    Well I thought last night's comeback win would get us headed in the right direction. Same old ****.

    Yes, but he's still calling the shots.

    I don't want to put too much stock into this, but aside from his first start, the pitchers blow when Vazquez catches (I know he didn't start tonight).

    Maton sucks. Also really moronic to use him there. This weak ass lineup won't even get 1 back in the bottom half, not that it matters.

    Go win tomorrow and whatever I guess, but the blown opportunities are frustrating af.

    If Yuli doesn't speak up and say he needs to sit, I won't be blaming Dusty much longer.

    Yankees are the last team that should be laughing at the Astros.

    Everyone knows the Astros destiny is to lose to another mediocre NL East team that goes on a massive tear in August and September.

    This year looks like Philly.

    Offense isn't very good, especially against great pitching in the playoffs.

    Or Seth Martinez, or Will Smith, or Rafael Montero.
    Abreu got 2 strikeouts, but, he put 2 men on, and, most importantly, allowed all 3 inherited runners to score. His job was to strand them to keep it within reach and he failed.

    Dusty loves going to Maton first. If Dusty was managing then it's likely Maton would have already been used prior to extra innings....and maybe there wouldn't have been extras.
