    Maybe I don't know **** about baseball, but don't other teams bring in shut down guys late in the game?

    I guess the glass half full view is extra innings gives me a chance for more Bregman points in my playoff fantasy matchup?

    Why is this 5.00 era mf'er being put in high leverage situations over and over again?

    Toothpick blows the lead again, 2 days in a row. He doesn't know when to pull and push his pitchers. I can't freaking believe he wore a California flag mask couple days ago while wearing the Astros uniform.

    Yainer Diaz and getting Meyers/McCormick more playing time was why Straw was traded.

    You guys act like Dusty has a stack of elite relievers in the pen. Stanek was going to pitch the 8th and Pressly the 9th if they held the lead.

    So Maton blew it. Who did you want? Yimi? Raley? Taylor? Graveman threw 30 pitches yesterday so is likely unavailable.

    Click gave him an awful bullpen and his moves at the deadline are floundering as well. Dusty and Strom can't turn crap into gold.

    Yeah, I don’t think there were too many options at that point. Might have made more sense to let Javier try to finish the inning.

    Well, Kyle Tucker has certainly been worthless today.

    Tuckers last couple of at bats were rough.

    Dusty doesn't know Castro is our best hitter in close and late situations
