Dusty'd again...

Tucker should have been sat down after game 4, he has misplayed several balls and he looks like he couldnt give a rats ***....and you PH Singleton with Diaz and Chaz on the bench.....if this team doesnt get it done in game 7 it will be an all time choke job.....how can one team be so good for 7 years and lose this many games at home in the post season.....
This has set up to be the Nationals WS all over again....

I said it then, Tucker needs a minute on the bench, MVP candidate or not. Hes not just in a slump, hes pouting on the field. I didnt mind the Singleton AB, it just didnt work. I hope Chas is in right field tonight but hell, I think Dusty in right may be a step up from last night.

I concur!

[jshouse]

it definitely feels like something is off with tucker, like one day we will about something crazy he was going through for these 3 weeks

Well, are we one game away from Dusty being gone, or moving to the World Series?

I didnt see, how many times did Dusty strike out with runners in scoring position?

I did see him pinch hit Singleton when we needed contact, I did see him bring in Montero which led to the game being put out of reach. Don't know if it would have made a difference last night, but Dusty got out managed last night. Eovaldi's pitch count was getting elevated quickly, our 2 guys struggling the most went to the plate in the same inning swinging at the 1st pitch for outs giving him a quick 3 and out. If they don't know the situation, you might want to remind them.

Astros have now lost 21 of their last 28 games at MMP…
that is unreal for a team in a game 7 ALCS

My opinion for what it’s worth, it depends on if El Reptil shows up or if the other version of Javier does.

If he comes out and goes 5 or more strong, I think the Astros win.

Wonder why they havent called and offered you the job...

[zztex]

Nightmare start

[MacDaddy67]

Couldnt have started worse if they had tried ! Unreal

Oh stop being ridiculous. This entire thread is full of our bewilderment at many of Dusty's questionable moves over the year. Why is questioning him now a problem? You seem to be the expert here, though...
