It was the same motion of him stepping off. So yes.

Say what you want about the balk, but the bullpen giving up 4 runs to even allow that to be the game winner is terrible.

Forget trades, this team desperately needs an exorcism.

The fact they showed the umpire walking off rather than the team at the end says all you need about MLB umpires. That guy is so proud of himself right now

Abreu needs to be batting 8th or 9th.

Stop trying to make him a thing and kill any kind of momentum and rally we have

Maybe he'll start doing better lower in the order where he belongs

That's why you've got to step on their throats earlier. Bases loaded and one out. Double play. That seems like the Astros this year…

Crane said one ring was good enough. Good for him. Good job.


Nah. He committed 100 M in the offseason. His head got too damn big and he thought he knew better. He clearly did not.

Guys, we're just a bad team this year. Not sure how much more I can try and convince myself otherwise.

13 hits to 5.
Up 4 runs in the 7th inning.

And we lost. We suck so much it's incredible. Only dusty baker could turn a World Series championship team into this.

Fired a competent GM just to give too much money for a reliever and a year too many for an aging 1B.

Just frustrating.

Dusty was already the worst manager in Astros history, but he may be the worst manager I have ever seen in my lifetime

The guys on this team think they're king $#!+ after waltzing to the ALCS 6 years in a row. They're getting a reality check this year. If anything, i hope this season breaks up any complacency they might have and serves as a wake-up call.

Gameday says Dusty just got tossed...the man has a pulse.


It's too late. And only because Stanek did first.


We all know Dusty would never have stepped on the grass if Stanek didn't get tossed.

Abreu was a guy they desperately wanted when he was signing in 2013, but they couldn't work out a deal. This to me reeks of a "he was good back then and he's available now, lets go get him". His regression last year should have been a warning. I'm by no means a Yuli guy, but we could have done better than Abreu. We should have let someone else make that mistake.

Funny thing is, the team isn't as bad as the record. We keep putting call-ups into high leverage games, and leave guys like Dubon and McCormick on the bench. Julks gets every chance in the world to play daily get into a groove, but Diaz, McCormick, Meyers and Dubon get a couple of hits and get rewarded with a bench day. Montero keeps getting trotted out to the mound in leverage situations, and is serving meatballs. Pitcher walks 3 straight--Dusty leaves him in for a 4th batter.

I get this isn't a 110 win team, but I'd venture to state that Dusty has cost ~4 wins this year compared to an average manager. That puts us right at/near the top of the west.

Bad team is bad. Bad teams find ways to lose games.

They were up 7-3. Maton serving up the homer, Julks GIDP, Dusty leaving Bryan Abreu in, Jose Abreu batting cleanup to ground into that last DP, it all adds up before you even get to the ump screw job.

They lose when they don't score and they lose when they do. Just bad.

I think four wins is a legitimate underestimate.
