    To be honest, I never wanted to change from the Hinch Luhnow team. I hated the presumed "agreement."

    Yeah.... you and every other poster in this forum.

    Click and Brown have done decent enough, I guess -- but the Astros are still living off Luhnow.

    Definitely a PR hire and I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Manfred mandated Dusty's hiring. I cant prove this but never doubt Manfred's ability to try to do everything he can to try to gift the Yankees a ring.

    Major star in the making. What could he have done if given a chance last season?

    Dusty gave it away. He simply gave the Rangers the series.

    Some of us knew it last year.

    Now everyone understands.

    Except a few truther holdouts but they are irreparable idiots.

    ...while punishing Straw's replacement in Chas.

    (Okay, that didn't age as well but still...)

    At least Dusty didn't hate Maton.

    Insane to think that Dusty denied himself a second ring, back to back no less, turning around one of the biggest scandal's in the sport's history, out of pure hubris. Like.... why??? I get currying favor to your vets but to let pride completely overtake reason at the biggest stage is baffling and dare I say flat out stupid.
