    Yeah keep telling yourself it's fatigue.

    If you say it enough, it will become truth.

    Montero career 4.78 era (before tonight) and a -0.3 WAR (not a typo). Was never supposed to be our second best relief pitcher and setup man, and hopefully Dusty has enough sense to realize the fantasy is over for him. Warning: Dusty will continue to use him as if he's not totally become dismantled.

    If he keeps getting bad outings, he won't even a part of the playoffs.

    Let's give Seth Martinez in the 7th/8th role when Sept rolls around. See if he can do the high leverage situations.

    A perfect example of why the 2022 Astros are actually built to dominate the post-season moreso than the 2017-2019-2021 teams.

    Of course fatigue is a large part of it. It's the last week of ****ing August.

    Let him work on his confidence in the minors for a week or two. If he’s got his stuff then he should dominate down there.

    He has no options so he can't be sent to the minors.

    I guess you are referring to my post. Let me clarify. I actually said it BEFORE he gave up a run.




    So there!

    Its late August. Were still winning. Winning a lot.

    The bullpen has been a mess as of late, but again, its August.

    But come October, I sure hope they look a lot better.

    Our bullpen is the least used in MLB, they should not be struggling this much.

    Like I said, keep convincing yourself that's all it is. Ignore the career numbers.

    Exactly.

    People ain't making much sense up in here.

    Montero has 51 IP, come on man, that's nothing. On pace for 63.

    What about that kid tossing smoke at AAA?

    Bring him up in September for middle relief?

    We need to IL some relievers to give them some time off and call up Pardes, Martinez, and Mushiniski.

    Looking at the stats, DD is correct...Astros bullpen has pitched the fewest of all other team, by almost 30 innings.
