    I have never seen a professional manager completely **** up a bullpen like I've seen Dusty do.

    It's mindboggling how it just happens over and over and over.

    Even as a team that had almost no quality depth of everyday players, we traded away Straw and Toro so we wouldn't have to use guys like Blake...and yet.....

    I always though Lunhow would eventually implement an iPad to manage the team. That would obviously be stupid, but still probably an upgrade here.

    We can only hope.

    It's almost like he is sabotaging our season on purpose.

    Is James Click throwing a massive fit or is he already past that and calmly talking with candidates?

    And now watch him pitch two innings because he hasn’t pitched in awhile…. Just idiocy.

    Dusty plays the wrong cards again. He has the mentality of we still have 43 games left, instead of winning all 43 games. The Stros need to carry him instead of him guiding the Stros.

    Exactly. It’s literally the #1 job of a manager in any game.

    if he doesn’t know how to do it, he should let somebody else make the call.

    Biggio or Bagwell would be a better manager at this point. All kidding aside, good luck firing an African-American manger in the middle of a pennant race. Stephen A Smith and media will eat our franchise alive. We’re ****ed this year.

    It must be demoralizing to have your manager constantly pull the wrong levers.

    It's so frustrating because it seems like the Astros are very good, but could be great if their manager wasn't such a dunce sometimes...

    You should never assume Graveman gives up anything or that Dusty has the correct pitcher on the mound.

    If Graveman pitches the 8th then he should have just started him in the 7th.
