Astros @ Kansas City, August 18, 2021

Well, that was not fun

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Dusty had to make sure he saves his best relievers.

Son of a bitch.

So the bullpen shits the bed after the Astros take the lead. Lovely.

You cannot possibly be surprised.

I don’t know why Kendall Graveman isn’t being used. He hasn’t pitched since Friday.

NOW he’s coming in?

Had to wait until he couldn’t preserve a lead.

Not surprised. Just expressing my disgust.

Is that the second or third time this year Greinke has left a game with a lead only to see it vanish the next inning?

So much for Dusty’s genius

His idiot to genius ratio is 25/1

Greinke had only thrown 85 pitches. I think he should have at least started the 7th. You needed a zero and Blake Taylor was not who you bring in to achieve that. If it wasn’t greinke, it should have been Gravemen right there.

He regressed to the mean very quickly.

Dusty is the mean

This goes back to Dusty’s inexplicable belief that all relievers are equal.

Nope, wouldn’t have wanted Graveman to try and go two innings since he hasn’t pitched since Friday.

Closing the barn door after someone stole your horse AND your girlfriend.

Dusty must do a lot of things well as a manager behind the scenes. Of course he knows more about baseball than most people. His in-game decisions frequently baffle me, though.
