    The only thing you care about is Dusty’s skin color. That’s it. You wanted the Astros to lose last year, openly rooting for Espada and Diaz to fail. You are nothing but a race baiting chump.

    Definitely not an Astro fan

    That was the best bullpen in Astros history you ****ing racist. Hard not to press the right buttons in those playoffs. Why wasn’t he a genius the next year?

    They let that egomaniac walk for a reason and it wasn't skin color you ****ing tard

    Man, I just don't get your disdain for Diaz. He was probably the best rbi producer on the team last year. Hopefully Chas fall off was due to injury. Time will tell on this.

    Yes he did, being honest that bullpen was so dominant that was a pretty easy job to do.

    Agreed, and it's the reason I don't understand all of the love Hinch gets around these parts. In addition to Hinch letting the cheating continue.

    It’s simply because Maldy was Dusty’s boy. Dusty played him over Diaz even though eveyone, including the front office, knew he was wrong for that. That is the reason RVO hates Diaz, Espada, and the Astros. He only supports Dusty because Dusty is black. If Dusty was white, RVO wouldn’t even remember him.

    He has admitted all of this too

    They were the best bullpen while you said Dusty normally screws up his pitchers. They were managed to get REST. You owe your thanks to Dusty. It wasn’t the fact the bullpen was the best. They were rested. McCullers was left to take a beating in that WS game so the other guys would be fresh. It paid off. Dusty argued to have Peña bat 2nd while Click refused. It paid off.

    I didn't know Click didn't want Pena batting 2nd

    Wow. You are dumb. Any manager wins in 2022 with that team. Dusty proved this by being so terrible in 2023. Also, you should stop posting here since you aren’t an Astro fan and are openly racist.

    There is no such thing a proofing a position against a manager's actions. Y'all are determined not to give a HALL OF FAME manager his due.

    You are ****ing idiot. The teams Hinch took to the WS were NOTHING like Dusty's.

    Did the Astros let him walk because I am a dumbass? Why didn’t they keep Dusty?

    I think Brown wanted his own guy and someone younger. Well, they got a quick playoff exit out of it. Their quickest since 2015.

    More likely that it was because Dusty decided to play inferior players and it cost us a chance at another title. Almost cost us a playoff birth altogether.
