If not Diaz, you could have had Brantley pinch hit and then replace him with Diaz defensively

Middle of our lineup is putting up a big fat 0 in the hit column. Not going to win a lot of games that way.

Maldonado was 1 for 1 with a walk going into the at-bat. If you want to ***** about something, ***** about Bregman Tucker, Abreu and McCormick being a combined 0-11 tonight.
Why not both? Maldy isn't the reason we are losing, but him batting there after Breg, Tuck, Abreu and Chas have already gone 0-11 does not give us the best chance to win tonight.

Sears is a pitcher that Yordan and Tucker should have crushed. Slower throwing lefty.

While I overall agree with your point about Yordan, Bregman, Tucker, and Abreu not taking advantage of their opportunities, it IS frustrating that a guy hitting like a pitcher is up in that situation when runs or a rally are needed.

To be fair…

Abreu should be nowhere near the middle of a lineup

Yep, this board wants to be all mad at Dusty, but the team is playing like crap. Especially our big boys

And the Astros leave themselves for dead the moment they play a sub-.500 team at home.

yes, in Maldy's first at-bat he walked...which is okay...

but fouled off a couple of 93 mph fastballs...that a better hitter takes into the gap or over the fence

The line between knowledgable baseball fans and insolent yammering idiots gets clearer and clearer the deeper you go into a season.

Really, Parker in down 3 in the 8th in a game you need.

Yikes.

And he doubled himself off of first with a RISP in one inning and swung at ball 3 for an out without advancing the runner in another. The guy is hitting .170 with an OPS of .507 against RHP and his replacement on the bench is hitting .318 with a .961 OPS against RHP. Yeah, no reason at all to consider pinch hitting for him…. Sigh.

Dusty concedes losses when trailing by 3 or more after 7.

I mean we know Dusty doesn't care I mean he's got the other random guy warming up in the bullpen. Just conceding the game at this point

Nothing has indicated this team will score again tonight, much less four times. Since salvaging tomorrow is really important if you like having a share of the division lead, may as well save the leverage arms I suppose.

It can be both. The players can be laying goose eggs and the manager can suck.

I don't disagree, but even someone like myself who has pretty much defended Maldy getting playing time is finding it harder to defend when you look at the fact Yanier could be in the middle of a ROY race if he had more ABs.

Chas could have 25+ HRs if he played regularly over Julks to star the season.

This team needs to win games now and the best players aren't regularly playing. I'm beginning to have a problem with that.
