I never said you did. Initially all I said was that they were still in first place. Then I used the example of the '89 club to show that a first place club coming off poor seasons could weather a sustained losing streak and not collapse.
-
The '89 Orioles were the perfect example to use since, as I stated, they set the record for the longest losing streak by a team in first place that retained control of first place. What happens in the next two seasons isn't relevant since the O's had no where near the farm system of the current Astro team. But...if you want an example of a young team with a history of losing starting off strong, fading, and coming back in later seasons to become a contender....I give you the current Pittsburgh Pirates.

What relevance is the six losing seasons? Is there a single player from the 2009 Astros still on the roster? (no there isn't) These kids are not hanging their heads about what happened to the 2010 team.

The '89 Orioles had the longest losing streak ever by a first place team to not relinquish first place. They didn't crumble and fall apart. (even if they did eventually finish second)

They are still in first place.

I guess it wasn't a good idea to collide with the baserunner.

I was talking about him to my fiend that is a Braves fan. He has written off the season before it started and is now hoping Nick doesn't hit a HR.
-
Nice OBP but that slugging is brutal. Have to wonder if he can maintain his walk rate.
-
I forgot the whole making no pretense of fielding a competitive teams for three seasons. And cutting payroll so deep that the Union got upset.
-
The Astros have ticked off a lot of folks with how they have engineered the rebuild. They have upset folks with how they have handled the draft, with how they have dealt with free agents and how they have approached player development. You also have "old school" folks that think the Astros have gone too far on the analytics side. And of course Weams doesn't like them.

It is going to tick off a lot of folks if they make this work.

That and Nick essentially replaced Heyward who was popular.

On the bright side, there hasn't been any issues with the fans. Right now they are just happy they have a guy batting leadoff that can get on base.

I think it is more of a case of Hart getting it wrong.

Brady and I agree with you.

I think the main reason for their success was that they skipped the kinda bad stage and went straight to worst team in baseball and stayed there awhile. It also worked well for the Rays and the Nationals. Whereas the O's lingered at the 5th-10th worst team in baseball level.
-
Maybe they keep shifting on him.

I was just playing point-counter point with you. The results thus far have been very good for Nick.
