Wait, What?

Fire the pitching coach? That’d be a dumb move. This club doesn’t need “shaking up” right now. And Dewey Robinson has been a better pitching coach than you’d think, and has been an integral part of developing the pitching program for the minor leaguers. Plus, it’s been a year since there were any rumblings about pitchers losing respect for him (and one of those guys was Brandon Backe), so it looks like he’s figured out how to relate a little bit better.

Cecil Cooper is not exactly the best manager, either from a tactical perspective or from a relationship-with-the-players point of view. But firing him right now would just be unnecessary drama that would distract the players.

I don’t understand this poll. the narrative seems to be about firing Coope and Robinson, but the actual poll question is whether Robinson should be fired.

the astros need a better farm system.

And they need to stop being so conservative during the offseason and during free agency. It’s starting to suck having to tell people i’m a lifelong astro fan. BIG PUMA, we need you to wake up your team!

Who Cares...

There is only one Houston Astros Baseball club, I dont see 29 other teams getting signed memorabilia taken up to the Hubble Telescope, Space Travel B*tches!

No

It’s not Coop’s fault.

The Astros were also too quick to fire Garner.

I agree

(but they delayed too long in firing Tim Purpura)

I agree (about NOT firing Coop)

Ive never been an overly big fan of Coop, BUT the Stros have been doing better lately, and with them right aroung .500 now would be among the worst times to fire him … i didnt say the worst, but among the worst …

and fire Dewey? The pitching has been doing really well as of late … to fire him would be to say it’s all in spite of him and I doubt that …

so I totally disagree with this poster … I also agree on Purpura..they waited way too long to get rid of him .. and fired Scrap Iron (Phil Garner) way too soon …
