Asked why they continued to pitch to Adolis García, Baker said “You got to pitch to him at some point in time. That’s baseball. He was hot. He’s been hot the whole series. He got us.”
No, you didn't have to pitch to him every time lol
This pisses me off more now. What a joke. He should have walked him when there they man on 2md and 3rd to load the bases. Garcia proceeds to get a 2 RBI single

Garcia is coming off tj and wont be back till what? July? And lance hasnt dont much for a couple of years. We still have plenty of pieces to Make a run but expecting those 2 to be major contributors could be wishful thinking.

Our pitching kinda sucks.
We're team Yordan. That's it.
We get Garcia and McCullers back and basically lose only Brantley…. That is a net positive plus whoever we sign.
Get a dog.
Even in his postgame he continues to make no sense. I will not miss his lack of critical thinking skills. Sure he knows way more baseball than I ever will, but he's also somehow objectively an idiot. I just don't get it.bearkatag15 said:Astros manager Dusty Baker: “It’s not easy to accept or say, but we got beat.”

2.27 ERA in 8 starts in 2022. 3.48 career ERA. He had a surgery to fix a problem that has bothered him since 2021 when he had a 3.16 ERA over 28 starts.

I think there are decent odds we either get Neris or add another big time piece to the bullpen.
And didnt pitch in 2020 and 2023 right? Im just saying its a complete unknown what you will get with him he could be that guy or easily not be sharp and be like a hunter brown

Wrong. 28 starts in 2021.
Lol corrected it but you are to fast
He was recovering from TJ in 2020.
Oh thought he didnt pitch in 2020. Im old
Will they non-tender Maldy?
Surely he won't do the honorable thing and retire.

Eh I think we know what you get with LMJ. He will always have the nasty breaker, only I know is health. He is who he is, when he pitches he has been good.

Two moves in the game made no sense:
France over Urquidy in that spot in the 4th.
No Diaz for Maldy in the 5th.
That's it for Dusty. I thank him for helping the team navigate the post-cheating environment and his class. The team needed the PR lift. I wish him well in his future endeavors.
I'd add on:
1. Why take out Maton early? It's the last game until Friday. Why not let your pitchers keep going?
2. Why take out Brown at all? He was doing fine for 2 innings. Should have kept pitching him until there was any trouble
3. Dubon should have come in for Peña at some point.
I'm surprised some of yall want LMJ back, least not as a starter. I wouldnt mind him as a bullpen guy though. Can't remember the last time he has gone a full season.
Like others said, it's like he was planning for Game 8
Maldy is a FA.

After the Astros' Game 7 ALCS loss, Dusty Baker said he would take some time to think about his future.

Need some time to think about if I hate Dusty joining bags on team special advisors to Crane.
Crane already listens too much to Bagwell. Let Dana do his job. Dusty needs to just sail off into the sunset.
There was someone upset that Fox was advertising Big Noon Saturday during post game celebration. Yes, people care more about KU/OU football than the Rangers.

How many special advisors does one need?
Man the rest of TexAgs is completely infected with a metroplex virus.
I actually think his 0fer for Game 7s was in his head. He doesn't know how to manage them.Thinice said:

**** em. And I live in the metroplex
Eh, let them have their fun tonight
Bagwell and Reggie.
Wish we could keep Maldy in the org, maybe as a catching/pitching coach in the minors?
Thanks for the good times Dusty... now bounce
Priority #1... have the team relax, then hire a Manager, and a studd hitting coach, get the team healthy...

Did they really not have anyone ready to go when France was getting lit up?
No
Close this thread out…. Time for the new one
From what I was watching in September, this was a hell of a run.
We played 2 less games than last season, but still proud of the boys. Really looking forward to Spring Training and renewed optimism for the season. It's going to be a hell of a 3-way battle in the AL West next season

that's the crazy thing about the people praising our downfall right now. obviously the playoff are always crazy, but we should be a 100 win team next season.ChAg1799 said:
