I feel like there are 12 year olds that play MLB The Show that can manage a team better than Dusty

it's not hard to manage baseball at any level as long as you don't have to coach hitting/pitching mechanics.

Our Vets could have player coached us to the couple World Series during Dusty’s tenure. He was hired as a stop gap and it’s lasted 3 years too long. Shoulda been one and done.

There's our money well spent. Those unclutch outs aren't cheap you know. 
Nobody on this team is clutch except big swinging dick Yordan

Don’t pinch hit with 3 catchers and Diaz on the bench but do it with two catchers and Diaz at DH. Unbelievable.

And now we have no DH

We're not going to get back to that spot anyway

#10860

If we do get to the 9 spot with 2 outs and the tying runs on base, will Dusty pinch hit with Altuve, Meyers, or Kessinger?

Yeah and even if we do who cares....people complaining about nothing. Its called more PH's

Yeah, do you want him to let Maldy hit?

this roster sucks. Pitching has held us up, the slightest dip and we’re toast

if We go into sell mode, we have valuable pieces

And I'm near the point of just saying fuck it. Sell, sell, sell. Build up again for next year.

Is there any chance of that happening?

Tonight guaranteed a losing month.  Team completely lost its mojo with Yordan going down, and has felt low energy since the Garcia injury.   Not giving up on the season yet.  There’s a lot of ball left to play, but Dusty and the front office have to stop managing for October now.   That luxury is gone.

No because that would be dumb.  

I think it depends on what things look like in a month from now when we're days away from the trade deadline. 

#10873

What I now fear is a sudden head-fake "rally" that leaves the FO thinking we're still good enough to win another title. Short of a miracle, we're clearly not. Not even another Astros tombstone headline or glove burial will fix this.

Fuuuuck. I don’t care if Cards fans were amazing hosts and we had a great time at the game. Fuck em, Astros need to get their shit straight. Gaaaaah.

Rangers will shit the bed at some point. Hopefully we have a good few weeks when that happens. Angels are the Angels. But no doubt, at BEST we are sweating out a division title or wild card in September.

The Rangers are better than we are.

Yup. And this has been fairly obvious since April. I do think their pitching is going to regress a bit, but their lineup is legit.

The problem is they've been shitting the bed this month as well and we've wasted that opportunity and allowed them to increase their division lead.

I’ll still take our roster at full strength/health. Problem is we won’t see that this season. 

#10884

We've been bit hard by the injury bug this season.  Altuve, Yordan missing significant time; Brantley missing all the time.  Bregman and Abreu underperforming.  Montero turning into a pumpkin after he got his money.  Losing two starting pitchers (three if you count McCullers)...  We are probably exactly where we should be given all of that.  With Urquidy, Altuve, Yordan and Brantley back, I think we're a contending team.

#10886
Dana didn’t sound optimistic about any outside help arriving anytime soon. Nothing available at the moment. Boys need to step game up. 
No but at least he is aware what needs to be got.

I am curious how far the White Sox blow it up

Other teams have asked about our top prospects, some are very unreasonable 

the ‘shelves’ are bare and what’s there, the asking price is high. Lot of teams still in it 

#10888

Question - will Yordan and brantley be in the line up every day ?

brown - nope. Season is a marathon. Get healthy and then chip away at the rangers lead. We don’t need guys out of gas in sept. Braves were down 10 games and ran down the Mets. Don’t panic

His experience with the Braves in 2021 will probably frustrate a lot of fans.

Move stanek, bring up a too young arm

we need to keep Maton, but move him and repeat with a young arm 

both those moves for prospects 

get healthy 

make a run

It is hard for me to take Brown seriously though when he keeps pimpin Brantley non stop.

I predicted last July that Brantley was done playing MLB period.  Hope I'm wrong.  It was 12M well spent for sure though.  Who could have seen this coming.  Again, hope I'm wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. Won't be the last.

IF he thinks that's getting duplicated again it will probably frustrate him.  That kind of shit is historic for a reason and counting on that to happen, quite frankly, is stupid.  

I choose, for my own sanity, not to believe he means the things he says that are stupid are actually his opinion, he's just throwing it out there as fan service.  Hope I'm correct on that.

Move meyers too, if he has any value. His spot is replaceable

Him not being in AA or AAA this week is worrisome

Him being old AF and broken in the shoulder worries me more.

Atlanta traded for an entire new outfield that year.  Filling 2 or 3 holes in the lineup makes a rather large difference.

Right . And if my aunt had balls, she’d be my uncle.
