Former Astros Tracking Thread

I think his time as a closer has come to an end. His whip is crazy. Glad Dana got something for him and we don't have to watch him give us stressful loaded bases eighth innings anymore. We just have to watch abreu gives us stressful eighths now.

Still appreciate him though.

 

He was a terrible manager

 

Who, in your thoughts, were the best Astros managers in history?

 

Hinch, I liked Dierker

 

Dusty is the only Astros manager to make the playoffs every year. Also the only one to make the ALCS every year. But hey, keep hating on the HOFer.

 

Do you remember Dierker?

 

I do. He had a stroke in the dugout. I had a soft spot for him
Maybe that's why

 

Can't stand him as a manager. I know he's a good person

 

Do you remember Terry Collins?

 

I remember Collins. Unfortunately

 

Hal Lanier?

 

Harry the Hat

 

Lanier was before my time.

 

I'm jealous of the kids.

 

I'm not that young.

 

Hinch, Dierker, garner were my favorites. Dusty is probably better than the moron managing during the bad times that was a former football coach and didn’t know the rule book. Maybe also better in game than Espada who seems like a moron and better maybe at clubhouse management than Espada. At least Espada knows how to fill out a lineup card with the right players on it most of the time, which is like the easiest job a manager has, and one Dusty failed at every damn day basically.

 

Dierker was the epitome of "roll the ball out, let them play". It worked really well in the regular season.

 

Those teams weren't as talented as the Braves teams and it didn't help that Biggio/Bagwell sucked during the playoffs.

 

Dusty nice guy. I trust him with wine selections, but not a lineup card.
