    Chas from what I hear had the attitude of just being happy to be there. He won't complain.

    He and Mancini must work their charm on Dusty. It's not a lucky charm though.

    Hasn't it been said that the front office makes those decisions? You should be asking Click.

    2-0 with Diaz starting, 0-2 without. Seems like a lucky charm to me.

    He played 119 games, which is pretty difficult to do if you rarely play consecutive games. He just didn't play as much as expected against LHP's. But he played a lot against RHPs - and as it turned out, he's been excellent in the postseason against RHP, so maybe there was a method to the madness.

    Please give that credit to our pitchers. I could also say both games we won I wore the same Astros shirt, and the games we lost I wasn't wearing it. Guess what? I'll be wearing that shirt again but am not all in for the Diaz lucky charm idea. My man Alvarez needs to go full stealth mode tonight. That's what I'm hoping for.

    JV made Dusty look good for sticking with him through 5. I think the old man wanted to give the other old man the chance to earn that W. It’s a results business and Dusty was right. Kudos to him and JV

    I have a rabbits foot that serves the same purpose, has the same post season OPS and does not require a roster spot.

    My post was tongue in cheek. I have no idea why Diaz started either.

    I don't think Dusty looked good for making that decision, but the Astros survived nontheless.

    As the owner of the fire AJ hinch thread in 17, I hope this thread brings just as good luck! Dusty deserves one.
