    Who deserved to be in a manager's doghouse the most/least in Astros history?
    *Derek Bell under Terry Collins?
    *Luke Scott under Phil Garner?
    *JD Martinez under Bo Porter?
    *Mike Fiers under AJ Hinch?
    *Chas McCormick under Dusty Baker?

    Houston Chronicle archives exist if you don't believe there was tension between these managers and players before certain posters pile onto me.

    Cautionary tale - J D Martinez under Bo Porter was most deserved. Unfortunately, JDs long overdue adjustment came too late to get another chance in Houston. Think Whitley if he suddenly were able to stay healthy.

    Least deserved is probably McCormick under Dusty, though somewhat understandable because he always had players with seemingly higher upside who just didn't perform at the expected higher level.
