    Dusty being Dusty. Loyal to a fault. Dusty can win you a ton of regular season games but he's ****ing awful at managing a series. Can't see what his eyes are showing him.

    Dusty easily could've had Yordan in LF and kept Hensley at DH. If the Astros lose a close one tonight, it's entirely on him.

    We are making good contact, just not having any luck against their fielders….

    It's been obvious for a long time, our offense would be what stops us...

    Even non-Astros observer in Smoltz saw Diaz is a liability.

    Should have out Hensley in for Diaz there. Use the guys in the bench at DH.

    Diaz at bat has cost us twice already.

    The top of the order has cost us twice already.

    So many damn flaws in the lineup.

    If we can just get this 1 I love our chances with Framber in game 6 and Javier in game 7.

    And IDGAF how many days rest that would be for Javier you throw him out there.

    Dusty is gonna cost us this one. Last year, we lost a 1-run heartbreaker in Game 4 in part because he kept refusing to move Bregman down in the order. He finally did it in Game 5 and the Astros offense exploded, but it was too late by then.

    Dubon can actually make a contact to put the ball in play even it's an out which Diaz can't do apparently.
