Montero in a two run game is so fucking stupid.  Stupid.  Whatever, maybe it won't be like 2019 tomorrow.

I really hope we don't do it again.

Step 1 — Fire Dusty 

Step 2 — Don’t trust Bagwell with personnel decisions

Who did you want instead?

because you don’t burn your closer in a game you’re down two when he went two innings two nights ago and you may need him later in the game if you can come back and tie it… or to go more than 1 tomorrow if Abreu doesn’t win his appeal

Someone will need to explain that game 7s have to be managed with urgency.

Yep. All of our best pitchers have to be available, and used without hesitancy. We can't have WS rotations in the back of our mind in a must win game

I just knew we would fuck this up.  This god damn team hasn't done anything easy all year even when the opportunity is right there served up on a silver platter.

 

Damn Houston, I knew yall wanted to win it in 7 but you didn’t have to make it so obvious

So Javier, Pressly, Verlander.  That about cover it?

JP France needs to be warming up alongside Javier tomorrow.

The WS doesn't start til Friday. Everyone is available.

Maybe the early start will surprise Dusty and me misses the game?

I’m actually glad Schitzer is pitching tomorrow. 
 

We’re going to shove it up his 43 miilion dollar boney white ass

So much this. 

I have to say it’s funny to me to see people mad about this. It’s completely in character with everything he’s done in his career and all year and why I was so mad during the year because I knew this was coming in a hugely important situation.  Now that it’s here I’m not mad and just in it for the ride. 

I’m still absolutely stunned that Dusty ran Singleton out there with the bases loaded and two outs.    Even for Dusty that was some crazy shit.

Elias and Sig are 1 to 2 years away from a WS title in Baltimore. They should put them on the cover of Sports Illustrated. They are following our playbook to a T. 
 

Luhnow is in Mexico somewhere kicking a soccer ball.

aside from the no duh obviousness of it as a homer fan, I really really wanted to see Singleton come through in that huge moment just for his career arc. I was practically shitting myself with nervousness, I can't imagine how a hyped prospect with his rise and fall and return back to MLB as a 31 year old journeyman minor leaguer was ready for the enormity of it. Baseball is a game of failure, sucks that he wasn't able to be the successful side for that one at bat.

Part of me thinks Dusty ran him out there for similar sentiments.....

Bro. Absolutely. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing

Put the fuckers in a hotel tonight. Seriously

Dusty ran him out there because he drew a walk on Friday.

His AB was 100 times better than that twerp Dubon’s.

Remind him that Luby's starts serving the Senior LuAnn at 3:00.

Nah Dusty wasn't expecting him to just walk, he was expecting him to hit an xbh

Dubon has had a solid year and has earned his ABs.  That was a particularly bad one.  

I can't get over Dusty Baker leading off the 7th with Fatty.

And I can't get over how terrible the Dubon AB was in the 8th. Why the fuck are you swinging when he just walked someone on 5 pitches and looked nervous as fuck? Not to mention the first two pitches were balls...

And Montero in the 9th? Really? 

And Kyle Tucker is giving people with the last name of Tucker a bad name (pulling an opposite of Justin Tucker) 

Fuck

To be fair he could have done it because he had a dream about it 

What are leclerc’s splits on R v L ?

Judging by his Linkedin, he is open to opportunities. 
 

I couldn’t figure out how to link it, but this sure sounds like he would listen. 
 

I am passionate about helping players, coaches, and evaluators by combining insights from analytics, computer vision, and data visualization with experience in player development, sports science, and scouting. I enjoy assembling, training, and mentoring teams of experts and creating a culture of creative innovation across disciplines. I have an ability to listen to people and understand what they truly want and need, and to connect people and ideas in a way that inspires and brings out the best in everyone. I excel at bridging abstract and innovative concepts with a holistic real-world context to spur new ways of tackling problems. I have a track record of leading this kind of change to develop leaders for the future and to transform an organization to a championship level. I especially enjoy encouraging and equipping others as they take ideas that I helped to introduce and watch as they take them to the next level beyond what I could have done.

Fuck sentiments. I want to win. And no fucking way he was the optimal path to victory. 

Here we are 1 game from our 5th WS in 7 years and we have a roster with 3 guys on it that would never play for any other team in the playoffs. It's fucking amazing and sad at the same time.

Meanwhile, we continue to sit two of our Top 5 hitters over the course of the season and wonder why we score 2 runs in big games.

Why?

That was a bad swing by Uncle Mike on the 0-2

I meant 2-0. But what the fuck ever

He’s got a 640 ops this playoffs. 700 during the regular season. Chas has been like 850. Totally disagree.

Literally you know he’s on the record saying he makes strategic decisions based upon his dreams right?

of course. i was shocked that he was PH for Pena in that situation and thought it was bizarre old school righty/lefty thinking by Dusty.

But my post was about my fingers and toes crossed hopes and prayers of a magical baseball moment for a dude who's had quite the roller coaster ride and had an opportunity to etch a memory for fanbase that's been blessed with quite a few great ones the last seven years. baseball, man. alas.......

Everyone bitching about Montero to start the 9th, I’m still waiting to hear who should have been out there instead.

(and don’t say Pressly because I’ve already posted twice about why that is incorrect).

I wish I didn't.
