    Odd how Astros pitching is definitely one of the best in the league. Which should be a credit to the manager. Yet in any given week it feels over and under managed.

    Yeah, better than a manager who never failed to make the ALCS. LOL. You are ****ing delusional.

    Espada would’ve done the same, probably better, if he inherited those teams. That was a turnkey job for Dusty and we should’ve won more than one while he was here, playing favorites.

    also, I posted it because of the dumbfuk who bumped this thread.

    Espada hasn’t even won a game in the playoffs, idiot.

    You know nothing about baseball. You aren't an Astro fan. You only like Dusty because of the color of his skin and you only hate Diaz because Dusty caught flack for not playing him. You hate Diaz and Chas to this day for it, and you would rather see them fail than the Astros win simply because you are a racist before you are an Astro fan. You’ve admitted all of this. You’re a complete shitt head.

    Agreed, but two things can be correct at the same time.

    Yep. Dusty did a poor job but still got 1 ring.

    Both things are correct

    Very well said. Being racist is one thing, being proud to be a racist is another, and he's damn proud of it.

    I don'r have to root for them to fail. This team is boring, has no life. Chas and Yainer both major disappointments.......Espada is not now ever and will never be a better manager than Dusty....Hell, even Bregman last year complained about Espada
    winning a championship is not doing a poor job. Getting swept against Hinch is though

    The Astros are on track for their worst season in a decade….Funny how that happens AFTER Dusty left. You actually have no right to complain.

    You’ll probably end up with a losing season

    Not going to at bat for Dusty - more just trying to figure out what Espada contributes other than awkwardness.

    I’m not an Espada fan. I was neutral about him getting the job. He hasn’t been good. I’m hoping he keeps improving, as slow as it may be. If we fall apart, he will be replaced.
