On September 1 , 2014 –The Astros fire manager Bo Porter and bench coach Dave Trembley, even though the team has already passed last year’s total of wins; the firing is the result of a power struggle over personnel moves with GM Jeff Luhnow.
Tom Lawless is named the interim manager. Despite a 110-190 record (.367) in less than two years, Porter had seen his club win more in five months of 2014 than they had the entire 2013 campaign.
