This needs to be addressed by Dana.
Well that was ****ing depressing. What a wasted opportunity.
Dusty and Maldy don't deserve to be at the MLB level and they absolutely need to go
Without doing the legwork I bet we are in the bottom 5 in playing Manfredball
this is why I'm tracking the wildcard standings

**** SP, let's trade for 2 big bats and a manager.
Blown friggin opportunity

That's what you get when you start Julks and Maldy.
It's ridiculous. Get Diaz to work with Javier and Framber, like NOW.
What is the reason that is stopping them from developing Diaz as a catcher? It's insanity. It would be similar to starting Josh Reddick most games when Tucker is raking and much better at ALL ASPECT of his game.
Astros are 16-26 in Manfred ball...all under Dusty

Only the Astros can make a series win feel disappointing
0-5 on the year - worst in baseball. KC and ARI each are 0-3, the only other teams with 0 winsMathguy64 said:

Where our boy Dan Shedd been?
With Dusty continuing to fill out the lineup card I'm thrilled with a series win. Diaz once again proves why he should play more and once again he will go with ice cold Maldy....for reasons.CFTXAG10 said:

Remember when Dusty said we always put special focus on the third game of the series?
I remember……
Unless we've already won the series; in which case we fart around.
Glad to get 2 of 3, but we need some sweeps. Unfortunately this offense reminds me a lot of 2021 when we'd win in spite of it at times.
7-2 on this homestand should be the expectation. 6-3 would also be fine

"Well, you know, we're playing so good with Maldy I feel like we should just stick with that"
Dustified logic
I am actually in the state and paid for five tickets for Saturday. I swear if Dusty starts Maldonado and Julks each and every one of you will hear the boos on the broadcast.
I hope you're working on your lung capacity. Might need a yell practice or 2.Big Bucks said:

Pressly has given up runs in SIX of of his last seven appearances. Abreu needs to be the closer for the time being and Dana needs to go to work.
Just glad I stayed down on the Llano River until nearly 9:00 watching a great sunset instead of watching the first eight innings of this crappy offense.
Keeping track - very conservatively this is the 5th game I totally put the loss on Dusty. Yes umps blew some crucial balls and strike calls and offense was non existent but Diaz not in the lineup, Maldy leading off the 9th, and a couple other wtf moves and non moves are squarely at Dusty's feet.
I can totally see why Click and Dusty didn't mesh - still waiting for Dana to do something.

Astros probables against the Reds:
— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) June 16, 2023
Friday: J.P. France
Saturday: Brandon Bielak
Sunday: Ronel Blanco
Hunter Brown is fine. The Astros are giving him an extra day.
If the best players played most days and they still lost, it would suck but be acceptable.
The fact that they lose because the dunce manager doesn't care and plays by rules that don't have internal logic in this universe is what is so mind-blowingly infuriating.
Not to entirely absolve McCormick, Altuve, Bregman, Peña, and Tucker of getting themselves shut out by a 26-40 team.

Could Dana even fire Dusty if he wanted to, or is Dusty protected by Crane? We all gave Hinch **** but you could at least understand the reasoning behind most of his decisions. Dusty's mindset seems to be making the worst possible decision and then quintupling down on it.
The Rangers have 1 regular with an OPS below .700, and he's a part time DH around .630
The Rays have 3. One is at .697 and the other 2 split time at catcher and are both above .660
The Braves have 2, both above .600, one of which is a rookie SS
The freaking Diamondbacks have 2 catchers above .670
The Astros are putting a guy in for 155 ABs with a .550 OPS and a guy with over 170 ABs that, amazingly, has a .660 but plays more than guys who are better. It is absolute malfeasance.

Dusty's not getting canned, y'all. As frustrating as his lineups are, we just won the World Series. That said, I don't see Dana giving him a free pass after this season.
Dusty had such little impact on that world series.
That's better than over-managing like Dave Roberts and having too much effect. Or AJ in 2019, Game 7. Dusty made the right moves when needed.
Optics matter, and Crane can't have that much negative press.

Rangers in a slump they are talking about us what a weird and obsessive fanbase
And you're talking about them. You're no different.
Why not?
What press can be worse than the cheating stuff?

What's up with the board maturity sheriff thing lately?
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Unfortunately agreed. Dana has to be bold. Machete has a place on this team as backup catcher and leader bit Dusty is too stupid to see it. Trade for a catcher and cut Maldy. It's unfortunate for machete that's the way it has to be but as long as he's on the roster Dusty will misuse him.
Why trade for one? We have a good one on the bench and he's free to get and cheap.
why would we ever do something that won us a ton of games and a World Series! That would be crazy!Beat40 said:
Can we please go back to Altuve leadoff and Peña #2. I don't care why it works, but it does work.
