Blowing Abreu and Hader in a game we lose surely won’t come back to bite us later in this series 

Houston Astros have a record of 20-9 in one-run games during the 2025 MLB regular season

This team just fucking sucks right now. No really other way to put it. Not saying  we won't regroup and still have a successful year, but right now they're a beating.

This is an appropriate response.

The last time one had 18 guys on the injured list and didn’t know if/when any would be back, how healthy they would be when they came, how they would perform when they came back, had a farm system with little talent and had just gotten demolished in 4 games by a last place team. That time. 
 

And I thought Brown was an ace too. I don’t think trading Framber is a white flag. The Tigers traded Flaherty last year during pennant race and I believe they beat us in the playoffs. They got back their starting shortstop and a catcher in Baseball 100. All I’m saying is if the Dodgers or whoever offer you one of their top two outfield prospects and a pitcher for Framber then it’s at least worth considering. The unprecedented nature of this Astros season should leave anything possible, as crazy as it sounds. 

Agreed. I’d rather go this route than overpay for some rental that is not going to make a difference anyway. The proper move at this point is to probably do nothing at the deadline.

Then lose Valdez in the off-season for a single draft pick. They need to be serious about where this team is and trade him.

Valdez is pitching magnificently, but to what end? I'd feel better about keeping him if he'd always lit it up in October and I believed we'd somehow regain enough offense to still be playing then. He and Brown at least give us a puncher's chance in any series. 

Staying on the topic of hypotheticals, if we get multiple bats back within the next month but then don't make the playoffs, would you dump Espada? I'd be tempted, even if there's a sound argument that months of collective injuries were just too much for any manager to overcome. His lineups and bullpen decisions continue to puzzle, and right now they need to be perfect every night.

here's the deal as i see it ...

there is no dominate team this year

we beat some damn good teams with key players out

you get that first round bye. the next round we have two #1's (3 to 4 starts, back end of the bp is damn good). we get some bats back and two more starters. we'll be in damn good shape.

get bats and pitching back by mid aug, then make a fucking run. well be in the mix for an october run.

Maybe throw a better pitch next time instead of talking shit on the defensive alignment to the press.

Framber Valdez was frustrated with the defensive positioning on this play, saying: "It doesn't make sense that that was a double. It doesn't make sense that the right-fielder was playing center field with a lefty that was hitting. ... That should have been a single. That shouldn't have been a double, and the runner should have been at third and not at home."
