FUCK!!!!

How does this team continually shit the bed with runner at third and nobody out????

See, the thing is, our brain dead manager pulled one of our best hitters for defensive purposes to let Jason Castro hit.

Holy shit, Dusty Baker is stupid.
Dude we had a 2-1 lead with Pressly coming in for the 9th when it happened. I know you like to beat off to Dusty, but i know you are smarter than that....i think.

Him playing the field in the first place would be the argument....not the defensive sub

WRONG. 

Blame our best relievers.

I don't see him as that bad a fielder...Chaz in center seems more dangerous out there.

We are 20-26 in games decided by one or two runs. It's a good bet you might need that bat in the line up.

No. He's a bad manager.

You're seriously blaming Dusty Baker for this game when the Astros were four outs away from winning with a two run lead and both Graveman and Pressly pitched????

That's dumb.

Knowing our record in close games, yes. Don't pull one of your best hitters when you don't need to.

First you get rung up on a pitch a half foot off the plate. 

This here. 

And what was that count? Was it full?

Even if that specific point is granted (which I don't entirely agree with), that was not why this game turned out this way but you have a massive hard on for hating on Dusty Baker. It's almost a fetish. Graveman and Pressly fucked us. And the ump on the Correa at bat. And Castro and Yuli.

Yeah and you just assume that Yordan would've driven that run in? When Castro has also delivered multiple times in the clutch late, but failed this time? You're foolishly assuming outcomes from a hypothetical at bat when the reality is that this game was four outs from a win with our two best relievers on the mound. That's the story, not Dusty Baker subbing out Yordan for defensive purposes late.

OK. Cool.

All things considered, I would have preferred Correa/Alvarez/Gurriel.

I would have too, but the thought process for the managerial move was sound even though I disagreed with it. But in no way is this game on Dusty Baker. It's on that fucking ump more than him, but in actuality the Astros wasted something like 15 risps today.

It's a little on Dusty. He's got a reputation.

Not the worst loss of the season, but it's up there.

Turrible.

It is. 

That fucking ump screwed us hard on that Correa K. That was complete horseshit.
