This game is a good example of the Astros snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Thanks to their manager. I feel bad for Urquidy. Dude pitched a hell of a game. Damnit.
I predict Montero's era will balloon to over 4.00 and Dusty will STILL be using him in the playoffs like he has a 1.68 era like the first 2/3 of the season.
Hard to believe we couldn’t get more production from Leon or well anyone instead of Dubon. Way too many sub .250 hitters in this lineup and now Tucker has joined the club.
You'd think that an "old school" manager like Baker would trust his pitchers to go deep into games. What's the point of letting Jose go 8 only to yank him after an infield hit? I'd expect a lack of confidence and 2nd guessing from AJ Hinch, not Baker.
I bet...Mancini sits, Dubon in ss, Yuli bats 2nd again, and Meyers in CF again. My guess for tomorrow's lineup: 1. Altuve (2b) 2. Yuli (1b) 3. Yordan (dh) 4. Bregman (3b) 5. Tucker (rf) 6. Diaz (lf) 7. Dubon (ss) 8. Meyers (cf) 9. Maldy (c) Forgot Dusty likes Bregman between our 2 lefties.
Dubon got that hit and made that nice play and I was like “haha he’s shooting the middle finger to CF” then he went back to the Dubon we all know !!!!!
This is one of the most disappointing games of the season. You are on national tv, your starter turns in a stellar performance, and then you send in a reliever that was horrible the night before and is horrible again, AND single handedly loses the lead and the game. And, you sit and watch it happen instead of pulling him when it was obvious he was going to blow the game. This is stupid squared.
