You see I used to be an avid minor league and prospect guy. Kids and life have cut my baseball nerd out time down dramatically. I have no idea how he's doing on the farm. If That has been bad, then I can see it. Scouting, drafting, and developing are the major reasons why the Astros are where they are.ttha_aggie_09 said:The sooner you realize he didn't really build the team that won it and mostly rode the coattails of Luhnow, the easier it is to understand.Ragnar Danneskjoldd said:

Click didn't do a bad job but he not the reason for our success. If you can hire someone better and improve this team for years to come, you make the move. I imagine that is what Crane is thinking.
yeah that's odd, sends a weird message.Ragnar Danneskjoldd said:

I know KHOU is streaming the parade. any other places doing it with better commentators who actually know WTF baseball is?
Man, was that a heartbreaking game. I was working construction support at a site in Mississippi and was listening to the game on the radio at work. When the shift ended, I sat in my car to hear it on the radio hoping it would end. Finally decided to head to the condo and risk missing the rest of it for the 30ish minute drive, since we were in the middle of nowhere and radio was spotty while driving. When I got into the condo and turned the TV on, it was the crowd's reaction to the 14th inning home run to tie the game. I thought the Astros had won and were a lock for game 7 with Mike Scott. Then, it turns out it was just to tie the game. It was crushing.3 Toed Pete said:
A little history lesson for those of you too young to have followed the 86 Astros:
You saw how the Phillies were mentally finished after the Alvarez HR (and the insurance run) because they KNEW, WITH NO DOUBT, they were not scoring 3 more runs off of our bullpen. That's how dominant that bullpen was.
The 86 Mets absolutely knew they could not beat Mike Scott in a potential Game 7 and they had to finish in Game 6 or be done and they won it in 16 innings. That's how dominant Scott was that season.
Sure took a long time to exorcise those demons. And many years of Astros fans saying "if only we could have pulled out Game 6...."

Man, I have to admit... I've been out of the gritty details loop. There's actual hearsay out there that Crane wants Click gone?
Damn you Astros for roping me back into this thread. Haha.
thanks for the heads up!MAROON said:
FYI - Blummer is on Channel 13 (abc) coverage
Wonder if this indicates Blummer's contract with ATT Sports is officially over. They best re-sign him and TK.spadilly said:

The core wasn't built by him, but he hasn't done anything to mess it up. He got a Yordan deal done. The trades this season don't hurt us long term and still helped in the post-season, albeit at a lower level than what we had hoped.ttha_aggie_09 said:The sooner you realize he didn't really build the team that won it and mostly rode the coattails of Luhnow, the easier it is to understand.Ragnar Danneskjoldd said:
