Why is Hader so awful for us?

He has been pretty bad in half his seasons. I wasn't thrilled when we got him.

Ummm what?

8 seasons. Four of them counting this year with ERAs over 4.

Re-read that chart.

Glad our scrubs could piece together 8 solid innings for hader to piss it away

Our scrub offense couldn't though. This game was toast anyways.

Astros are going to use 6 pitchers tonight

and not win the game

Hader better hope to get some movement or about 3-4 mph more on his fastball or this will continue. Dudes stuff looks flat and 94-96 isn't that hard to hit when it doesn't move

Well, this sucks.

The three highest paid free agents the past two years have been... not very good.

Front office and ownership- looking at you!

Maybe James Click's mentality of not signing big names wasn't so bad after all

Something tells me that Crane won't stop pretending to be Jerry Jones.

Oh look, another big inning. Braves doing exactly what we can't on offense stringing together a bunch of singles.

Thanks for showing up tonight, bats!

Hader's ERA is 9.4, whoop!

Bielak and Martinez have to be telling each other this bullpen is trash and we have to bail them out and don't make **** for salary

Another winnable game just pissed away.

Marvin

Silver lining is that the Astros have only lost 4 one-run games...

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Ahh yeah. Mea culpa. I still don't think he's all that.

2024 ERA 9.39 now.

Really bizarre considering Crane's success thus far has been with letting his GMs run the show rather than making big flashy signings.

He did that for a very long time until last year.

Was a mistake letting Click go and not trusting GMs to make decisions.

It should be mandatory that if you suck ass, surrender runs, and leave the bases loaded, then Bielak follows and helps solidify your failure. Own it.

1/3 was realistic for this series, but this was the 1.

0/3 is realistic now.

Best April by a new Astro closer since Mitch Williams in '94.

Hader has been frustratingly bad.

Bagging on Crane when everyone in MLB wanted Hader is a terrible take. Not a single GM would have passed on Hader granting they had an owner willing to spend.

6 run bottom of the 9th incoming!

Well he was best in baseball last year. But we can all agree he sucks ass now.

And now has given up the same number of ER this year as he did all of last year. 9 appearances vs. 61 appearances.

And somehow Abreu is getting another AB......

Overpaid and declined quickly. Padded his stats in garbage time.

There is no way Espada is making the on field decisions. He has to be getting pressure from the train station.

Abreu just trying to draw a walk >>>>> Abreu swinging at anything

Garbage time? Was it his fault those teams sucked?

I mean, at this point the game is over, let him dig his hole deeper in a now meaningless game.

W

10:15p, 4/15/24

technically though...

91 mph is not gas
