this team had already been very good prior to his arrival so no I’m not giving him lots of credit since you can replace him with a different coach and still get the same results or even better.
In this long NY trip the Astros starters have thrown 55 innings and given up 9 total runs…. An era of 1.42 The Astros are 6-2 on the trip The Mets and Yankees were a combined 101-45 going into their series with the Astros.
But, can you? Baker makes what we fans think are questionable moves, but the fact is, they have the second best record in the league. Do you think they'd have the same results with LaRussa, Servais, Woodward, Nevin, Kapler, Methaney, Counsell, Black?
I can't begin to tell you how satisfying it is to me to watch the Astros serve the New York Mets their ass.

I can't remember the nickname we game Brown back in the day....he'd be totally calm, calling the game, and talking about the...THEN ALL THE SUDDEN HOLY CRAP THINGS JUST HAPPENED!!!!!
At the game yesterday and was in front of a Mets fan yelling CLANG! and CHEATER! everytime Altuve, Bregman or Yuli came to bat. Then he cheered JD Davis for the Mets and I turned and said "You know... he played for the Astros in 2017". That crushed him!
