Terrible by Tuck and Chas

Tuck not being able to elevate on a 2-0 count was pretty bad. Chas watching two strikes to swing at one he couldn't touch with a ten ft pole was nice way to end it.

I'm a firm believer that's been the story of Dusty's career....only the 2022 'Stros were able to overcome all of his shortcomings to get him the ring.

Dusty had two critical PH spots and didn't use them

Offense did it's job. Pressly and Montero gave up 5 runs. That's where the blame lies

Pathetic pitching display by the bullpen. Nobody wants this damn division

I think he would have been out by a mile.

I've got a lot of complaints but I think that was the right call.

I think it is time to make the switch at closer. July, August, and September pressly has an era over 4. It's over 7 the last 30 days.

I dislike Dusty as much as the next but he put in his closer with a 2 run lead… and we had a runner on 3rd with 1 out with two of our best hitters up. That's on the players

I'll give the O's credit, they're a good team and have that never say die attitude we have had the last few years. I didn't expect us to sweep, but we need the next two. Can't keep counting on other teams to lose every day.

Your AL West leader is now 38-38 at home. Chances are good they will finish below .500 this year.

Ugh.

Sure would have been nice to have 2.5 on both competitors for the division

Should have been easy with 2 runs and our closer on the mound
You use the term "closer" very loosely

You could argue in the 7th, against the top of the order, it would make sense to use your other extremely high leverage guy instead of a guy who struggled very badly early in the year but seemingly had gotten it together.

They scored 2 in the 7th. Would have rather had Abreu I and used Montero in the 8th.

But it's getting to the point that even I, a guy who hasn't cared much about lineups, am getting frustrated seeing Dubon in CF on JV days.

"That's just baseball sometimes."

"Suck it up, bleeders."

"This happens to all teams sooner or later."

Does that cover the cliche responses defending this kind of crap?

disagree his call not to send Myers but guaranteed he'll go full jimbo in the presser and blame the players

That was the O's revenge game for the Tucker slam.

Yes, it sucked. Get'em tomorrow.

You make him throw Jake out at home. It isn't a force play, so any throw off line scores the tying run. Put the pressure on them instead of playing conservative in that spot.

This...and I blame Dusty for playing with fire with Montero and a lot of other things but what else is new. It will be interesting to see if Pressly is tipping and I sure hope he is and that is a quick correction.

This season has been such a freaking rollercoaster, I'm not sure my heart can take it.
