    There is absolutely no hustle or sense of urgency in these guys now.

    At least Javier had a good game.
    That's encouraging

    I keep going back to the early season game they lost in extra innings when the score was tied and Dusty could've easily had Hensley bunt over the guy on 2nd with no outs and then have Dubon win the game with a sac fly.

    Instead he let Hensley swing away and fail to advance the runner, Dubon flied out(in what would've been the game winner had Hensley bunted), and the Astros lost that game.

    That's a microcosm of this entire season. Dusty is horrible at in-game strategy whether it's using his bullpen or manufacturing runs.
