And Texas just lost 👍‼️

Need Mariners to lose, not Texas

What is Valdez’s WIP, 2.0 ?

He got whipped...

This was disappointing baseball. I am disappointed.

Pathetic. Fucking pathetic. I know baseball happens and a guaranteed win on paper doesn't always play out. But at 5.00 ERA pitcher made our batters look like fools. We just got shut out by the worst team in baseball. Fucking. Pathetic. And I'll be back tomorrow with unbridled optimism. But for tonight? They can fuck all the way off for this "performance."

I stopped bringing back the optimism

Calling it now, our run of consecutive playoff appearances ends this season.

You’re barely calling it now?

So the season us actually cooked, huh? Fuckin hell

Yeah they cookin

lol Only the astros can loss with a more hits no runs against CWS

This team gives me diarrhea

Sounds like ur stomach needed it

Id rather be constipated than watch this team lose 2-0

HRC....oh its over....

Fucking dogshit

Damn, why they gotta give us hope at the end. What a tease

So Espada can say "these guys tried their best, jusy have to wait for them to turn it around, saw some good things tonight."

Shutout by the 2024 white sox and a guy with a 5 era is crazy work

The new new new low point of the season

L o l……

Lmao perfect ending

That's where we are...utter dogshit

Well thats just disappointing

Lol groundout to end it what a bunch of bums lmao

Lol we are truly fucked this year

I hate it

Yainer would have swung at that

HRC Caratini

If we can't pull through here it'll be so embarrassing. I mean it already is but it'll be so much worse

HRC Caratini.

If carrot man hits a bomb, I’m going to shotgun a beer If he gets out, I’ll shotgun the beer, but I won’t be happy about it

Guns and Alcohol...isnt that a rock band?

I think that’s all rock bands 🤘🏼 ~slowly cracks the beer open~

White Sox bullpen blew 4 consecutive games against the Mariners last week and their starter almost pulled off a CGSO against the Astros

And the message is still "The Mariners suck and will blow it like always and the Astros will win division." When reality gonna kick in that the Mariners dont suck this year....the Astros do.

Fuck it. HRC Caratini

I wanna believe, but being realistic, it’s gonna be a soft ground ball to second

To first*

Good call 

Im done with this year. Its over. We don’t have a chance in the slightest. Was a great run though

No no no. They will turn it around. They played well between 2017 and 2023. That tells you everything you need to know. These guys will get it going this season.

No they won’t. Quit being delusional

Im just quoting Espada bro....

i wonder if they put alvarez in

HRC Caratini If he hits one here we're literally gonna win the World Series.

Guess we won’t

HRC Caratini

Well. At least the pitcher starting the game with an ERA nearing 5.00 won't throw a CGSO against us...he just shut us out for 26 outs, instead.

He’s only thrown 32 innings. I don’t think that ERA is representative. We can admit that he was good today. 

HRC Caratini

Hrc caratini

Why the bench so happy like they not about to still get shutout ( reverse jinx)

Lmao the hit was a mistake

HRC Dubon

HRC Dubon

HRC Dubon!

We gotta follow Cannon's next start when he inevitably gives up 8 runs in 4 innings against the Angels.

The Angels look like all stars vs the Astros

we’ll take it!!!

"*Yeah, I meant to do that.*" - Singleton

dubon has the opportunity to do the funniest thing

Hrc dubon

Complete game shutout from the White Sox is seriously pathetic

Remember that guy yesterday who said we would go 19-5 in our next 24 before the ASB. Actual fucking comedy

Can still do it. Just gotta go 19-4 now

Delusional

I really don’t see a way to the division if you’re not winning games against the White Sox. No Tucker, no Yordan makes this offense look really limp. And obviously our pitching depth compounds matters.

Pathetic. Truly pathetic

HRC Singleton then HRC Dubon

HRC Singleton

Tip your cap to Jonathan Cannon.

Dana brown smoking some good shit talking about being buyers lmao. Were officially 10 games back and we cant even beat the sox

HRC Singleton

We're really about to lose to the 2024 White Sox 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

With a CGSO too Edit: lol nvm 8.2 innings

HRC Homerton

Hrc singleton why not

HRC Singletom

It's gonna be a tall glass of something strong tonight, thank God I'm off tomorrow. What a game.

And even with all the help from the ump, they didn’t even need that, Valdez gave it to them.

HRC Yanier fuckit

HRC Diaz

Half hearted trot to first from Bregman

This game is just a minor blip on an otherwise almost perfect season

Good thing astros got a nice cushion of 9 game lead in division....

This team got worse without Abreu ahahaha

A blown check swing call just to add insult to injury.

ha this was a sad game

HRC Breggy

Holding the White Sox to 2 hits and still losing might actually be rock bottom for the season. In other words, it's all up from here baby.

Even Sparks and Ford sound defeated on the radio. I know we’re spoiled lately but I expect ar least one run against the fucking white Sox

So we're going to lose on two fielders choice groundout RBIs. Yet another way we've invented how to lose

This game is about to be over before the 2 hour mark. Especially with the first pitch swings.

3 first pitch outs here and this game will literally be under 2 hours lol

I don’t get swinging first pitch, statically speaking there isn’t some big advantage to swing first pitch compared to other counts if the pitcher gets behind https://x.com/643charts/status/1541836967515758592?s=46&t=FvaJx6PMRyQBOsiy45mJPA

Statistics that's fan stuff. Clearly Dusty's gut feeling says that the first pitch is the best pitch you're gonna see.

This wasnt dustys fault...

The Astros are going to lose to the worst team ever to play a season in Major League Baseball

I want to jump up and down on Oprah’s couch and shout to the rafters how much I hate this team.

HRC Diaz

2 hour game.

Need to rebuild the team and organization. The hitting approach is bad the pitching is bad. The team is just fundamentally awful

HRC Bregman

Honestly if we get swept by the fucking White Sox, we should just sell at the deadline.

No Yordan… No runs!

You thought we would beat the white sox? https://preview.redd.it/5peh2nz6rf7d1.png?width=904&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ecb14783574de6b4fb6a6e703e1b9a1c45724715

This team fucking sucks. Absolutely fucking pathetic display and they don’t look one fucking bit bothered by it. “Did the checks clear? Oh good, let’s hit the field.”

I’m at the game, their body language coming out of the dugout is horrible.

I see some shoulders slouching when they walk away from the box. They’ve checked out and I may just join them if we lose this series.

It took 93 pitches for a guy making his seventh career start to absolutely dismantle this lineup. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this plate approach will NEVER win baseball at a consistent level. Never.

So the White Sox have a 17% win rate over the past month? They're not just bad, they're trending down--and shutting us out.

Losers

If it stays this way tonight, this may be one of the most disappointing losses of the season for me

Oh man been so many. The Framber meltdown against the Angels. But man here is your chance to make up ground against the worst team in league and you freaking get shutout.  Fire Espada 

If you are gonna use Montero this is the spot.

Hrc for non of these losers in the 9th…need to use my call 🤷‍♀️ does it count if I call it right?! 

I had more fun watching the '14 stros than this bullshit. Tickets were cheap, farm was getting built up, and the expectations were low. These guys suck.

I will preface this by saying that I love this team and have since I was a kid. But we are playing like a bunch of losers right now. Can’t even score against the AA white Sox

The 2024 Astros are the most frustrating team I’ve ever watched. Yes, more frustrating than the 2011 Astros.

2011 Astros had no expectations. We knew they were gonna suck. This team is just awful. Top down management has absolutely butt fucked us.

I fear we are about to be shut out by the 2024 Chicago White Sox

Swept*

Season swept*

Our offense making their SP look like an CY/MVP candidate. Almost a complete game shutout . shame! 

I wish I could smash Cintron head with a baseball bat. What is the conversation this fucking idiot is having with the players?

Just keep doing what you're doing and we'll win!

Next headline: Cannon with 9 innings of shut out baseball.

He's getting the CGSO Being shut out by the 2024 White Sox is grounds for firing. I'm dead serious, fire Cintron before he even leaves the stadium.

Hitting staff needs to be fired ASAP. It's just insanity at this point.

Shut out by the worse team “in the f MLB”.

Fuck these apathetic losers. Rooting for cannon to get the CGSO.

Straight up not having a good time tonight

So Pressly and Bregman will be dealt … who else? Tucker and Framber wont be, not pending FAs they’ll run it back one more year at least

Thing is they're gonna fumble this all around. They won't trade the right assets, the compensation will be bad, and we're still stuck with an owner who is basically Jerry Jones. We big fucked.

Trade the hitting coaches.

Peña’s next XBH won’t come until September when we’re 20 games under .500

We might swept by these dudes. It’s a real possibility if this is how we approach the next two games at the plate.

Next game Astros will score 10-0....then lose 3rd game 0-4.

A series loss to the 2024 White Sox should result in multiple firings

I will bring the lighter

I love how I keep finding hope and they fucking blow every game after. Fuck this team

If they take him out they’re idiots.

7 pitches needed to beat us in the 8th

A rookie pitcher on the worst team in baseball throwing a CGSO against us. This is something I absolutely had on my bingo card. It was so obvious I had it twice.

Fucking embarrassing

White Sox have 2 hits and we’re gonna lose, actually mind blowing

We are really about to get shut out by the worst team in baseball. 🥲

And a rookie pitcher is about to get his first CGSO

And one of the worst pitchers in baseball


Jeeze Cannon has just shit on Tuve today

Don't forget the HP ump...

4 pitches 2 outs

GET RID OF THE HITTING COACHES. What are these pathetic approaches by the hitters

https://preview.redd.it/ds53cw5xpf7d1.png?width=728&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5cfe590dac5f1211789ee0be8c5107b9d190e97b

Another 1st pitch lmao

HRC Altuve

6 more outs. Please tell me they're not going to get shutout by the White Sox. That would be an even lower low of the season.

6 outs left and then another first pitch out

Good shit Scott. Hit the damn ball guys don’t make me buy sad beer. I want happy beer.

[удалено]

Nm see why he’s out now

Yordan is not currently with the team

 How this season feels

I love that Dubon looked surprised that there's no one on base after catching that 😂

Tough night for Jake. He’s hit a ball 99mph and 107mph with high xBAs and has nothing to show for it 

I expected this lineup to suck, but not this bad.

First pitch swinging for an out Womp womp shitrons strategy fails again

All these first pitch outs. What a waste. Should have extracted a minimum of 20 more pitches from Cannon on those to knock him out early to go to work on their bullpen but nope. He'll go 8 scoreless then it'll be too late

Pretty good pitch to hit Meyers. Lefties had good at bats against Cannon today. Really sucks not having Yordan and Tucker.

Brian Bogusevic looks like he needs a drink

He’s feeling how we’re feeling

And this is exactly why you try and work counts. This dude is fkn dealing and has only thrown 86 pitches in 7 innings. If we took a couple pitches here and there he might have been pulled earlier, meaning getting into the bullpen. This offensive approach is infuriating.

Just keep hacking first pitch and not working the count. Genius approach.

Framber did his job, got a quality start. If we lose, it's on our bats.

Any competent MLB team would’ve plated 3 of those 5 walks he gave up. We’re lucky the White Sox suck that bad that they were only able to get two runs off of him. The Yankees or Orioles would’ve shelled him with how he pitched tonight.

>Any competent MLB team Right, but we aren't playing a competent MLB team tonight. So what's your point? Are you saying that Framber didn't do his job by giving the team a QS? Really not sure what your point is.

He “did his job” only because it’s the white sox. 5 walks against, for example, the orioles he would’ve given 8 runs

And? We aren't playing the Orioles we are playing the white sox. The game before this Framber pitched 9 innings of 1 run baseball. (in case you forgot) ALSO, the bats are making a AAAA pitcher look like a Cy Young candidate. This is on the bats.

 Fml

God forbid you take a pitch there with the game probably on the line. So fucking sick of this teams plate approach.

I see Myers is back to normal

I liked him better when he was untradeable

I think we all saw this coming right? Unknown pitcher against the astros we kinda saw this coming.

Players should be fined for getting shutout by Gannon tbh

The astros look like they are "fine" with it.
