Man what a letdown this weekend was. Feels like the era is on the verge of ending


Not with a different manager. Stros have plenty of guys in their prime if not there yet. This season so far is partially due to injury and a significant part due to managerial decision making.

The 2024 team shouldn't have Dusty Baker, Maldonado or a CF rotation.

If they eliminate those 3 things, that's good for at least 5 more wins minimum

Went fishing with the my daughters in the 9th. It sounds like it was much more enjoyable than watching us bend over.

you know things have gone awry this season....

Dubon has 430 plate appearances / 408 at-bats

that was not the plan way back in spring training
after tonight's game....Dubon is up to 433 plate appearances

he had 179 plate appearances in April & May while Altuve recovered from the WBC injury.

since June 1st...Dubon has 254 plate appearances...when Altuve was active & healthy (except for a 2-week stretch over the all-star break)

didn't realize how much Dusty has been playing him...regardless of Altuve's injury status

Same for Meyers Julks and Maldy.

Dusty has cost this team 10 wins year to date.

So I've been pissed at Dusty before and griped at him plenty but always kinda thought it's not a big deal he's just trying shlt or something, but this is the end of that crap.

Dusty is a serious problem for the success of this team.

I REALLY wanna hear someone ask..So Chas and Yanier have been stepping up and two of the best bats on the team but they've yet to get regular PT. Why is that?

Well you know, if we had Julio Rodriguez playing catcher it'd be a much easier decision, you know, But we don't so we gotta use the guys we have situationally, you know.

This entire yankee series falls squarely on dusty's shoulders

There was zero reason to mess with the lineup tha raked in detroit and boston
Yet inexplicably, even after a day off, dusty changes it and lo and behold, the team goes ice cold

He starts batting Abreu 5th again too which is criminally stupid after he's come back from an injury and has played like **** all year long

It almost feels like there's the Dusty lineup and the Brown lineup and Dusty keeps trying to prove a point that his lineup is better yet it continues to fail

I know it's been posted plenty, by myself included… but the outlook of this team seems to change week by week.

At what point does Crane say Dana sets the lineups?

If management sets the lineups in the playoffs, they need to start doing it now. Every game is like a playoff game now.

Fans should give Chas a standing ovation next time he's in the lineup at home. Act like he's Miggy Cabrera playing his last game in Detroit.

on that note...

Jose Abreu is currently at 498 plate appearances at .644 OPS

he will cross the 500 PA threshold tomorrow

it's been a staggering drop-off in 2023

Abreu has been a lot better since coming back from his IL stint... focusing on him is dumb

His pre IL OPS was .634

Since coming back (I know, small sample size) has been .873

Great pitch call, Dusty.


You're right man, this is a barely 90-win team that may miss the playoffs; everything is great and the manager doesn't set the tone.

There will be statistics that come out of this season which will argue it was one of the worst managerial jobs in the modern era…but do go on.

I'm assuming I'm the only one responding to you b/c most others have blocked you.
It's called sarcasm, dumb ass.
