He had to "deal" with below-mediocre coaching???? HE HIRED THOSE BELOW-MEDIOCRE COACHES! This drives me BONKERS! Why are we handing this guy so...
Nah. Fans are simply wasting waaaaaaaaaaay too much energy on marginal improvements, and being disingenuous with how things were playing out in...
I really can't believe, in 2023, we're still having this conversation about the postseason... Do you think Jeremy Pena is a better player than...
You're waaay overthinking this. I mean, I didn't have Chas in the core, either - and the guy has a .near 900 OPS. Here's how my core works: would...
They've won 62% of the games Julks has started. *That's* the math. It is not, "Here, let me randomly pull a favorable % that supports my...
But wouldn't you say we're in the better spot almost exclusively because of how we feel about Ryans? For me, that eases any other...
We see this a lot with baseball fans, I think - they tend to conflate intention with results. There were certainly viable quibbles with the Abreu...

Sure. And my argument is that I'm not really sure we knew what the best options were until... June? It's not like everything was in place in April...
Had the exact same thought - I'm not really sure *Astros* fans cared that much about Bagwell's beard/stance. And by default, almost *anybody* is...
The Texans - and new GM Nick Caserio - acquired 39 players during the 2021 offseason: 30 free agent signings; five draft picks; 4 trades. And the...
I don't know at what point Dusty should have bought into the Chasissance in June - but there was a very viable reason why he didn't: in his first...
I fully agree: Meyers > Julks - though, again, it kind of feels like Meyers is being lifted up so fans can gripe about it when, really, the...
Chas has been full-time since the end of June. And I don't understand Julks > Meyers, either (though, again: it feels like fans are possibly...
