I'm not defending what he said or the wisdom of saying all that publicly before airing out his grievances with Dusty, Strom, and Click, but he has a point when he said "I'm glad we won because I would've been blamed for only going five innings."

He's pissed at the organization--which is obviously not ideal--but in his frustration he's taking a shot at the fans as well. This is a very bad development.

It’s ludicrous to even imply that Odorizzi’s usage is tied to contract incentives. They are in a pennant race and are going to do what is best to achieve that immediate goal. 

I'm not implying that is the reason Dusty yanks him, I'm implying that's why he is mad about getting yanked.

I want guys that don’t suck. I hated the OFO signing as pointless from the word go. Take the 20 you are going to give whatever shortstop you Shon on the market and add Odo’s 20 to it and you can bring back Correa. I’m beginning to low key hate click. 

Lots wrong here. Odorizzi was signed when it was thought that Framber would be out for, at least, the majority of the season. It wasn’t pointless at the time. Secondly, it is stupid to say that not signing Odorizzi to 3/$23M would free up the $300M needed to sign Correa.

We had 5 guys without framber. 
Every $10 million a year helps.

When you have 4 arms you trust and a bunch of guys knocking on the door you don’t have to have all 5 starters wired on opening day. We could have had $10 million in additional capital to use at the trade deadline or make a better offer to correa. 
I didn’t know Garcia would be great. But I knew we had enough options we didn’t need to do that.
