Yall probably need to pump the brakes on the end of a dynasty.

But for some mounting injuries (I know, that's the way baseball go), Astros would have been right in the mix this year. Just look at June.

Anyway, lets see if they can put it back together.

(No one stays on top(ish) forever. No one).

Today's winner for the General Board Burrito Lottery is:

Bats getting older. Rotation thinned out and will be further thinned out when Framber leaves. Bullpen hot/cold/hot/cold. Weird line-up decisions from Espada. Medical/training staff possibly the worst in MLB.

Mariners are up. Rangers are frauds. Totally winnable division at least for the next two years, but that Golden Years run is now in the rearview. Sucks to say and it bums me out, but we got two parades out of it. What a time.

The optimistic view is that the AL is pretty average at the top. The Mariners are a good team but they aren't a 105 or even 95 win juggernaut.

Even with all the injuries for the Astros they went 87-75 and lost tiebreaker for wildcard slot. And that record would've made playoffs in NL.

I think the Athletic had a piece that said without the injuries we'd have been 12 games better, so 99-63. That's good for best record in baseball.

More realistically if we'd have just had half the injuries we'd be 93-69, good for a division championship and first round bye (which was goal at beginning of year).

Crane is in his 70s. Maybe this will anger him enough to go out and sign Tucker.

Yes aging is happening and you can't expect prime Correa, Altuve, and Walker anymore. But guys like Yordan, Pena, Paredes, Meyers, and Yainer should be in their prime years so the key will be health. Then hopefully Cam Smith can improve and maybe you get a guy like Zach Cole who can step up.

You'll have that entire group in 2026 and 2027 and that lineup looks really good with the addition of Tucker. Unlikely but crazier things have happened.

Tucker isnt coming back, hth.

The injury that killed the season was Hader.

I bet we make some trades this offseason and it will not shock me if Pena is a part of it.

This is one of many reasons Tucker won't be back

Guess he kept up his lollygagging for the Cubs. Good to see he's consistent.

He hasn't been good at all since the beginning of the season. Cubs regretting it big time.

maybe visually, but his stats seem pretty much on par for what he did for us between 2020-2024

When that boy goes cold, he goes freezing. And he usually picks a bad time to do it.

Yeah but that's the thing about averages...they don;t always tell the whole story. The average is okay in a vacuum but if you;re smoking hot the first 1/3 of the season and dead cold the second 2/3 PLUS post season, that's no bueno. He killed us with his post season cold streak last year.

I just want an streaming only service for just the Astros in 2026. I don't want to spend $1000+ for another season on Fubo to only watch the Astros. I cant believe we are the only major league team without one.

The trainer was definitely on the chopping block with how many injuries there were.

The irony of firing people and wishing them well while using smiling photos of said fired people is just too good.

Did the Astros let Trump's social media troll take the reins on that post?

I hope all these mariner fans get mouth herps from booing Springer after he took a fastball in the knee cap and then cheered him coming out of the game.

It's Seattle. They probably already have it.

The only thing that would have made it perfect is if Scott Servais was still their manager. He has the most punchable face.
