    So Chas didn’t get to play against a lefty yesterday, and was pinch hit for in the bottom of the 9th. That is…. Wow

    A ****tard geriatric manager…

    Everybody wanted Chas to hit but it's tough. The way we've handled it, the way I've handled it, Chas will thank me, the city will thank me and the organization will thank me later.

    Who is saying it was a good move???

    I still can’t fathom as to why he’s even on an MLB roster?

    We got only 1+ month to wait for Dusty to "not get extended".

    Be patient.

    That’s about as poor of a managerial decision as you could possibly make. Wow.

    I assumed Dusty wanted the LH-RHP for stat/chance purposes, but Singleton had a .417 OPS vs RHP.

    What a terrible decision and I have no doubt his perceived attitude towards Chas played a role.

    I know Chas doesn’t hit righties as well but 11 of his 19 homers are against RH pitchers. Dusty is an idiot.

    Seems like it has been mostly painful spiced with a few highlights. Astro fans have very high standards.

    I would stop worrying about Seattle and start worrying about finishing ahead of Texas or Toronto

    Dusty ain't in this to win, we have enough talent to overcome him, but it's FAR from a sure thing

    And the hilarious part is according to Blum lefties hit Holmes worst than righties. On top of Singleton being awful.

    Singleton is not an MLB hitter. No point even gathering the effort to look at his splits.

    Dusty is such a fkn idiot. I can understand hitting Altuve for Chas, but Singleton? Are you kidding me?

    His animosity towards Chas really pisses me off. Dusty’s horrible decision making has pissed away about 8-10 games this season at least. And the unearned runs are out of control.

    LOL This is the same guy who will leave in Moldy to hit in the 7th/8th/9th.

    Soft ass Houstons sports media will take whatever bullshit Dusty shoves in the post-game. God I hate the Astros reporters in this town. A bunch of lackeys.
