    You do realize I'm not talking about player performance. Young players develop and I can promise you Dusty didn't sprinkle pixie dust on them to pitch better. I'm talking about his inability/unwillingness to make sound decisions. The man is a dinosaur and what's worse is he seems stubborn and spiteful about it too. That's the last time I respond to you.

    AJ got himself fired by allowing Cora and Beltran to RUN over him with the sign stealing BS. I assure you Dusty Baker wouldn't have allowed that. Dusty is not worried about 3 wins with this team. He is worried about the playoffs. Jake Meyers is being used because they are trying to get his batting into form. They needed him up and couldn't let him stay in AAA to work on it. Experimenting in the regular season when u have a large division lead helps you in the long run. Fans want their team to win every game and have their players play every game. That is not conducive to winning in the playoffs.

    Don't waste your energy. I did and I regret it. The dude is a child and uses childish logic.

    Will fall on deaf ears. He's not concerned about facts. I won't dignify "I have a white wife" because we know that's not true. He likes Dusty because he's black. That's it

    AJ got himself fired because the last operation was arrogant and thumbed their nose at baseball culture and customs, traded for a wife bearer and then rubbed the national medias nose in it during a celebration while they knocked off the darlings of the MLB. He got got for those reasons and no other. They Astros weren’t doing anything radically different than anyone else at the time, and truth and logic has never gotten in the way of an unfair witch hunt or Jose Altuve wouldn’t be public enemy #1 when he didn’t even participate. And the reason he didn’t participate was because it actually hurt him, not for any moral compunctions. Guys have cheated since the beginning of time and Dusty basically just admitted to illegally popping greenies. Nothing new under the sun. AJ was a fall guy bc the last outfit pissed people off, nothing more or less.
