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.

Getting out managed at EVERY single turn. Amazing this team is where it is.
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.txag614 said:

But who's fault was not sending Meyers?? You put in your fastest player for times like that!!

Tonight's loss is on them
Bro Tucker was 2-5 with a triple and an RBI.
Dusty had two critical PH spots and didn't use them

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

There is so much more to it and you know it.

**** him for not sacrificing that run in anyway, don't give a **** if he scored all 7 runs tonight himself
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.
Took the L without Brantley or Diaz leaving the bench.
I can't stand Pressly…
The list of things I hate about the 2023 Astros is surpassing the list of things I like about them
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
Just not our night .. Presley lost us the game ..gotta regroup and keep grinding tmrw
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.

Diversity hire
Time to move Neris to closer
Also, one day closer to Dusty no longer being our manager.

He looks injured
He's shaking his elbow out after every pitch
Your AL West leader is now 38-38 at home. Chances are good they will finish below .500 this year.
You use the term "closer" very looselyFrioAg 00 said:
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 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.

Well don't we sure wish now we had tried to find out.
"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
****** couldn't win with barry ****ing bonds that should tell you everything
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.tjack16 said:

This season has been such a freaking rollercoaster, I'm not sure my heart can take it.
Picked the wrong time of year to just be in an all out funk.
