    When he is used correctly he is a very effective pitcher.

    Smoke and mirrors.

    A lefty with a max 90 mph fastball. Forget it. He won't be in the majors in about 3 years.

    He’d be perfect as a situational RP but the ridiculous three hitter rule is preventing that. It’s NOT speeding up games. He can be out in three years just perform now.

    Is there any Astro fan left that has a shred of confidence in Dusty come playoff time?

    Who takes out their best hitter in a tie ball game?

    Graveman is not pitching in close games with leads. I wonder about his mindset.

    Dusty must think we have a lead

    Good news is the A's are about to lose and even though Seattle has the same record we want Seattle to sweep since they have no head to head games left against us, whereas we have 6 games left vs Oakland.

    How did I know you were gonna say that?

    You're consistent and predictable, if nothing else.

    I kindly disagree. the amount of time Raley was brought in with men on 3rd or 2nd did not do him any favor or justice. He's not lights out but serviceable

    If we get out of this inning I love starting with the top of the order

    Raley is about as good as Pressly against LHB. It’s just a matter of whether he’s okay or dogshit against RHB.

    Bottom of the lineup. Clean inning. Much less challenging situation than the 10th will be.

    Can I beat the horse yet, Buck? It’s obviously alive and kicking.

    Why risk him in the field in game headed to extras? They are going to win the division.

    It reflected your comment perfectly, and frankly it was a bullsh@t comment.
