Red Sox at Astros, 8/23/23

Absolute bed-shitting in extras, as usual.

This team is just infuriatingly terrible in extra innings for no fucking reason at all.

And the Sox threw two fucking scrubs in the 9th and 10th with minimal damage. Fucking infuriating.

Yordan must be seriously injured if he wasnā€™t available for a PH AB in the biggest moment in the game.

Not good.

Thatā€™s the million dollar question. How many big time players does this team still have?

There better be a fucking bone showing.

Seriously.

Honestly, I would have let Jake bat unless Yordan PH

I definitely would have let Meyers bat and then go with Dubon pinch hitting for Graveman.

PHing Julks with the game on the line and Yordan sitting on the bench is borderline criminal unless Yordan is hurt enough to not play for the next few days. Which, if he isnā€™t, Dusty is (unsurprisingly) a fucking liar.

Yeah, no logical explanation for tonight other than ā€˜heā€™s going to be out for a while.ā€™ But this is the Dustyverseā€¦

God damnit I fucking HATE Dusty Baker.

Iā€™m so fucking tired of his bullshit excuses, his pointless rambling, and his absolutely awful lineups.

Good night gentlemenā€¦ Talk at you in about 15 hours.

Dusty and half this roster are aging like the vampire in the last 5 minutes of a Hammer horror filmā€¦

Thatā€™s the point. He essentially pinch hit Julks for Meyers. Which is idiotic, no matter what alternate universe you live in.

1-7. ONE W in extras.

Thatā€™s not the point, obviously. The point is they arbitrarily use metrics, or, more specifically, they ignore them when the fucking feel like it, which is likely to signal the beginning of the end for this exceptional run.

Maybe things will change next year if Brown is able to select a manager.

Oh. And Astros had 14 Ks in this game. Brutal.

September is going to be Hell on Earthā€¦

Well that sucked.

Once again they lost a game they absolutely had plenty of chances to win.

Once again Dusty makes terrible moves actually reducing the chances to win and predictably they donā€™t work.

This team is in playoff contention DESPITE him.

Oh well. They werenā€™t going to win 35 in a row. Didnā€™t lose any ground.

Now go out and win tomorrow.

Next 7 are against BOS and DET before a day off next Thursday and Yankees come to town. Need to win at least 6 of those, but this team canā€™t get out of their own way.

I wonder if enough fans agree to boycott until Dusty is fired - hitting Crane in the pocketbook- itcwould work?

Suddenly 15K start showing up to the game and make it very clear why, instead of 30K?

I know. Just a fantasy. Not the real world

Good might fellow fans.
