    Imagine if Framber and Javier were forced to get used to Yanier just like how Hunter Brown was forced to "get use to Maldy" in the words of Dusty during the regular season. Then, I would thank him.

    Oh I’ve moved on. So glad that idiot isn’t the manager anymore. There are also idiots here that think Dusty did a good job and they say it everyday. They haven’t moved on. I will battle those dumb phucks to the end. Dusty robbed us of a title last year. He ****ing threw it away.

    These folks that rake Espada over the coals for losing 4 straight home regular season games are the same ones that want a statue of Dusty in centerfold after losing 5 straight home PLAYOFF games and buy into all his excuses of why Chas, Yanier, and Pressly (ALCS gms 6-7) sat in favor of Julks, Maldy, and Montero.

    Might score some merch too. Worth a shot. On Blanco he's as nice as it gets. He'll be playing long toss during warm ups if he's not pitching. He'll be more than happy to do. Maybe snag a program from the game too. Cool duo to frame up.

    Well Maldy was the worst catcher in baseball (obviously not my disagreement) so there's a lot to blame there. He literally did nothing well. It's crying over something that doesn't matter

    Like the one Javier pitched?

    Damn bro you are dug in to defending anything dusty did still, seems that's the only reason you come on here is to defend a dude that is gone

    you boy maldy sure did a good job calming Framber down last year when he melted down against the rangers, right?

    I could go for a Framber 20K, no hitter tonight, and Yainer being the first catcher ever to catch a no hitter while hitting 3 homers.

    I am sure also that Maldy having all those passed balls sure calmed pitchers down and gave them confidence in their breaking balls.

    THIS

    It's not that it was all Maldy's fault that the pitching regressed last year

    It's that while the regression was happening all we would hear is how great Maldy is with pitchers and how the pitchers just had to have him back there

    All the while, they had a better ERA with Diaz catching

    The whole thing was just Bizarre and i'm glad it's over

    Well, except when scarface comes in to b**** about success that wasn't led by dusty

    Yes. I don't think he's even really an Astros fan.

    ...almost positive it hasn't been done in back-to-back games with 1 catcher either (...possibly ever, catcher aside)

    I'll just settle for Good Valdez instead of Bad Valdez.

    Hell, even Below 5 ERA Valdez would be nice.
