I don’t disagree at all … but I still think being “the best Astro” and “the best player employed by the Astros” are different things. I don’t give...
What do you want him to say? He and his team are smart. They know the issue, but they also know there is no way to talk about it publicly. So he...
So, you read my entire post - and perhaps my dozens of posts before that - arguing with data (and correct grammar) why Diaz should play more, and...
Well, hard to disagree. I stand corrected.
No A joke and a troll. He says nothing except “this person was the manager of a team that won.” He cannot explain why. He cannot explain what is...
This. This is not a serious person. Maldonado was the catcher for a championship - that does not mean he led our staff to a championship. And...
There are 8 hitting positions on the field. The Astros have a ROOKIE who is the best person at one of those. Dusty chooses not to play him. Idiots...
I LOVE this approach. It accounts for the variability of development and makes clear the most important factor, which is often hidden …...
This is exactly it. Altuve has some years to go to objectively surpass Biggio’s counting stats, and perhaps never had and never will have the...
Agreed. It’s like I told my kids when they were younger and worried about who was ahead of whom in math, art, sports, whatever … “you all suck...
The best hitting catcher in baseball - as a rookie - barely made the “consensus top 100”. With only 8 players I really appreciate all the work...
he has now hit a home run in each of his last three starts as a catcher. Beyond the obvious Dusty point, it shows good handling of pressure by...
Oh, the message isn’t to Chas. It is to the media, the fans and (most likely) the front office for continuing to question the HOFer about “his team.”
He just cannot help but send another “I’m in charge” message. Diaz and Chas in, but at bottom of the lineup after “the regulars” Pena and Abreu.
This is the problem. For Dusty and his (rapidly shrinking) legions of defenders, the fact that he is an automatic HOF manager means that whatever...
Well, @Buck Turgidson could have said Godot, but that would have been absurd.
Last night I went to bed (European time) upon seeing the lineup, said “this lineup with this pitcher means a lopsided loss”. Woke up to see that...
I can’t find the post, but someone called it. After the blowback re Chas last night, Dusty will just launch a huge FU to the fans by sitting both...
Dusty is trying so hard for the “I told you so moment.” Same thing with Julks pitch hitting a while back in a similar situation. He wants one of...
1) you can tell he hears the criticism and, at some level, it bothers him 2) his response is like that of a little child - “I’ll show you - no...
