Just once I'd like a reporter to ask him:

"Dusty, what do you say to critics of your policies like 'everybody plays' who point out that over decades of coaching you always failed with those policies? And it wasn't until you joined a team that had already been to 3 World Series in 5 years without you that you finally won something - with a bull pen even you couldn't screw up?"


2 WS in 3 years.

Dusty has gone ALCS, WS, and WS winner. Its hard to argue with the final result.

I would contribute to a crowdfund attempt to get Chandler to do this. Unfortunately it would probably immediately end clubhouse access.

Chandler is one of the very few who would actually do that. He's the one who asked Dusty why he didn't pinch hit for Maldy last night. Dusty was not a fan.

8:10 starts a day perfect. Kids are in bed and no distractions. I'll have to watch tonight's game on delay

Farmer and I will meet up in The Woodlands. Marvin can join if he gets Mrs Marvin's permission. And then we'll make a list of who we decide is worthy of joining us in the city for an expanded Astros TexAgs meet up.


Hey let me invite myself if you don't mind

I really just took on a bigger interest in this game about 7 or 8 years ago. Whereas before I found it too slow. NOw I really enjoy the way a game develops from inning to inning.

I would enjoy just sitting in and learning from y'all (Plus a good shot or three of whiskey is always a welcome addition)

Hope HB has his big boy britches on tonight


The way Hunter's been pitching we may get a quote like we heard the other night except, "I wish I wasn't out there for the 3rd inning, to be honest."

Ketch has been on my ass to get out and have some fun. Between work, kids (dance, softball), and my wife working I have so little time to go out with the boys (snuck in the Arlington trip tho).

We should make it happen tho.

Hunter aint a *****.

On pitching strategy talk, I think we need to view the 2023 postseason as basically piggybacking/on hands on deck every game. If we get down big early, we may need to punt a game (like the Sox did a few series back).

Sure, Framber & JV will be afforded to go as deep as they can, but basically, everyone else needs to get thru the lineup once, maybe twice then pass the ball on to someone else.

I think the Dodgers are going to handle things like that with how many issues they have been having. I think that is the main reason we've passed them at the sports books.

Do you guys golf? I'm the same with spare time, there isn't enough so my favorite way to hang out with other guys and be able to golf is do it together.

Or go with my 9yr old.

I'm not very good at it but I have fun still between swings and overreactions to my poor shots.

After the offensive output the previous 2 games, I don't have a problem with today's lineup.

I hope y'all understand how difficult that is for me

My reaction to slicing my drive is pretty similar to the reaction on here when Maldy is in the lineup

My reactions would fit in well here. I don't react much to watching baseball besides playoffs.

I had to triple check this was real. The parodies of him sometimes sound more real than this nonsense.

He's held serve with arguably the best team in the last 6 years. Hell, we supposedly have 3 of the top 5 offensive players during that stretch according to some of the videos posted the last week on here. Imagine if he was a good manager and not just everyone's friend.

I still want to do some sort of meetup for a game with you dorks. There's a new spot that opened up in The Woodlands that I like.
If I leave home at 5 p.m. on a Friday I can be there by 11:30 p.m.

Jake will either go 2-4 with 2 extra base hits, or have us cussing out Dusty for having Chas on the bench by the 7th inning

AJ Hinch: 2017-2019:
1 World Series win, 1 World Series loss, 1 ALCS loss
Texags: "Ahhhh, the good old days, oh if only we could go back!"

Dusty Baker: 2020-2022
1 World Series win, 1 World Series loss, 1 ALCS loss
Texags: "I would tear off my own left testicle to give this guy a fatal heart attack!"

Dusty also inherited the 2017-2019 roster that had experience winning. AJ inherited the 2012-2014 team that had never played in meaningful games

Also 2023 Dusty is the main problem. His 2020-2022 managing didn't bother me as much
