At least Bielak continues to look decent. Also, bringing in a ROOGY like Smith to face a switch hitter was a bit curious of a decision by Dusty.
Sigh...it's going to hurt having to play a guy like Toro most days with the current circumstances. He had to play too much last year as well.
He did however step all over his dick. What a ****ing pitiful AB. eta: Tucker has left 6 runners on base tonight.
Literally every team, every year goes through these stretches, but Dusty's use of the bullpen deserves scrutiny. Joe Smith should be set adrift on an ice floe.
Scrutiny is cool, Joe Smith may be done, but the Stros have scored 2-3-2-2-3 (so far, this is where it all turns around!) runs in the last 5 games, and the starting pitching has given up 23 runs in 22.2 IP (handful are inherited by the pen). Not a recipe for success.
