[Official] Giants @ Astros

Then why not DH him today Dusty?

 

Hensley's subpar play not matching all the attention he got from all those public appearances around town in the off-season.

 

And yet again, horrible baserunning by Hensley. When you're barely getting on base to begin with, it doesn't help matters when you get picked off so easily.

Why the hell is he DH'ing, Dusty?!

 

At some point, yes. Thats not after 1 month though.

 

Oh he will but right now he needs to get his head out of his ass

 

SF knows one damn run may win this.

 

I know a lot of people think that Dusty has personal issues with his players - and all I can say is that I have never heard anyone say that is the case. In fact I have heard people say that Dusty really seems to enjoy just about everyone. If he isn't playing Diaz, he has a reason other than not liking him. Also, they are supposedly working a lot on Diaz' swing and approach at the plate - and that could be part of all of this.

If Diaz keeps looking like he has behind the plate and at the dish (after being nervous the first 3 games, he is hitting like 340) he will force his way into the line up.

 

Uh oh…

 

Oh look Dusty the bunt worked…..

 

Tucker with a real f**k up letting that runner get to 2nd on a play that wasn't close at home

 

ball game.

if you're a struggling pitcher, just come to minute maid and dominate like it's nothing.

 

There goes the ball game.

 

I think that’s exactly what they are priming Diaz for. Baker also expanded on the topic saying that Diaz has been working real hard with the catching team and Maldy and then stated he will be a “major contributor”. Baker is signaling his eventual takeover. We shall see

 

astros can't even get to 0.500 at home.

 

What in the **** was he thinking, trying to airmail that throw to home?

eta: yeah, that didn't just cost us a run or anything

 

Coming unglued

 

Well guys we cant expect our pitchers to be perfect. The bats gotta get going. Everyone looks like a cy young against us.

 

Framber has to be frustrated. Feel like you have to be perfect and the team around him isn't,t just not hitting they're making mental mistakes also.

 

How many times have Bregman hit into a DP?!?!?!?!? Likely more than his HR totals, please Dusty tell your pending free-agent to BUNT! BUNT! Wasted the 1st Inning with 3 hits and 0 runs, with 1 big play, Double Play. This is the same Stros that plays flat against inferior teams. Maybe Tucky needs a TO in this series.

 

This is what happens when your putrid ass offense cant provide any run support to the sp. Eventually, the pressure gets to them
