The don't lose hope silver lining...

[Ohtaniland]

We were 11-13 last season. 

[tomsred]

It should be next to impossible to hit a little squirt like Featherston the rest of the season.

I thought this was going to be another Iannetta thread.

No we weren't.

[nando714]

The Astros are good

[Angelsjunky]

No we weren't.

 

Yes we were:

We were only 3.5 back though not 6 games.

Thread killer

The team always sucks in the first six weeks of the season. Not worried yet.  It'll be a long time before I think there's cause for worry.  If they still suck when June comes around, then I'll be concerned.  Sort of.  Or not.  I dunno...

[Troll Daddy]

The team has changed since last season.

[Jason]

Glad there's hope. I'll untie the noose now.

At least we aren't ten games under .500, and the team in first place in the division is not likely capable of staying there. I don't believe that we will be chasing the Astros into September. Being just under .500 at a time when virtually nobody in the lineup is hitting isn't a terrible spot. The whole team won't hit under .200 for the season.

Now you've done it

I believe in Houston as much as the next guy.

But the seasons are dotted with teams having great starts, and then falling back.

The 1982 Atlanta Braves started the season 13-0. Later in the same season they had a 13-game losing streak. They did win the division (by one game) but they had to come from behind to do it and they needed help on the last day of the season.

The way we were... Sigh

But we didn't start the 2014 season 11-14.

My bad Claude, I thought the team was 14-12 in April. Forgot they won the next 3 games after that.

All good Tdawg. We kinda suck right now. Hopefully they get it going soon.

[disarcina]

after this lost weekend in SF, we need a good home stand -- nothing less than 6-3 and 7-2 would be great.

[fan_since79]

Hopefully, Houston will cool down a bit by Thursday.

Hot team? The Angels will sweep them.

 

Team lost 5 in a row? SLUMPBUSTERS!

[Quinlanforthewin]

This team needs a giant shake up if nothing changes in the next few weeks. We can't afford to watch Weaver pitch like this and Shoe not be much better with Trop and Heaney in AAA. 

 

If Shoe bombs his next few starts then we have to consider:

 

Richards, Santiago, Wilson, Heaney, Trop

 

As for the lineup: 

 

There's no hope.  Everyone sucks and there's no replacements in sight. Everyone just needs to get better.  Pujols hitting fifth would be a good start. 

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Of course, things can always be more exasperating.

 

The New York Mets gave up two runs total in their last two games - and lost them both.

 

The Pittsburgh Pirates were just swept in a three-game series in St. Louis. All three games went extra innings.
