Good, I hope Seattle overtakes us in August just so we can crush their hopes and dreams again in September.
I will say it's fun that the year they finally get a good offense, their pitching staff goes to hell.
Given your track record as Chas' biggest fan and someone who insisted the Astros would be better off playing him everyday this year, this is amusing. Dusty, who has a 20 year history of getting the best of out of his players, understood how to motivate him and push him. He was pretty good under those circumstances. As soon as he was simply handed the job and didn't have to fight for anything or prove himself, he flopped. I get why it would be hard for someone who doesn't understand leadership or motivation to struggle with those concepts, but it doesn't change reality. Fortunately, the Astros have been far smarter than you in being able to see this across mutliple GMs and multiple managers, instead of just running him out there everyday because he was good in 2023. Imagine where the Astros would be right now if Chas was starting all season instead of Meyers, Dubon, and others - it would have been your dream world, though.
