I don’t think pinch hitting for Chas is the brightest possible move, especially if you replace him with a strike out machine.
He got three fat pitches down the middle watched the third.
This team is so dogshit at home
Such a bad home team.
Thanks Dubon.
Singleton?! Stupid.
Mariners lead 8-7 in the 9th. Rangers and Twins in the 10th
The most obnoxious thing about this team is how the offense always goes dead silent after a rough pitching/defense inning.
This is high on the list, very high, of “dumbest Dusty strategy” I’ve seen this season
Twins take the lead in the 10th
Not exciting about driving three hours tomorrow for more of this.
Mariners hang on to win. Astros now three games out
Feast or famine strategy; either hits HR or Ks
Twins get three in the 10th…lead 9-6
Rangers go down. Astros remain in second place.
Rome with the quote from Dusty:
Dusty Baker said the Astros “projections” showed Jon Singleton was projected to hit .275 off Clay Holmes. Chas McCormick was .220, Baker said. Baker was worried about Holmes running the sinker in on McCormick, and said “that’s why we have Singleton up here” to take those ABs
Sure.
Did they ask him why Singleton took those strikes? He’s a fucking strikeout looking for a place to happen.
Dusty is an analytics nerd now?
Who’s more wrong? The nerd or the nerd who follows him?
Jays comeback falls short with the bases loaded in the 9th. Astros stay two up on the final wild card spot.
