Why?????? He’s gotten the Astros to one of the best records in the league…. Unless of course you are one of those fans that think they should win all 162 games……

Alright, Peej, I'll take a brief moment to explain, although I know this will all go right over your head.

The Astros' pythagorean W/L (or expected record) based on team stats is 75-44, a solid 5 games better than they currently sit. Why are the Astros 5 games worse than they should be? Dusty fricking Baker.

The Astros have scored the most runs/game in baseball and are tied for the 5th fewest runs/game allowed... and yet here we are tenuously holding on to a division lead instead of running away with things.

So for those reasons, frick off, Dusty Baker.

The key to beating these Astros, bring up your minor league pitchers with 5-plus eras and start them. Surefire win.

In 2017, we went 11-17 in the month of August and then followed up with a 20-8 September.
Only difference in the team from month to month? We picked up Verlander. Someone needs to go strip him from Kate's bosom and put him in uniform, fricked up arm be damned.

Definitely there seems to be needing some cage rattling going on in the clubhouse, but there doesn't seem to be personalities on the roster vocal enough. Dusty is an old putz, and not going to do anything. Your not going anywhere when relying on a utility infielder and a recent rookie callup to power your offense.

So you're saying that the Astros will take a nail-biter into the 8th, whereupon Stanek will load the bases on 2 pass balls and a hit batter before giving up a grand slam? All while Dusty stares off into space, lost in thought about the myriad ways a mask could be worn? Cause I'm pretty sure that's what you said.

I would damn near rather see this team face the Unit in his prime than put up whiff after flyout after strikeout against the dregs of MLB starting pitchers.

If the first two pitches are anywhere within reach of the catcher, under.

Like clockwork this clown with a 5+ ERA is cutting through like a hot a knife through butter.

I think we’ve had what? One decently struck ball?
