    -Pitching Mushinski to give up a run and losing all the momentum after mounting a comeback to tie the game
    -Squeezing Urquidy for extra outs yesterday only for him to give up multiple runs
    -Julks in the line-up the last 2 games despite him hitting a poultry .212 in AAA after getting called down

    Same story all year. Every time the Astros are on the verge of catching The Rangers in the standings, they implode and take two steps back. Extremely frustrating to watch

    When our starting pitcher is having a bad day, Dusty doesn't care. How many times have we seen him let this happen? It's so frustrating.

    He will be blaming the 6 innings that they pitched in the World Baseball Classic instead

    I have no doubt he will deflect blame for this season away from himself.

    It’s not crazy at all and it’s rarely mental. In AAA you got guys like Bielak pitching to you. Everyone is ******** on Bielak and rightly so but that’s who these guys see on a daily basis.

    Maybe it's me, but Diaz's pitch framing looks improved as of late. Doing a much better job of getting the 50/50 calls.

    Eh, these games happen. I'm more upset about last night tbh as that was a game the Astros should have won.

    Bringing Jon Singleton back was the biggest mistake in the history of NASA.

    Sorry. This is Armageddon.

    Screw Dusty for letting JP rot out there

    I absolutely believe that with Jon it could be mental. Some of it anyway. Too much of a drop.

    Unfortunately the ugly side of Dusty Baker has reared its head this season. The team has won despite him prior to this season. Now we’re seeing how a manager can literally cost you a division. Astros are now officially in third place.
