As much as I hate dusty, can’t pin this one on him really. Just shit pitching, not easy to win games when you give up 4 home runs.
but the failure of this season falls squarely in his lap. He’ll be a case study on how to not to end your career… could have gone out on top. Instead he goes out in disgrace… deservedly so.
Any half competent manager would have tore that ump a new asshole and hanging in the clubhouse by now.
Instead our fucker is still in the dugout, snoring his ass off, drool probably rolling down side of his cheek…
This is such an overexaggeration…. Who is on the 40 man today that was on the 2017 WS team, just 6 years ago?
Pretty sure it’s just three: Tuve, Bregman, and JV (and he missed a season because of Tj surgery).
Agree, no hate for maldy. I think he’s trying his best, it’s just not good enough. The hate falls purely on Dusty who clearly is not trying his best because he purposely spots the other team at least 5 auto-outs every game by playing him and other stupid line up decisions.
the death lineup is so obvious to everyone, we’re in a heated division race, and yet dusty refuses to play it while we keep losing. That’s so fucked.
also, lol at being able to trade away maldy. Ain’t no teams want him, would need to be something like that time Morey paid the Lakers to trade away Jeremy Lin. Or just dfa him
That’s how it’s playing out. But the only choice for Chas was to try and sac fly in the run. Otherwise it would get stranded. He had to swing at crap and try
Dontrelle had to say that dumb shit about having to throw strikes to get us out because we’re not chasing… and four guys proceed to strike out while swinging at what would be balls.
No. Not because of this sweep. What’s concerning is that we’re in a dogfight for a winnable division and we have a manager that is playing suboptimal bats every game and making stupid decisions. And it’s not just one tweak, it’s multiple. There is zero fucking reason dubey should be playing today. Yanier should starts. And don’t get me started on dumb shit like that challenge on fan interference. Make it make sense for me please.
As Tom Herman once said, winning is hard. It’s even harder when a stubborn dummy is in charge of decision making.
This is the stupidest shit ever. He was playing the odds that Singleton would draw a walk (that .275 has to be on base pct, nfw it is batting avg)?!? So Peña could fuck it up after him? Seriously?!?! Gtfo dusty.
or Dusty can not just play a shit lineup with so many auto outs.
I mean seriously, Peña surprises us with a double, and there was no doubt that the triumvirate of suck Meyers, Maldo, and Dubon would never bring him in. I get that Altuve getting hurt couldn’t be predicted. But there is no fucking reason Meyers should ever see the field unless it’s an emergency. Makes zero sense that both Chas and Brantley’s bats sat on the bench the whole game (besides the last at bat).
