The Astros Are So Good Even At Their Worst

[@euphonik3565]

The fact that the Astros have the record they have, despite all of these injuries, is nothing short of a miracle. Any other team with this many key guys out would have a record well below .500. They're gonna be alright.

[@luckylag360]

Rafael Montero has cost us several games this year

[@bigtex420_7]

Facts same with Abreu and Bregman, hopefully they finally get it rolling

[@yurmelisa]

Facts, I don't like him at all

[@nocaparoni4502]

Shouldve never paid him

[@Lersiv]

Abreu has costed us more games than montero appearances

[@BrokeBoi342]

it was definitely an overpay, but according to the statistics he’s been very unlucky so far this year

[@xstros9086]

im confident in all players abilities to perform, just they havent started clicking yet. its good to get this slump out of the way first

[@jonathanwillingham8220]

Thank you. I've been panicking about their play lately. This video calmed me down a bunch.

[@jazihelaguillon486]

The astros just needs to win these upcoming May series against the white sox, the A's twice, and if possible the Cubs.. if they managed to do that and hopefully by then altuve is back I think the team is gonna be ok.. great video by the way and I appreciate you optimism during this tough games 🔥🔥👍

[@mrcorona5175]

I’m probably in the minority but I still believe the astros will make it to the World Series regardless of how they are performing now

[@811chelseafc]

Yeah my dad was complaining about the Astros today. I told him “we’re playing like absolute crap and we’re still .500”. That’s bad for us.

[@realmenstandup8944]

I 100 percent agree. The break down is exactly what I have been telling my family. Great job on this video, you clearly see it the way we see it

[@chadwickhartselljr]

This guy just keeps spitting facts.

[@FightingTexasAggie]

Great video with some great points. I sure do hope your right.

[@doragriffith657]

Thanks for sharing!

[@overwatch7774]

If you've been following astros like I have were a second half team if you ain't learn by now! Everyone is panicking for nothing!

[@danielhirschi7835]

I want to say a couple things, #1 LET"S GO!!!- I'm very hyped up about the rest of this month's schedule and next month we'll have Altuve, Brantley back which will really bless our offense #2 I believe maybe the pitch clock has a lot to do with it for Abreu/Bregman especially. We're like in Spring Training for this pitch clock still. Just wait and be patient the season is a marathon not a sprint. These men are human and play top baseball pretty much all year long. I know we all expect the Astros to win over 120 games each year, LOL I try to be patient and hope that we start streaking and the other teams start dropping from the 162 game schedule. Now if this was a sprint, I'd be a bit worried. Calm down and LET"S GO ASTROS!!!

[@zorazaiser6881]

We good y’all. Astros taking the trophy again this year

[@CHRISEPTICON]

Let the baseball gods hear you! Astros have new obstacles to over come. We’ve been spoiled all these years that we panic at the sight of losing. Astros always find a way to win.

[@markitoglez]

Montero is awful I remember him facing the Phillies in ws It was like a nightmare

[@JasonJLee-jx6qz]

I only got to watch this video today, but looking back two weeks ago when you uploaded this video and your comments and where Astros are going TODAY,,,, I must say that you are (were) SPOT ON!

[@GregStoll]

I appreciate your eternal optimism :-)

[@mattpeacock5208]

I think most Astros fans today have forgetten about the decades lrior to 2017. We're spoiled in that we expect a 650+ record all the time. If you're right, this ship will be fine some time in July.

[@kmena05]

I remember when the Astros were bad seeing them struggle gives me PTSD of the 2011 Tanking season 😂 we just want the Astros to keep doing what they have been doing 🏆🏆 the expectations are high now 🤠

[@blakemaxwell7175]

I'm 17 so the earliest games I remember were in like 2014 - 2015 with a young George Springer and Correa. They were exciting to watch because I was an Astros fan. But they were not good at all.

[@shelbyboi8686]

Jp france is just bregman with sunglasses and a mustache

[@joesphgarcia1540]

Agree! Go Stros!!

[@markkar4663]

I would never call LMJ anything but a middling starter. He's a high pitch count high walk guy, a 5 inning pitcher. He's only had one full season.

[@dsgx1353]

This video gave me hope

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

Go Stros

[@docwigglegiggle5624]

It’s amazing to see the Astros win against top teams like the Rays and Braves. What would be more so, if they were to win series against teams that are substandard to professional baseball. Idk why we lose to teams that we should easily beat. Like in ‘22. Once montero, pena, and Abreu make their adjustments and the return of Brantley, LMJ, and Altuve happen. We should be on the 95+ win side come seasons end. As long as health is no longer an issue.

[@Charles-pu1tx]

Astros will need some big increases in production with the bats. Hoping it all pulls together with no more season ending injuries. I know they can do it, just need some excited players to get going! 1🇺🇸😁👍⚾️💯😎🇺🇸

[@evankoch2575]

I'm a little worried about Montero

[@randonpolk8788]

I say 100 win season

[@StrateTrippin]

As soon as Montero got paid he blows a few. Hopefully he didn't get the Houston curse of getting paid and not showing

[@gabagaba12ify]

I am relaxed but it hurts every lost

[@alexbreaux8254]

It stinks they are doing bad obviously but they didn't really didn't even play that bad last month, they can bounce back, they always do.

[@overwatch7774]

Well said

[@anthonytravis1420]

I think youre slightly optimistic, but not far off. Altuve has always been the spark plug. He also has always taken some time to find his stride after injury. Hes not even back yet. Also, brantley is past his prime and should have retired. He should hit better than abreau, but thats not saying much and again, hes not back yet either. And speaking of abreau, his struggles should not be surprising. Hes used up, not coachable, and not the team player he was sold as. Mccullers is stealing money from Crane at this point. A lot of bad joojoo comes from parting with a GM after a WS win, Bagwell does not belong in the front office. A lot has gone wrong and the MO of the FO seems to have changed. My only remaining hope lies with Altuve and Baker. Altuve has been the face of this winning era and he still has a few miles on him. We need him back.

[@williamk3796]

Who wants to play against Astros in October 2023?

[@campbellmunn]

Trashtros will be finishing second in their division behind the Rangers

[@dangelojordan9743]

No, manager still have to put the right ppl in to play. Theres no consistency with the Astros offense. The defense is awesome

[@TippfehlerEN]

Can Dusty make Montero pitch less now? We would’ve won the Seattle series, probably would have won the Angels game, he’s blown so many leads, why is he still coming in with close leads?

[@adamm2787]

He has 1 blown save and 1 blown loss in 16 games. His ERA was at 2.25 coming into May. He was lights out before the tragedy of the last 2 games. He only gave up 2 runs in 11 games in April.

[@PineyWoodsPrepper]

I truly wish I was as confident as you are. Those guys coming back won’t help cold bats. That said, I love my Astros!

[@BigJack512]

it's not panic about the record at this point, it's frustration that Dusty refuses to shake up the line up a little bit and apply sorely needed fixes staring you right in the face that might at least slow the bleeding now while waiting for guys to come back off the IL, ie. Maldinado vs. Diaz as primary catcher and a black hole in the 4 spot night after night.

[@brendonbuffaloe8830]

Yeah, I keep wondering why Abreu is hitting so high in the order if he’s playing so poorly. And Maldonado is a free out in the 9-hole

[@StrosProd]

We’re fine, I hope 😅😅😅

[@LordEd21-21]

I am not worried about the Line up But I am worried about our rotation as of right now. If the Astros can stay relevant until the Allstar break maybe we can trade for some starters hopefully the White Socks stay bad cause Dylan Cease and lance Lynn will be at the top of every bodies boards.

[@RedRaiderLobo20]

5 games over .500 today, with missing bats in the lineup. They’re fine.

[@drbryant23]

I think that there is pride to be taken in a team that goes through good times and bad and works diligently towards the common goal. They can be great. And, yes, they are doing it WITHOUT CHEATING. I think that a second championship would help everyone to forget about the tainted 2017 "cheating" season, and ensure their legacy.

[@TomiokaningTomato]

If they had won the games they should've won, it would've been 110+

[@lymannewton3623]

Dusty refuses to pull pictures in key moments which end up a loss for the team. When the pitcher's drowning get out of the pool

[@msscott22]

I agree that the Astros are probably a 93 win team. You're a lot more optimistic about Abreu than I am though. He looks completely washed.

[@Play2Win1958]

And Dusty Baker Jr is their manager !

[@guywebster8018]

The only problem is we are not sure when that line up will come back. We have structural issues here.. Abreu comes to mind.. Not good there imo

[@MegaRussell12]

So good they are on the bottom half of the division.

[@pashahillyard8763]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Brantley isnt coming back...

[@kernlkajun1]

Your glass is half full, mine, half empty….Altuve is great but Abreu and Bregman and the back half of this lineup must start hitting. Montero must stop walking batters and Blanco needs to get more consistent with his pitches. We need a 100% Brantley.

[@msscott22]

Bregman already looks better after his swing adjustment. Abreu though. Man, he looks cooked to me. I'd be surprised if he hits 5 hrs this season at this point.

[@dannytrashmandavito5282]

Brantley not comin back unfortunately. We need lmj, Altuve and chas back

[@user-ly4bz9fw3k]

i said at the time they over paid montero and abreu...i know montero had a great post season last year but i still thought he was over paid...we have no centerfielder with a decent arm....the league will run on them...bielak be lacking major league pitches

[@dtdream27]

Definitely guessed it for Bregman that’s who he is. Abreu is the disappointment

[@mosesmartinez14]

I agree but you left out a player that has been key this season, Dubon. And let’s not talk about the games montero has lost. 🙄😒😒

[@jacksonpowell2157]

I am scared Abreu will become Gomez 2.0

[@donniecontreras1]

Yes

[@VisualColloquialist]

Mariners have the worst team batting average of all 30 teams. France pitched well but it’s not going to be enough. Team has the 22nd best ops as a team in the league. No one is working counts. Waiting is fine and all of you don’t live in a town full of rangers fans. This is already annoying.

[@VisualColloquialist]

Not panicking per say. But there are some pretty glaring holes

[@stevenwoods5787]

my biggest issue is that the guys we've given the big money to the last few years (mccullers, montero, and abreu) lance CANNOT stay healthy, he just cant, and it may be time to move him to the bullpen, but that means youre putting a 85 million dollar man in the pen. i was glad to resign montero, but at 34 mil? after just one good year? and then abreu.... holy shit..... anyone thats watched baseball most of their life and is honest with their self knows that theres something wrong with him. those last 2 signings are on crane and bagwell for acting like they didnt need a GM to make these deals

[@mpocid5063]

i think astros should go sign madison bumgatdner and would be happy with a 4.0 era

[@williamalexander1863]

Can Dubon play 3rd base?

[@derekreilly1356]

Wtf kinda question is that?

[@livefreeordie4586]

I like you optimism but dude they seem to always find a way to lose. I’m with you on the guys coming back but we sure could use #10 🍍😢right now.

[@jakebell652]

I truly hope you are correct…but until then, I will continue to spiral in depression and scream the sky is falling

[@MorningInAmerica_Nov_5_2024]

And here we are in 2024. Astros dead last in AL West with a record of 12 and 24. The only teams with worse records are Marlins, Rockies and White Sox. Starters stink. Bullpen stinks. Hitters, when they can get on base, can rarely get any runners across home plate. Yordan is ice cold. Bergman too. JV allowed 7 runs by the Yankees in a game we'd go on to lose 10-3. We're well past being consoled by reminders that it's early in the season. I think I speak for all Astros fans when I say... WE WANT OUR ASTROS BACK!!

[@Gbark713]

YUPPPPP

[@krisg3818]

I have a few issues of course jose b bregman and of course Maldonado worst hitter in baseball again. I'm confident bregman and Jose b will be ok im not confident in montero tho

PENA & Breggy Runnninh into each other was a bad play that we haven’t recovered from yet

[@ashe1928]

Why did they sign Brantley with so many better ??

[@MFFLTALK]

Rangers division this year, sorry

[@millypoo7713]

Cheaters!

[@littleman938]

Ugh generally when you win a championship your team gets worse but not the Astros they’ll use trash cans and all to win. You guys have ahead this coming for a long time. Don’t know for fact how long they were cheating but slumps like this don’t last a couple games. No it’ll be like a cliff. Exactly what Bregman is going through. AL west is catching up/ or caught up with the Astros

[@derpster-ns5py]
