They're doing what they should do by trading everything of major-league value for future talent, but damn it must suck to watch them every night.

Sounds similar to Rockies fans. They have a few bad seasons and all hell breaks loose. Trying having 14.Houston Chronicle: Astros test fans' loyalty, patience with dreadful run

If this is going to happen, might as well just name an interim than letting a lame-duck stay on.According to Ken Rosenthal, the Astros are going to fire manager Brad Mills after the season. Not definite.

Hearing it's a bloodbath in Houston with a bunch of scouts being told they're not being renewed for next year

Not a surprise even if they weren't losing like this. New owner --> new GM --> new scouting director. Just how it works.keithlaw

I don't know. According to some who debated the issue elsewhere, Scott Moore should have been the cleanup hitter for the Orioles much of the past five years.Weirdly enough, the Astros aren't winning with Steve Pearce and Scott Moore as their #3 and #4 hitters.

Ha!
I hope he sees this. It's honestly why I brought it up.

He's actually hitting reasonably well with a .779 OPS. Small sample size and all.
His defense has been rated as awful, though. Thus, the negative WAR. Again, small sample size.

I understand wanting a new guy in the job. However, what the HELL is the point of doing this now?

Audition for the next guy? Mills wasn't coming back, you think he wanted to stick around for another month knowing he wasn't playing for anything.And in unsurprising but still ridiculous news, the 'Stros fired Brad Mills tonight.

I got no idea if he was qualified or not. But that team simply can't win with Steve Pearce and Justin Maxwell playing such big roles for them.
It's always easiest/cheapest to replace a manager or head coach than it is to turnover an entire roster.

I can't imagine that they won't do a league-wide search in the offseason. So let Mills run out the string, don't pay two managers, and be ready to interview candidates on October 4.

Were talking about 6 weeks here. Most likely they are promoting someone within the org, so they'll get a pro-rated low-managers salary for that time.Except they ARE turning over the entire roster.

The whole roster isn't getting turned over, that's impossible. What are they promoting their whole farm system, getting international FA's, going after players in independent ball, trading all the "talent" they have? This is going to take years to rebuild. No team replaces their whole roster overnight.

The game has changed, but after seeing the '88 and '89 O's, I do believe that type of roster turnover is possible.
