Thank you Dusty. Always be my favorite. @astros ⚾️🧡4 Incredible seasons. #Ready2Reign #MLB

Well that was a nice shoutout win against a rival. 💪🏻 #ChasetheFight

@butsefal7 @HalosMatt @caribelli You e never been more wrong in your life. Championships last FOREVER buddy.

@Scelsa @HalosMatt @caribelli This was like 20 years ago, before the iPhone was released. Doesn’t mean anything now

Is there anything worse than being an Anaheim sports fan???

The Ducks are ridiculously young. Carlsson: 21 Gauthier: 22 Sennecke: 20 McTavish: 23 McQueen: 19 Lacombe: 25 Mintyukov: 22 Moore: 23 Zellweger: 22 Luneau: 22 Solberg: 20 Dostal: 25 Tons of growth in a short period, and there's more help on the way. The future is bright.

@rationalyankee If 2/3 of the league wasn’t trying to cheat as well and the RedSox didn’t win a World Series the year after with Apple Watch’s. ⌚️ You might have more of a point.

Altuve was the face of the 2017 Astros. He sat in that clubhouse every night, watched teammates bang trash cans, won an MVP and a ring off the back of it and said nothing. For years. Not until reporters dragged it into the light. “Innocent” is a word you use for a kid who didn’t know what was happening. Altuve knew. He profited. He stayed quiet. Altuve let the entire sport eat the consequences while he kept the trophies. I don’t think he gets enough criticism for it. He’s still likely to get into the HOF. I don’t think any player, manager or coach from the 2017 Astros should be allowed to even buy a ticket to the HOF, let alone get inducted into it.

Dusty Baker appeared on Matt Barnes' "All the Smoke" podcast and defended Jose Altuve, who still gets booed on the road because of the Astros' sign-stealing scandal. bit.ly/4tA4vSK

Dusty Baker and it’s not even close.

So can we talk about Cory coming home next year now? #Flytogether (& retiring 10 & 15 while we’re at it) @AnaheimDucks 👀

With a much Younger team tho💪🏻

The Future is VERY Bright in Anaheim. #FlyTogether

@HalosMatt @caribelli I was in Grade 9. Ducks Tee next day at school 😂👊🏼🦆

@Scelsa @caribelli I was 3 yrs old dude doesn’t count

@HalosMatt @caribelli Brother I live in Toronto, we got Grandparents who haven’t seen a cup in this city.😂

No matter what happens here, this team outperformed any expectation I had for them in 2026. This entire year felt a year early for where the development was. All it’s gonna do is help build this team for the future. They ain’t goin anywhere anytime soon. #FlyTogether

Never a better time than now. Go Get it #Flytogether

@AstrosOptimism2 Hey at least I won’t be called a Bandwagon fan anymore. Picked a team I didn’t even know existed, as my favorite, after watching them lose the World Series. 🤷🏻 Then fell in love with the team & Sport. Silver linings I guess..😂 #Stros4Life (still blaming most of 26 on injury’s)

2011 Astros team ERA - 4.51 (56-106) 2012 Astros team ERA - 4.56 (55-107) 2013 Astros team ERA - 4.79 (51-111) 2026 Astros team ERA - 5.59 (???)

I hope every fan of the Houston Astros is now able to realize just how special of a human being Dusty Baker is and how BLESSED we were to have him lead our guys at that time…I genuinely have love in my heart for Dusty. He transcends the sport to me in a lot of ways.

Former Astros Manager Dusty Baker spoke on Jose Altuve and the Astros cheating scandal, via the @allthesmokeprod “You know the guy who took the brunt of it was really Jose Altuve, and he was really the most innocent dude there. That really affected me, how he was treated and he didn’t deserve it.”

Fuck not good. #flytogether

There is no unluckier team in baseball the past two years than the Houston Astros 2025: 39 IL stints. 1,800 games lost. The MOST in history in a single season 2026: 16 IL stints already. Pitching in crisis mode What is going on?! Full convo (8:46 in): youtu.be/I3kRWTLVW6k

Now, if MLB comes down harder on the Yankees or Red Sox in 2017, does that change things? Perhaps. Maybe the Astros are scared straight. But let’s remember: Manfred warned the Red Sox in 2017 after using the Apple Watch. And they won the World Series in 2018 while cheating. (7/9)
