    Heaven help us if the starting pitching starts going south.

    Although maybe that's actually happening as we speak.

    Jerry Jones hasn't been to an NFC CG since 1995.

    Crane has once again ****ed up this team. It is his right as the owner, but this time his dalliances as GM might be too much to overcome.

    The same folks who blindly blamed dusty are now blaming crane lol. Hey maybe we just have a old team that isn't that good anymore? Compare this team to the 2019 team

    Time to hire Buck Showalter.

    Late 60s, ton of experience, has won at multiple stops. Hungry for a world series title.

    Sounds familiar?

    Where is the age? Abreu? That's it.

    Try again.

    Young stud catcher. Young SS. Young-ish set of outfielders and 3rd basemen. That's 6 of your 8 position players.

    Abreu young. Hader in his prime. Pressly not that old.

    One youngish starting pitcher after another plus JV.

    We botched the last few off seasons. Put me in the time to reset and rebuild camp.

    Crane is a ****ing idiot. That much is becoming very clear. When he was in the background letting his baseball people make the decisions the team as a built into a juggernaunt. He fostered a win at all costs toxic environment and then threw the architect of the dynasty under the bus to save his own ass. He deserves every shitty thing that a good Texans team is going to deliver to his door step.

    I was an Espada guy but I saw someone on here mention it the other day, what if he is Silas? Interviews for a lot of jobs, doesn’t land any. (Silas was like a 20 year assistant). Sam Cassell another guy. Interview, interview, interview, interview but never gets the head job.

    *insert Dusty Silas pic here* @Salvy :D

    Dana Brown is a stooge. Jim Crane is running things (for better or for worse).

    Jimmy needs to get out of the kitchen.

    In the words of Andre Johnson, “Since Jeff Bagwell-Easterby & Reggie Jackson-Easterby has walked into the building nothing good has happened in/for the organization and for some reason someone can’t seem to see what’s going on. Pathetic!!!” [​IMG]

    “Dem damn analytics!”

    Wrongly fired Luhnow
    Wrongly fired Hinch
    Ran off Nolan & Reid Ryan
    Hired Click, fired Click
    Hired a stooge

    Jim wants to be GM/sole decision maker.
    Jim loves splashes (as long as it’s under budget)

    Abreu/Montero: Crane/Bagwell
    Verlander/Hader: Crane

    Next home stand Texas for 3. Then the Braves for 3. This could get ugly.
