    Nothing so far has changed my mind that Espada was absolutely the right choice.

    Yeah that's not happening.

    I think people might forget the fact we won the division because of how weak it is. We're gonna win 87 games. That's still going in the wrong direction after only winning 90 last year.

    Vogt is likely the AL MOY with Hinch a close second.

    I would personally give it to Hinch. He literally only had Skubal, had to rebuild the pen from scratch and they cobble together runs like nobody else.

    The Astros are terrible defensively, can't run the bases effectively, can't play small ball. Lots of issues with this team.

    Hopefully the pen turns into 2022. Then we got a shot at this.

    The NL absolutely should be Pat Murphy of the Brewers.

    It's pretty much guaranteed Hinch is winning AL MOY. I didn't even know Vogt was the damn manager of Cleveland...wasn't he still playing a few years ago? Lmao goes to show I really dgaf about other teams much..

    On this day, 10 years ago (Sept 29)... Astros hired AJ Hinch.

    Him winning Manager of the Year this year will further vindicate him.

    They sold off and were probably going to fire him. Look at him now.

    Cole should've pitched in that game. Before the game Hinch told us that Harris was worn out and Hinch pitched Harris anyways.

    The Hinch fans have selective memories.

    Hinch also could've stopped the cheating, but he didn't.

    Why some people still like him is beyond me. He was at the heart of the Stros troubles.

    Cole was also a diva that wanted to come into clean innings. If anything, should have kept Greinke in.

    One is fact

    The other is conjecture and rumor.

    I think we know what world you're living in.
