I am far more in favor of Dusty's not micromanagement of the pitching staff over Hinch but this is bordering on insane.

y'all

 

it was a five run game. you have a three game series upcoming against the red hot Mariners. Let the AAA kid with ML experience work.

[rvm96 1643]

Also nobody complained when Bielak started the 9th so stop blaming Dusty

Another questionable decision, imo. Hope I'm wrong

[Mitch Hedberg 2117]

That sucked because I hate the Yankees but in another reality it would not suck to watch Judge terrorize the Crawford Boxes 82 games a year. 
 

Now back to fuck Judge and fuck the Yankees.

What is it with the damn 9th innings?!

[TonyTexas 10764]

Gravedancers showing up. @cabowabo where are you?

Not really Bielak’s fault. Dusty pushed and lost. Still in good shape. 

Are we though?

Three scoreless innings should have been plenty to boost his confidence. 

[perfectchaos007 6780]

All of our games with the Yankees seem to come down to the bottom of the 9th or extras. We still have a chance to AVOID that

Well you're going to be limp after the deadline with those expectations 

Probably won’t happen but a girl can dream.

Fuck the Yankees!!!

[Gourmand 7778]

ASTROS WINNNN!!

[HtownHorn 15234]

Montero with some brass balls. Bregman teaching Pena how to do it. Dusty's stupidity bailed out by a great defensive play.

[kevwun 16438]

Thanks Matt.  I loved you in Quigley Down Under.

[runthebone 8376]

Sweep!

It's not about his confidence, it's about saving bullpen arms

Yep. Especially considering the fact that we are missing our closer and heading up to face the team that some people here seem to be concerned about in their place fresh off 4 days rest. 
If ever you try to steal another inning out of a guy it’s right there. 
it also would have been fine to bring Abreu in.

You only need to win 4 games in a 7 game series. Just for shits and giggles, we won 5 in the regular season series.

Well then don't start 2 pitchers that struggle to get through 5 innings consistently, then you don't have to burn your bullpen during the double header. Poor Bielak deserved better than Dusty Baker today.

I feel like we can combine it with the one game in June and give it a regular sized broom.

OBTW… picked up a game on the M’s today.  Not a bad Thursday.

and yet, he had to burn Montero. So, it wasn't about saving bullpen arms. It was about being greedy when you had 3 rested options for the 9th. Including 1 that is about to be sent back down once Pressly comes back from maternity leave.

Proud of the fight at the end, never quit. Hopefully this wakes up the front office but I doubt it.

If we won 7-2, that might have prompted the Yanks to back up the Brinks to get Soto. We tactically allowed Judge to hit the HR to make it a close 7-5 contest. The Yanks are right there, no need to add any pieces for them!!
