    I honestly now believe he’s either incapable or out of his skull. Dusty to the media was passive aggressive regarding his choices in the BP, he finally gets help and refuses to use it correctly. Graveman is your guy there. He waited on pulling Jake and that cost us. Use your ****ing pen but FFS use it right

    By my count that's 3 runs directly on Dusty: sending Odorizzi back out in the 6th, and pitching to Perez

    Pitching to their very best hitter with two runners in scoring position and first base open is basically indefensible. I mean, damn...

    And Graveman didn’t pitch yesterday or the day before if my memory is correct. I guess he’s well rested Dusty.

    Didn’t we already do that when he pitched to Garcia in the Rangers series earlier this year?

    he’s just an awful tactician… goes with his gut… just can’t do that time and time again.

    You’re right. Analytically, there’s no way you make those decisions. He had to be playing a hunch. That’s not how this team got to be great, it got great by relying on hardcore analytics and intricate cheating schemes. We need more of those!

    We have a world series team, and we do not have a world series manager.

    League hitting .299 against the royals starter tomorrow. He has a whip of 1.61.

    so, by the rules of Astro baseball, we know we are facing Walter Johnson tomorrow.
