    Is there a reason we didn't pitch stanek or pressley?
    I know gravemen is on the paternity list.

    Dusty needs to go. This bullpen usage is inexcusable.

    I love that Dusty is managing these games like they don’t mean anything.

    Makes perfect sense to leave Maton in the game.

    Hey Dusty, why don't you let Altuve have a crack at finishing the 9th inning? I heard he's got a mean slider.

    We really don’t deserve the playoffs. Playing like this we’d get absolutely demolished.

    Dusty is playing for extra innings..... he isn’t playing for the win.. you have 2 closers on our team! 2!!! While you are on a 4 game losing streak and you are pitching a 5+ era reliever in this situation trying to clinch.. just stupid stupid stuff

    It is hard to remember Maton not getting touched up this season...I'm not trying to be funny.

    Experts here say you’re supposed to save them for the extra innings where the runner is on 2nd… (clown show).

    Diaz may be a worse LF than Yordan.

    Why exactly do you have Pressly if you’re not going to toss them in the 9th in a high leverage situation? We struggle all game to get hits, finally tie it in the 8th, and you bring back a guy sitting w a 4+ ERA. It’s just befuddling. What point is Dusty trying to prove?

    Why do people say this? That's the no. 1 team. Altuve had just tied it up. They just can't get out of their own way right now.

    This is also another perfect example of where Dusty is fixated on a plan… and can’t adjust.

    Maton was always going to get the 9th because of two of 3 lefties coming up. Altuve’s HR didn’t change his mindset at all. He decided not to warm up anybody after they tied the game up.

    Graveman is on Paternity leave. This board has been b****ing about not saving Pressly until the 10th inning in a tie game. So...

    Maton was perfectly predictable. That was a terrible trade.

    We are going to be playing on the road if this continues. That's some flat stupid managing right there. Truly pathetic.

    The Astros are on the verge of an epic collapse at this rate. Seattle could pull to within 3.5 games tonight.

    Yeah, but Graveman hasn't "delivered" yet
