I hear you. But this throwing-the-closer-in-tied-games-in-the-9th thing has been bothering me for years.
I certainly don’t think Dusty is blameless in all of this, but man it’s hard to make good decisions when there’s no consistency in the bullpen outside of Presley.
Right? He's no tactical genius (wonderful man, leader, etc...), but he's been dealt a bad hand (mostly due to injury) and is doing what he can.
Astros decided to take the heat off the bullpen and turn your anger to the offense by getting shut down by a bad pitcher.
