    He was brought up for chances like that, so you want to yank him on his first big at bat? He drew a walk against that pitcher Tuesday.

    I know Yordan is frustrated with himself after this game, several missed opportunities. It’s ok, it’ll motivate him for next game

    Abreu and Chas are both out today with injuries. Singleton was the best option there.

    All things equal, that call against Meyers definitely looms large.

    Bautista better go thank Urias. That was a blown save if he doesn’t knock that down.

    I'm not here to appease an individual player, I'm here to win a game.

    But if there were no other options, then so be it.

    The Astros didn't get that extra bat - I don't blame them, some teams were stupid and decided not to be sellers.

    The point is, the Astros don't have the bats or depth in their line up to not play their best players almost every day.

    Players like McCormick, Tucker, Diaz, Bregman, Altuve and Alvarez need to be out there 95% of the time.

    If Dusty wanted to **** with Old Man Abreu or Meyers or Pena - go ahead, because they aren't all that great.

    Not sure where all the hope is coming from. Dude has always raked in AAA and sucked in the majors.

    It's hoping on a lottery ticket, because we spent some of our free agent money in the offseason on some declining stock (Abreu) and took a loss.

    I think we win that if Dusty doesn’t try to squeeze, squeeze, squeeze Hunter for another inning. Probably still could’ve won if he sat him after he gave up the first 2 hits in the 7th. But Dusty kept getting greedy.

    I totally forgot Dusty did this crap to Brown just 2 starts ago.

    The kid is coming off the mound in the 7th feeling bad.

    2 more months of Dusty, then it's adios!
