Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread

Watching Yanier play more makes me infuriated at dusty. I'll always be convinced he cost the Astros a w.s. title by playing maldy. Also blame falls at the feet of crane, Reggie and Bagwell for allowing dusty to screw it up

Just checked in and saw the score.  This unfortunately isn’t fair but sports is a performance business and running out this rotation is fireable, particularly when you could have signed Snell or Montgomery and all it cost was money.

If you don't have starting pitchers, it's hard to win. If you don't play good defense, it's hard to win. If you don't hit with RISP....

Right

but why can’t we do all 3 at once? Why do we have to do each one separately

If it wasn't Wrigley I would fucking cancel my trip to go see these dudes in about a week. Colossal waste of money at the moment


Instead i like self torture and will be there all 3 games

Better than the money I’m dropping to go to Mexico City.

His inability to throw out runners is going to be a problem though. 
almost as bad as watching my son’s 10U league

I don't think those decisions were made by someone who can be fired.

I haven't been on thread this year till today. 

Is there any chance the Astros make the move and train Yanier to play first base?

He’s way too good of a hitter to let his body break down in catching. 

Like they did with Biggio.

And i like to think we have just an opening in that spot next year.
