    How can this team be so inconsistent at the plate? I get not scoring 10 a game but this is nut cutting time and we can barely muster competitive ABs, forget actually scoring runs.

    Is that what he did?

    One-pitch outs and lollygagging. Astros appear demoralized.

    Chas with the leadoff walk.

    Gotta steal here, but be smart.

    Score a run and reenergize the team.

    Does Dusty do anything? Could he not call a hit and run, since this team has a propensity to hit ground balls lately? Do something you old ****!

    Slumps happen. Slumps are more frustrating when the manager doesn't play his best players together often such that the games of the slump are more important.

    Your lack of understanding context is not your fault. You just don't know any better.

    Matter of fact, my entire point hasn't even been about Dusty

    It's the fact that yall give him all the blame

    I mentioned the rest of the team because they have been struggling offensively.

    This is about the entire team as a whole. From managing, from pitching, from the bats

    It's problems everywhere but yall pick on Dusty when he's probably done a better job than last season dealing with all the injuries

    At some point, you have to hold the players accountable. But u choose not to. There's no excuse for 1 run in 20 innings.

    Now shut the **** up

    Wouldn’t play Dubon over Brantley. Lefties included.

    Was that Dubon caught stealing yesterday with Maldy yesterday a hit and run? I don't understand anything this team does anymore.

    Here's an interesting idea. How about we set our lineup to play a big series like it's the playoffs. You know, give ourselves the best change to win and all.
