Houston Astros fans meltdown as team loses in dramatic fashion against Pittsburgh Pirates: "Do better you bums" "This was a slap in the face"

The Pittsburgh Pirates walked off the Houston Astros with a three-run homer to defeat the defending World Series champions in style. The Astros have had a sluggish start to the season, and the Pirates were able to take full advantage. Ji Hwan Bae was the hero for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who launched the game-winning homer in the bottom of the ninth inning.This continues to be a rough start to the season for the Astros, who they hoped would come to an end against the Pirates. They now find themselves two games under .500 to start the season. These are extenuating circumstances, notably their injury issues, but the team will not lean on those excuses.Talkin' Baseball provided a clip of the final home run of the game to Twitter.Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_JI HWAN BAE WALKOFF BOMB!!!59568JI HWAN BAE WALKOFF BOMB!!! https://t.co/cUbEnemDoiHouston Astros fans expected their team to look like world-beaters at the start of the season, and that has not been the case thus far. The series against the Pittsburgh Pirates appeared to be the perfect opportunity to tune up, but it'll be harder than anticipated.Cozy Ŧ 🌵@sad_cozy@astros How do we keep finding ways to lose511@astros How do we keep finding ways to loseFour Lyoko@FourLyoko_@astros love losing to terrible teams!@astros love losing to terrible teams!Celeste@ItsnenaXoxoDo better you bums twitter.com/astros/status/…Houston Astros@astrosFinal: Pirates 7, #Astros 4227Final: Pirates 7, #Astros 4Do better you bums twitter.com/astros/status/…Without Jose Altuve and Michael Brantley, the Astros are not at full strength. However, neither are the Pirates who recently lost Oneil Cruz for an extended period of time. This is simply a game the Astros couldn't lose with everything going on, and their fans know it. The team has built a lot of goodwill with their past success but it is beginning to wear off.c•a•i•t♏️🚩@CaitlinnnReneeY’all done pissed me off so bad I’m watching basketball twitter.com/astros/status/…Houston Astros@astrosFinal: Pirates 7, #Astros 422627Final: Pirates 7, #Astros 4Y’all done pissed me off so bad I’m watching basketball😂 twitter.com/astros/status/…oriana@astrorianafucks sake man twitter.com/astros/status/…Houston Astros@astrosFinal: Pirates 7, #Astros 422727Final: Pirates 7, #Astros 4fucks sake man twitter.com/astros/status/…Chris@St1nkfist93@astros Embarassing@astros EmbarassingThe Houston Astros have tough challengers in the American League West in the form of the Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels.

While it is a concerning loss, it is not time to make radical adjustments quite yet.However, we are closer to that time than some might think. If they are below .500 by the 30-game mark, additions to the roster may be needed. Defending a World Series championship is a tall task, and the Pittsburgh Pirates just made it a little bit harder for the Houston Astros.
