    He should have left last year, the team would be better off.

    Will there ever be a more hated manager in Astros history?

    Most folks that post in this forum are knowledgeable baseball fans. Unfortunately, I think most casual baseball fans see Dusty as a hero and knowledgeable baseball savant. I get mostly feeds from the opposing team’s broadcasters and all of them have slobbered all over themselves in praise for Dusty.

    Not even close to me. Baker took a Lamborghini and intentionally drove it off a cliff. Porter and Collins took mediocre to horrible situations and didn't make them better or worse.

    The day Dusty is gone, I'm opening the autographed bottles of his wine.

    I still don't think Dusty is gone after the season, even if the 'Stros miss the playoffs.

    I’m no diehard for dusty, in fact I think he needs to go… However, the truth is this season we’re just not as good as last year. Not even close. Oh well. We had a good run. There’s always next year.

    No way. That would cause a revolt. Hopefully.

    Not everyone feels the hate.
    Dusty has a ton of supporters.

    It’s time to move on from Dusty. Thanks for the WS and be done with it.

    This has happened on every team Dusty has managed.

    "Then, as the Reds drifted, then nose-dived late in the year, Baker insisted there was no need for urgency."
