Can't blame this on Dusty - this is a decent lineup.

May as well talk about Shohei.

1. How much money has he lost this last month?
2. Who is going to sign him?

I bet he's lost $150MM. someone will pay him $350 but no one is paying $500 anymore.

That never plays the same positions or bats in the same order or with the same players twice.

Of course this is in him as well.

This team looks mentally and physically exhausted.

If you didn't know their record you would have them pegged as a team playing out the string and headed to an Oct 2 tee time.

All we have is the Guardians and the Dodgers, again.

Dude, it's not about one game. It's about the 20 games he's given away throughout the season by not putting out the best lineup available, thereby maximizing the chance to win each game. Nearly 130 different lineup combinations! That is INSANE! How can you expect them to have any consistency whatsoever?

Sucks we had to run into the juggernaut that is the A's and Royals. Wish we had an easier schedule

With the injuries this season shifting things he's just increased the chaos and disorder instead of doing things to get the team comfortable and in a rhythm

Tuve leading off...check, he normally does that
Breggy batting second...check, he hit 2nd quite a bit this year
Yordan third...yep, he's been doing that a lot
Tucker fourth....

End of the day, these are major league hitters.

And, you have to tip your cap to their guy. He was AL pitcher of the month in August and has only allowed a couple of earned runs his last four starts or something ridiculous like that

You think we should be at 103 wins right now?? That Dusty has held us back that much? That this team would project to win over 110 games this year, be better than last year if we only had a good manager?

20 games is dramatic but to say he hasn't cost us at least 5 would be foolish. Just by playing the best 9 guys 4/5 games we would be in first by at least 4 games

No way that Dusty's lineup bingo hasn't cost this team 10 wins this season.

What is Peña doing? We are killing ourselves. May as well pour gasoline on ourselves and light a match.

This backup catcher seems decent. Maybe we should get him more playing time?

Altuve has one job here. Can he get it done?

And the answer is a big fat "no".
