are World Series contenders and the other half need to fire the manager.

Nice work on Trout, but not so much there. That guy was just all over that fastball.

Margin for error is going to be so tight this season with this offense.

Bullpen needs to be nails and starters need to get into the 6th consistently or it'll be a long one

We've still got a chance babe.

Roa not off to a great start as an Astro. Hope he can turn it around

Two straight walks on 9 pitches. Roa can't find the zone since that HR.
