Pin this one on Dusty. You can't roll out your worst two relievers in the 9th inning of a 1 run game

If it came out that Manfred placed Dusty with the Astros to lose on purpose Ted Lasso style would anyone be even a little bit surprised?

Raley and Smith both need to be cut from the team. Cy Sneed was a better option than the two of them combined. He could blow games for much less money.

When Enoli comes back, Smith needs to be done here.

I just dont still understand why we didn't just promote Espada as interim manager when AJ was suspended. Then reevaluate the situation after 2020 season

Is Pressly unavailable?

I'm wondering if that's why Stanek wasn't in.

Either way Joe Smith needs to be at home nailing Allie LaForce and nowhere near a ML mound.

Let's win tomorrow and take 2/3. Keep doing that the entire season and I'd be ok.

I used to be on board with Dusty but his bullpen management this season is truly atrocious

Smith might just be toast. Took a year off too late in his career.

Raley is not and has never been a major league pitcher. He had a few good outings for us last year and that was an anomaly. He's got a career MLB ERA of over 7 and was a below average pitcher...in Korea.

I don't hate giving him another shot after his stint last year but WTF is Dusty thinking?

Click can take control over the bullpen now by getting rid of these ****ty players. DFA Smith and Raley tomorrow and bring up anyone else so Dusty can't use them.

Go Billy Beane on him from Moneyball

The list of players who would get demoted if we had other options behind them

- Raley
- Smith
- Straw
- Tucker (this one is the only one likely to change because of what he is capable of)


Anybody I missed?

Hopefully it'll happen before the season is over. I imagine espada is the guy in waiting

I would cut Raley, his spot on the 40 man roster is more valuable than he is

So you think Dusty Baker, Myles Straw, brooks raley and Joe smith are the best options out there for us? What have any of those 4 done this season to tell you they need to be on the 2022 Astros roster?

Doesn't Strom have some of the blame too? I can't imagine Dusty making these moves without his input
