    Haha dumbass Dusty calls for a double steal in a game in which we are finding it really difficult to get men on in the first place.

    You can't make this shyt up.

    Seriously what is wrong with Dusty? That to me is the basics of baseball ! You have two on with your best hitter at the plate and a super slow runner at 2nd and you double steal?

    Maybe they should just get back on the road. Lately the offense at Minute Maid has been putrid

    If you are desperate enough to try a double steal….. perhaps don’t start an over the hill Gurriel or a never was like Dubon.

    Vasquez has 1 SB on the season and still does. 28 for his career. Dumb Dusty.

    Some of this is on Click. He didn’t learn with Straw…. Dusty always picks a player or two that are not big league hitters and plays them…. They got rid of Straw and bring in Dubon…. Smart.

    Javier 24 IP 4 ER, 25K

    Dusty brilliantly decides to upend that fantastic streak of starting pitching by moving him to the bullpen temporarily:

    Since then 12 IP, 6 ER (8 runs total)


    Good going Dusty.

    It's like they're not even wanting to win these games. Just going through the motions doing ish you would do in spring training

    We bombed him last month. He's pitched a couple of good games vs CWS and MIN (this is his 5th MLB game). Former 1st round pick.

    I wouldn't call him a no-name, but that doesn't excuse the craptrain that is the Stros offense tonight.
