No disagreement there, but the larger pattern isn’t recent and the previous enablement is likely as much a factor as anything new.
I recall he had a problem punching people in the nads when he was who he used to be. Whatever his problem is, I think it predates your theory.
I thought that was less they let him go and more he wanted to pitch closer to home? He out pitched the contract he signed when leaving and the...
Bregman should get what he can get (as should all players). The $100M he’s already guaranteed meets my definition of generational wealth though.
So you think that Dusty is what the Astros need going forward? Or that he didn't make any questionable moves? Or that the Astros haven't shown...
Congratulations to Dusty on a long and storied career. He did what he was brought in to do and he leaves with division titles in every full...
The games isn't over, but if they do win I'm not sure why you think that a team that beat the Brewers, Dodgers, and Phillies in consecutive series...
I misunderstood. I thought you meant for the Astros.
He will forever have just turned 21 for me!

Now that Dusty isn’t making any in game decisions and it looks like he’s retiring, good to see this thread moving on to the real topics like...

To pitch to Seager or Carter in the fourth inning. That was probably the highest leverage spot of the game and France should have been pulled.
Personally I think it was pitching and not team identity. The team managed to bounce back from a disastrous September and win the division. They...
Pitching has been the biggest problem all season long, so it’s fitting the season ended with the pitching imploding. The months long inability to...
Ball 5 actually.
When you have the entire staff ready to go you don’t throw a guy for multiple innings on no rest when he doesn’t normally do that. Putting in...
Altuve should have walked.
