Montero and Pressly blew the lead. And Javier had his worst start

That's why we lost. Montero needs to not touch a mound if it's a close game


And yet you know Dusty will treat the next game like 2022, just as he has done every game to date. It worked last year and he won a ring… why are questioning him???? Dumbass Dusty.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

The Peña throwing error was a real kick in the nads.

This stretch has been brutal.

Monday cannot get here soon enough for this team.

Is the organization going to just write off this season as Dusty's farewell tour or are we going to can him and try to recover?

If we're gonna have a down year I'm gonna need the Ag's to step it up this fall.

There is no defending Dusty and all of his actions and/or inactions. If you fail to see why it took him forever to win a ring despite having managed more talented teams than anyone not wearing a Yankees uniform, you're a moron.

With Yordan out, who is going to get our one run a game now?

Hypothetical, would you rather go 0-10 in the next 10, Dusty is canned, Joe Epsada takes us on a run and we go into the Wild Card playoff with him as our manager

Or 2nd, would you rather Diaz gets forced to play, hits .565 with 5 HR and 10 RBIS in the next 10 games, we go 6-4, but of course Dusty benched Diaz as soon as Maldy is back, and we are stuck with Dusty until seasons end?
Option 1...I'm done with Dusty.
And now you know why I went with option 1.

Someone explain to be why we didn't walk the hot batter to get to a scrub catcher hitting .119.

I'll hang up and listen.
Because it would've set up a righty-on-righty matchup and put a double play in order. Can't make a sensible move in that situation

Same reason he didn't walk Judge last year in NY with a base open in the bottom of the 9th. Because he's an absolute idiot who rode the team to a ring last year.

I don't disagree. They won in spite, I mean, listen, he could keep them happy with sour patch kids and high fives or something, idk, but his game management and lines up cards are trash

We just lost in 14 innings after blowing a four run lead in regulation and three additional leads in Manfredtime to a team four games under .500 in unquestionably the worst division in baseball (as evidenced by said team being in SECOND PLACE in said division).

This is the low ebb of the season, boys. Not sure how much lower we can actually sink.

Typical season after a title. Lots of little things going wrong along with way too many injuries. Plus a sun-par Manager.

I still have game 6 from last year taped. I'm just gonna watch that from now on.


Getting heavy 2019 Red Sox vibes. If the starting pitching starts to falter then we're pretty much toast

In all seriousness - what will it take for Crane to can Dusty? We really have to sit here and watch him torpedo games all season while our championship window is still open?

Would it take us being below .500 at the ASB? Worse?

There is no scenario short of Dusty groping Mrs. Crane. Or Jim… maybe.

Right now Dubon and Alvarez are co-MVP's of this team. Can't imagine where the Stros would be record wise without the contributions from Dubon, especially when Altuve was out for the first 40 -45 games.

I think the best chance...would be if the former player "advisors" turn on Dusty. And tell Crane to sack him.

one thing about these former player advisors...they certainly are not going to blame themselves. They will find someone to scapegoat

did the Astros have a team meeting yesterday?

it looks like they had a team meeting
today's game reminds me of something Larry Dierker used to say about team meetings.

Dierker did not like team meetings. Because...he said...if the team loses again...then what?

I'm thinking Dusty pointing out that Brantley was the best off-season signing by Crane because Brantley isn't playing would do the trick.

Anyone ever been to a game at St Louis? How are the fans? I'm going to the stros game later this month, will be a good one to check off my baseball bucket list.

Pretty apparent Dusty rode this team to postseason success and a title in spite of his deficiencies. Not sure if management has the balls to can him.

Yes - stadium is pretty cool but it's hot. I'm not a big fan of the city… be careful waking around at night.

This team as currently constructed is a wild card team.

We need 2 big moves at the deadline

I'm just as frustrated as everyone else, but I'm telling y'all… there's still what, 98 games left? We're 36-28. Help is coming at the deadline. Get into the playoffs and it's a brand new season. We'll be okay. Remember- baseball is one of the ugliest marathons in the world.

I want to agree. But how many games will Dusty lose for this team out of those 98? 2?, 5?, 10?
