As horrible as this series was, I am just happy that Yordan is okay. I thought season ending injury when it happened. Big series tomorrow! LET’S GO!!!
Lmao how the **** am I making excuses when I literally agreed with him you clown. Dusty pulls the same stuff on the road and they win. They flat out can’t play at home. That’s not an excuse. That’s facts.
Players could've played better too, but when the manager constantly ignores obvious things that would maximize his players/team's outcomes.....
Sorry, you said it wouldn't have made a difference Personally, I think players make a difference. I think sitting your 4th best player twice (and pulling him in one of those) and your 5th best once in a 3 game HUGE series can make a difference. Dubon + Maldanado does not = Diaz + Chas Players matter, if not Dusty wouldn't have been a manager for 30 years
Our starters were frustrating to watch tonight. Losing all these games at home to a crappy team is sad. This should have been when they moved ahead. If we don't make the playoffs it would really be such a disappointment after winning the Championship last year.
Legit quesiton: Would you be surprised at all if the Rangers whooped our butts this series? That will be the final nail in the coffin.
Mariners won 90 last year. They'll win about the same. Rangers, I was expecting a mid 80s team. Them winning between 85 and 91 isn't that crazy a jump over expectations. The Astros got hurt, got some luck they stayed right there with Rangers, but piddled away what should still be a comfortable lead on Dusty's projector.
They can make a difference and maybe they would’ve. It would’ve been nice to find out. But all I know is, the rest of the team’s intensity, focus or whatever flat out falls off a cliff at home. Saying that if Chas and Yanier played things would be different is cute in theory. But it sure doesn’t seem like that’s all they are missing when they do just fine on the road when Dusty pulls these stunts.
Dusty pinch hits Diaz for Maldy and got a hit immediately. For an offense that has been struggling mightily, every at-bat matters. Chas might've homered in the spot Dubon hit a double play and the game may have turned out completely different. Their is ZERO margin for error.
Astros last 2 games… 0 for 1 w/RISP. I wonder if that’s ever happened before? The only RISP was the Altuve DP. Yankees bullpen 14 scoreless innings.
