This season's responsibility now shifts on Crane from here on out IMO. It's time to start demanding some accountability. Eat your slice of humble pie, and admit you chose poorly not only when you let Click walk instead of Dusty but also when you made substantial moves without an analytics-driven GM in place to evaluate said moves.

Dusty should be gone and Maldy DFA'ed by gametime tomorrow. Thanks for the memories, and best of luck.


Seems like I had seen enough by mid-June. Who called for Big Brain's head before me?

Ok, damn it. Old school hotties for runs.

Today, unfortunately, many Americans have good reason to fear that they will be victimized if they are unable to protect themselves. And today, no less than in 1791, the Second Amendment guarantees their right to do so. - Justice Samuel Alito 2022

This is depressing. We are going to be watching October baseball on the couch.

Go back to analytics. Hire Elias back from Baltimore, find a whiz kid manager, and rebuild the dynasty.

Last thing this team needs is another maintenance manager. Screw that.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Agree about going back to analytics. It's unbelievable they went away from it after all of that success. I think they did it because they didn't like James Click.

The team has quit on Dusty. I'm sure they still want to win and make the playoffs but you can see all the signs of discontent with the manager. If Dusty is this arrogant and dismissive outwardly to the media, just imagine what he's said behind closed doors. Especially to some of the leaders who have tried to talk to him.

He could have rode off beloved last year, instead he'll be remembered very differently

I wouldn't give him the keys to next year just yet but I'd at least see if he can rally this team for the last week of the season, especially if they've quit on Dusty.

Second outing of the year that Lyles gave up no runs.

They should, but they won't….there was absolutely no reason for him to have been retained after the 1st half, why do it now?

Dusty isn't going anywhere this late in the season. This is what we've been dealt.
And I would be a little surprised if it isn't Espada next year. I wouldn't hate it.

At least Tucker is padding his stats. A 30/30 season might get him a few more bucks on the open market.

It's been mentioned earlier but it's pretty clear Dusty has lost the clubhouse. You see it in the players and you hear it in the broadcast.

Over 3 million fans this year to watch a losing home record.

More disappointing signing than Abreu? Gomez? The list is small given how monumentally bad he has been.

And that's why Crane allowed this clown show to go all the way over the cliff.

Straight-up, I won't have any level of excitement for next season if the entire staff isn't blown out. If the players quit on a manager, they're also quitting on his staff.

We make that move and I won't pay a lick of attention until they prove that I was wrong.

Idk…maybe because this team isn't mathematically eliminated yet, maybe they've quit on him and Espada can light a fire under their asses to finish strong and get hot right before the postseason starts.
I know it won't happen but a case could definitely be made after the way this team has played since routing Arlington.

Jose Abreu has 83 RBI this year. How many would Chas or Diaz had batting before/after Tucker all year? Infuriating

Crane on the verge of losing that post-season money if this continues. Just fire Dusty and call it a business decision

I'm so glad we're still mathematically a lock for the playoffs, that way we can lose the wildcard in 2 without scoring a run.

What a bunch of losers the Astros have turned into. Weak whiners

Season on the line and John Phillip Sousa has the bump. Check that off the season bingo card.

Generally an organization takes on the personality of the man in charge. Our team plays like a disinterested old man. Why switch between boredom and groychy

Never thought I'd say this, but on the plus side, we finish our last 6 games on the road instead of home

And what happens when this clown show heads to Seattle and Arizona?

You think they can turn it on? I'll take some of your faith!
