"Stop f****ng with the lineup" "This has to be Dusty Baker’s last season as manager" - Houston Astros fans blame loss to Texas Rangers on legendary manager Dusty Baker

The Houston Astros lost a game in extra innings against their in-state rivals, the Texas Rangers. Unlike other losses this season, Astros fans placed the blame squarely on their manager, Dusty Baker. Baker has been the manager of the Astros since 2020, and his goodwill may be running out.In this particular game, fans took umbrage with the offensive lineup that he set. Not having Trey Mancini active until an at-bat late in the game was the main sticking point. In the long run, this loss will likely not matter for the Houston Astros standings. However, the situation has turned sour amongst the fanbase with regards to their feelings for the manager.It is important to note that Dusty Baker has been away from the team due to illness, but still sets the lineup cards for each game.Papa Hawk@alexjaques5@astros Stop fucking with the lineup.
