    This Astros team really lives or dies base on Tucker's bat.

    That maneuver has been pretty standard all year.

    After getting down 3 I didn't have any confidence knowing the bottom of the order was coming up and the weak bench. Missed their opportunity with the top of the order with Bregs and Tucker coming up short.

    Meyers should have hit. Dubon should have hit 9th. Why put Julks in that spot when he's mega struggled. Crazy decision.

    Dubon is just not a ML player and has no business pinch hitting in that kind of situation followed by ****ing Julks. God I hate our manager

    He wasn’t supposed to be here. So I think it’s been a great season for him. It’s just too bad that he can’t hit major league pitching.

    This puzzles me, Meyers is fast enough to avoid a double play.

    Gawd this team frustrates me ! Why is Julks still up? 1-41 time to head back to Sugarland.

    Julks is the worst position player on the team now that Kessinger was sent down.

    Mauricio Dubon should never pinch hit for a MLB position player, with the lone exception of Martin Maldonado. Dubon and Julks are Dusty's favorites -- stats are irrelevant. They both came up empty with the bases loaded in the 10th tonight.

    According to Dusty, we'll thank him later for these moves.

    I agree ! I was his biggest fan but in the end he’s just not good enough right now.

    Dubon forgot he’s supposed to be a contact guy and had a horrendous AB. Julks shouldn’t even be on the team, let alone batting in that spot.

    Because Dusty really thinks Corey Julks is a better option lmao

    I’d damn near rather have seen Yordan just stand there, not swing and hope the fear of him at the plate leads to a walk than watch Corey Julks with the game on the line.
