We can only hope

This would also unironically be the best thing he did for the organization in 3 seasons

There is no managerial magic wand that is going to fix this group of players

Amen. Its literally the least impactful decision this org has to make at this point.

To your point this org is in dire straights without major sweeping changes. Its not that the owner is cheap, its they spent badly on mostly the wrong guys and the farm is extremely weak especially at the upper levels. There is no easy way out of this. It will take vision and willingness to absorb some heat from the fans, but straddling the middle is an even worse course.

The little bit of optimist in me hopes we haven’t heard anything about the GM because they are waiting to talk to folks from Tampa, Milwaukee, Cleveland

Honestly think the informed fans have already made their feelings known and would be patient with the pain it's going to take to dig out of this hole.

Hopefully crane understands the empty seats at 2 playoff games and the boos were directed at him and Bagwell because they were. Not a single media person , even the local softies are carrying their water any longer.

My only hope for this off-season is that message was received somehow.

Astros announce these coaches will return in 2027: Pitching Coach Josh Miller, First Base Coach Dave Clark, Major League Field Coordinator Jason Bell, Hitting Coach Victor Rodriguez and bullpen catcher Javier Bracamonte.


So I guess Brad Ausmus has agreed to having these guys on the staff when he becomes manager....

Just typical Astros nonsense. I get the whole chicken salad/chicken shite thing, but when your ABs are atrocious regardless of the talent of the hitter, go in a different direction.

I'm sure this is how Crane ran his business. The one that provided him enough money to own his very own MLB team.

arse backwards.

Well, thanks for 10 years I guessed would never come with 2 WS rings, one of which my dad was able to witness.

Impossible to take what is going on now serious.

Yep. This announcement tells you all you need to know.

No serious GM candidate takes this job with how things are being run.

Same nonsense as last year with the medical team. Fires the top guy, keeps his staff, similar results.

I don't get it. We don't have a GM or a manager but were locking in on field coaching staff for the next manager. Crane still doesn't get it.

Almost sounds like they offered Lopez the manager job but told him it wont be offical until GM is official. What an assbackwards way to do business.
