    He’s an incredible player but it makes you wonder how he’s not grabbing a bat there and telling Dusty I don’t care what you say…I’m hitting here.

    Unless once again they were just lying about him “being better today and hopefully playing tomorrow”.

    I don't care if Yordan has 1/2 of a hand and bones sticking out of his ankle...

    It's mother****ing criminal Dusty bullshit for him to not PH there and send up Julks instead

    I'm not exactly sure why, but I'm extra bitter after this loss.

    Oh my Goodness. I was playing catch up all night ...Yordan really did have a mishap at his house with a door...I thought it was a joke.

    With the way he's been struggling. I bet that door is nothing more than a fcking excuse. Yordan has still been hurt for awhile.

    Dusty has straight up said he gives an extra day of rest to any player they are ready after an injury.... regardless of severity...

    But isn’t it Verlander who wants Dubon and Maldy in there?

    1st Place is the Astros Kryptonite and Astros Players constantly are getting injured or sick .

    I do not believe the door thing. Something else is going on. We are definitely being hustled.

    A few have said it already but this is the least clutch team we’ve seen from this franchise in what feels like a decade. Just god awful in extra inning games. Inability to capitalize on division/playoff seeding. Boneheaded mistakes at crucial junctures. Probably the worst defensive team we’ve fielded in a good while.

    What tf is going on?

    I have noticed Joe Espada sitting next to Dusty in Game 2 that Joe is telling Dusty.

    Joe Espada really is the Leader, Dusty did say Joe Espada is the one who organizes.

    It’s obvious that many losses this year are on Dusty. Sometimes I wonder if he is even thinking straight ! I mean like tonight putting in a guy who is 1-40 was he expecting a miracle and crossing his fingers?

    I felt this was the L of this series with Urquidy pitching. Astros need to come out and take care of business tomorrow. With all the games the team and it's manager has pissed away this season, margin of error is razor thin.

    More likely that, instead of a joke, it’s a straight up lie.

    Yeah...he has not been setting the woods on fire lately but I'd take a blindfolded one armed Yordan as opposed to Dubon and Julks...Julks, my goodness.

    That’s the $64,000 question. I wish I knew

    Joe Espada really is the Leader, Dusty did say Joe Espada is the one who organizes Spring Training. I have noticed Joe Espada has more advance Charts, Scouting Notes. Dusty is clueless what Analytics is.
