    Why not start Javier in the 5th Dusty? It was a winnable game.

    He has no idea where the ball is going, as usual.

    Astros playing uninspired baseball and losing to a crap team.

    has this happened before?

    Not our run differential !

    getting creamed sucks .

    let’s hope we can get lucky and rangers start giving us easy outs

    Dusty quit on this game when he ran Greinke back out...might as well leave Abreu in to take the beating and eat an inning or 2.

    Asking for this team to amount another comeback? This ain't 2017 or 2019.

    Abreu ends any hope of winning this. Dusty needs to go after 2021.

    Bryan Abreu is never the answer. He's the 2021 Josh James.

    We’re going to be forced into giving up on Abreu (he’s really forcing the issue with his lack of command), -and he’ll reestablish himself in a couple years a la Cicneros on DET.

    Dusty is just helping the team by adding some external pressure

    I’m sure he will use Javier in these situations in the playoffs:)

    Battled a tough pitcher, hit into some bad luck, finally got a couple of runs across to get within 3 with 4 innings to go...and then Dusty decided to do inexplicable Dusty things.

    ****ing infuriating.

    Javier has pitched 11/3 innings since August 20th. One outing.

    Dusty has got to get him out of there, he's liable to kill someone with his control right now.
