….and the defending World Series Champions end their road trip with a 6-3 record. Alvarez and Altuve may both be healthy for the next series. Astro have been doing very well. I’d like to see any other

Chas needs to be starting everyday and Meyers needs to be sent down.

I’m sure this has been talked about, but I’m not going back and reading 14 pages. Martín Maldonado is the worst hitter in franchise history. If not of all time in the MLB. This guy doesn’t need to see the field ever. 

dude brings no tangible skills to the table. He’s fat, slow, can’t hit, arm strength is average at best. 

I get the pitchers say they like him behind the plate, but other than game planning what does this fat boy bring to the table? Literally nothing.

Good old boy only goes so far in sports. One has to produce on the field.

I’ve always been a Dusty defender, but I don’t think I can do it anymore. He tinkers with the lineups way too much; keeping the better bats on the bench way too much. Absolutely cannot be doing that this late in the season during a division title race this close. 

There has been alot of talk about that. Keeping Chas out of the game for a platoon being the most recent.

Chas should be an everyday player. He has excellent defense and is probably the most clutch hitter we have. Likewise, Yainer Diaz should be in the lineup daily. The weakest link in today's batting lineup is Jose Abreu.

Our biggest overall problem right now seems to be starting pitching.

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.

      Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
