San Diego Padres hitting coach Victor Rodriguez is among the finalists for Houston's hitting coach vacancy, source tells @TheAthletic. Nothing is done yet. @brianmctaggart first reported Rodriguez is in the mix.

Have also heard the Astros talked to Andy Haines, formerly of the Pirates, Brewers and Cubs. Haines and Astros manager Joe Espada overlapped in the Marlins system. No sense that it advanced any further than talks, but he is another name to monitor. https://t.co/H3VaMFAsT7

Chas ruined Chas… come on.Benny the Jet Rodriguez said:
Dusty ruined Chas. He earned the CF spot in '22, then Dusty doesn't start him until game three of the following season. I seem to recall that we wore the gold WS jerseys the first two games, neither of which Chas started in. That was pretty crappy if you ask me.

Would have been nice to be able to use Leon and Corona as throwaway pieces to balance a trade for a SP or RP with somebody.
In case anyone was wondering, Justin Verlander will more than likely be back in Houston next season pic.twitter.com/SRILkCOu1q

Ironically enough, that was when Dusty was really riding him hard and there seems to be a lot of tension. It was prime "big puddin'" time.
Almost like he worked better when he felt he had to prove himself than he did when he was playing for a good friend?
according to a source, there was real animosity between chas & dusty behind closed doors. chas was really immature & broke a lot of clubhouse rules. it got to a point where after the astros blew a game one night, chas openly questioned dusty’s decisions in front of the whole team

I think anyone giving Dusty credit for Chas is writing history.
maybe but blaming Dusty for Chas sucking the past 2 seasons is even more ridiculous…Farmer1906 said:txags92 said:Mathguy64 said:Quote:
