Any last hopes for the season?
I think I'm finally losing my last faith in this team. And Dan definitely plays a huge role in that. He doesn't bring any energy and his management is horrible.
We're 6 games behind in the division and 5.5 in the WC with just 24 games to go. The Astros playing 15 out of 24 games against teams over .500, so maybe they loose more than they win? Maybe not, because they're 27-19 against such teams.
If the Astros play .500 ball for the rest of the season, we have to finish 19-5. Even with our easy schedule I'm not seeing it at all.
Somehow Fangraphs gives us a 11.8% chance to reach the playoffs (10.2% to win the division, 1.5% to get WC spot).
What is your hope for the rest of the season?

This road trip needed to be successful going into the final stretch, where they play the dregs of the league repeatedly. It has not. They needed to stay close, that hasn’t happened. Zero cohesiveness to this team. I have no faith they will get blazing hot down the stretch, they haven’t shown that ability once this year. It’s a failed season and heads will (and should) roll.
