That was a nice bunt


Fundamentally it was terrible. He poked at it.

This season is proving the worth AJ brought that a lot of you took for granted. Guarantee we win 2-3 more with him as manager.

Sneed would not be pitching in an extra inning game if AJ were still here.
Sneed wouldnt be pitching if any sentient being was the manager.

Sneed is ass, but who would you propose be out there at this point?

Dusty in over his head, Whoever the Chick dude GM is way way over his head. Cramer getting what he bargained for when he obliterated team culture.
AKA 13-0

There are quite a few. I recall multiple posters saying anyone could have won 100 games with the roster we had the past few years.

Anyone left who hasn't blown 18 extra inning games in the last week?

I, personally, wouldn't have used Parades so early so that he'd be available

Yes, hinch was terrible.

He had the best lineup in baseball and the best pitching staff in baseball for 3 years. Won one.

AJ and baker tinker with bullpens equally as insanely. They both suck at it.

Wish we would get a manager that would just follow a simple formula...if somebody is getting outs let them keep getting outs.

Stop looking at your damn metrics, stop over thinking lefty/righty matchups...if someone has good stuff keep them out there.

So sick of managers micro managing their pens

I don't think Brooks is all that good. He's got some decent spin. Maybe some potential with Strom's help. However, I am confident he's better than Sneed.

If we wanted to use Sneed, I would have rather used him for an inning when we were up 6-4 rather than trying to get Paredes through 2. Then could have brought Taylor in a clean inning.

Second sentence, by many metrics, is straight fact homie.

I don't think he wants to use Sneed.

He's probably trying to avoid him but Pressly has all of a sudden forgotten how to get guys out and has picked up a habit of hanging breaking balls.

He's won one more than all the other Astros managers combined in Houston.

Dusty won 103 his first year as manager.

I reckon he could have won 100 with the 2018 rotation and lineup.

Dumb. Who cares about lineup tinkering.

For the most part, AJ made the right in game moves, game 7 not withstanding. He was light years ahead of what I'm seeing out of Baker as far as I game decisions. AJ would have never done a double steal for Jos Altuve when he had RISP, no matter how bad he had been.

He also wouldn't have put himself into a position where he was left with Cy Sneed in only the 10th inning of a game.
