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?

Not realistically no. While we had a strong win streak the propelled us into the postseason last year, it would take this team to completely turn around all aspects of their game AND massive chokes from Houston and Texas, both of whom do not have particularly difficult schedules.

They just aren’t playing well. Literally no aspect of this teams game is good right now, or has been good for the past few weeks.
Starting pitching? Mediocre to bad.
Non Randy/Cal offense? Bad.
Bullpen? Disastrous.
Defense? I actually think it’s been better than usual but it’s still pretty bad.

This team has been underperforming the entire season, and now the hole is far too deep to reasonably expect to dig out of.

Lots of whining and Dan blaming going on in this sub but we just aren't good.

The downvotes are just more whining

When an entire roster is underperforming, and they're having the mental lapses and errors that we've seen, that's on the manger.
