They had one of baseball's most injured seasons after Dusty left. Espada got an injured Yordan for the playoffs -- Dusty got a healthy Diaz then benched him for his boyfriend. Okay Hinch led a championship team, then Dusty rode the coattails. Great for Dusty and his Dust Mites. Espada rode to the hospital to check his injured players.
Did Dusty get there without a healthy Alvarez? Dusty has zero championships in two decades without Houston.
Here’s a fact. I was told Yainer Diaz was the next superstar and so was Chas. -Stared them both = Worst Astros season in years - Wildcard Sweep - Got further with Maldy and won
Maldonaldo was DFA'd by the worst team in MLB history this season. Dusty was too stubborn to do anything similar. Nobody was calling Chas a superstar. Diaz is probably the best catcher in MLB (top 3 minimum). Dusty can do nothing wrong in Dust Mites eyes. They better be happy he ever found Houston. Otherwise they'd still be glorifying a ringless manager. Arlington is definitely happy Dusty was their opponent.
Rvo is back off JackSalmon I see. Dude just waits for the astros to fail so he can feel good about himself.
This man waited for the Astros to missed the postseason to start this thread. Didn't happen. This man waited for the Astros to lose on the AL West division to start this thread. Didn't happen. He had this loaded up and ready to go regardless of the results of the Astros' season. Had the astros advance but lost in the ALDS he would have started this tread. Had the astros made to the ALCS and lost in less than 7 games, he would have started this thread. Had the astromade to the WS and lost, he would have started this thread. He's so fixated and in love with Baker and Martin, it's mental. If i had the choice, i'd totally go with Hinch over Baker and Espada all day. Bring back Luhnow while we're at it.
Dusty gifted the Rangers a World Series and now for the rest of our lives we have to hear Rangers fans gloat about winning 4 games in Houston on their way to a championship.
