More upset with Tuck and Graveman tonight. Tuck had one long fly ball out sac fly and that's it. Sale owned him after that.

Graveman let them off the mat with that 3 run Jack. Had first and second with one out. Giving up a run in extras is fine, but can't put your team in that big of a hole late.

I haven't been impressed with Graveman

He seems to rarely have a clean inning

This is probably more accurate than whatever the pic actually was

I think I agree with whoever said we should drop a bench player and add another pitcher to the pen.

At this point Dusty is basically the 3 year old with a finger in your face saying "I'm not touching you". He's being an obtuse @$$ on purpose. "See, I pinch hit for Maldonado, but that left us in a bad position". Proving he's right is way more important than winning and he does everything in his power to prove he's right. Diaz should be chasing ROY, Chas should be looking at a 25+ HR season and chasing 100 RBI's. We should be running away with the division. You can't manage every game like it's the World Series, but he treats it like a Cactus League split squad game. So tired of it. It's almost September, we shouldn't be worrying about the stupid BS he is doing every day

Such a winnable effing game to lose.

In addition to the bonehead managerial decisions it felt like there were just poor ABs had by everyone at some point tonight.

Win a couple games and then this team looks like it wants to be bored and coast because it isn't October, imo.

You'll thank him later.

Dusty is way too focused on proving himself right and/or defending himself instead of winning games.

That sucked but We are only 1 back, 3/4 in a series makes it more easy to swallow

I think this is the most frustrated I've ever been with a sports team. And we're the defending champs! We do EVERYTHING to shoot ourselves in the dick and it might just wind up costing us the playoffs! We just GIVE games away because of our ****tard manager and his ****tarded decision making. How many games has he cost us this year? 10?

Nothing makes sense. The lineups, the roster decisions, the in-game strategy, the pitching, the phantom illnesses, the phantom injuries. ALL YEAR! And the owner enables this **** because apparently Dana can't fire the donkey.

Does Brantley really need another 3 games in SL so Dusty can satisfy his affirmative action quota and put 1-41 Julks in for the the most important AB of the game? Is Yordan really such a ***** that he can't get over a jammed finger? What is going on??

I've said this before, but if the Astros want to slam that golden window shut they just need to keep ****ing around because they're about to find out. /rant

the Astros have 34 games left in the season...

and neither Chas nor Yainer have reached 300 at-bats yet

6. Chas..........296 at-bats
7. Julks..........291
8. Machete....289
9. Yordan.......288
10. Meyers.....286
11. Yainer.......283

So when it's apparent you effed up and haven't played two productive bats enough this season you claim it's part of your master plan and whine about nobody appreciating your brilliance.

Dusty's managing like he's retiring in a couple months. The players are going to have to play like they want to repeat, Dusty is just checked out.

I bet Julks starts tomorrow. He'll be sent down after the game when Brantley is activated so this is Dusty's last chance to play him this season.

Dusty's managing like he either has a 20 game division lead or is 20 games behind.

Oof

Shohei Ohtani had imaging done and there is a tear in his UCL. Mike Trout is also going back on the IL

Angels gonna Angel

I'm not mad at Graveman. He made the pitch. It was almost 98 mph, about two or three inches inside and low. Duvall just got to it quick and dropped the bat head on it. Most of the time, the hitter would swing over that, or shatter his bat.

Tip your cap.

We shouldn't have been in that spot in the first place.

Dusty baker get the **** out of our city you ****ing piece of ***** **** you. You would be content with last years ring and not giving a **** about this year. **** YOU.

Fell asleep and it was tied. This wasn't fun to wake up to

You sound like a psychopath. Try decaf

I think about a month ago there was a smaller discussion on here about should Ohtani focus only on hitting for the rest of this season since his team is out of it. Well… I wish he had for his sake
