September 1, 201411 yr Shocked is too strong a word here, this was more like a mercy killing! He was in over his head from the moment he got the job. I really think Bo should go down and get some of that minor league seasoning, not sure that will happen now that he's been a big league skipper,
September 1, 201411 yr Shocked is too strong a word here, this was more like a mercy killing! He was in over his head from the moment he got the job. I really think Bo should go down and get some of that minor league seasoning, not sure that will happen now that he's been a big league skipper, Edwin Rodriguez went and managed a team in AA after he managed us.
September 1, 201411 yr I think it's stupid that they fired him. What was he supposed to do with that garbage roster?
September 1, 201411 yr Well, I guess it makes sense in that case. Seriously though, that's a terrible roster.
September 1, 201411 yr As much as the Astros couldn't have won even with Manager of the Year Mike Redmond at the helm, Bo Porter was pretty bad and above all, pretty stupid.
September 2, 201411 yr I miss Edwin sometimes. I never disliked him. I think I remember people on here hated how he managed the bullpen if I'm not mistaken.
September 2, 201411 yr I think it's stupid that they fired him. What was he supposed to do with that garbage roster? I mean... I think it's stupid that they hired him.
September 2, 201411 yr His suckiness aside, this looks to be more of a case of a disagreement with the front office than anything else. In his defense, Luhnow did say this had nothing to do with the team's record, which could be a generic PR-type of line but also makes sense considering his firing at this point of the season.
September 29, 201411 yr AJ Hinch is replacing Bo. I haven't stopped laughing since I heard the news. Im on the brink of literally running out of tears. It must suck to be an Astros fan. They went from turd A to turd B as manager.
October 6, 201411 yr I can't believe people keep giving this man a job. And considering how his Astros tenure ended I'm shocked he was given any major league job so quickly. Especially the Braves who are trying to reshape some things. You don't reshape things with Bo Porter.
