  7. In what world does it make sense to put Montero in there? Was Dusty not at the game yesterday where he threw 17 pitches and gave up 2 runs and was completely non-competitive?

    I don’t mind the pitching change, although I thought it was premature. But Montero? As soon as I saw the change I was pretty certain what was about to happen.

  11. Why Dusty…why….Why leave a reliever in the game who had given up 2 doubles, let the game get tied and couldn’t find the strike zone?

  13. Urquidy – deals 7+ innings, gives up a tough single with 2 outs and guy coming up hes whooped all night.

    Dusty – hes done.

    Montero – double, double, walk, walk

    Dusty – lets see how the next one goes.

  14. dusty really panicked and took out Urquidy bc of an infield hit that shoulda been fielded

  15. “Dusty is a Hall of Famer and we shouldn’t be questioning his decisions” fans come and eat your overcooked crow

  17. LOL at Dusty not pinch hitting for Dubon. That’s gotta be close to 10 manager-losses this year now.

    An absolute masterclass of bonehead. Where’s all my Dusty defenders at lol

  20. Good news and Bad News!

    The Good News is: The Yankees fucking suck, we’re still #1 in the AL, we can lose a few games here and there and not have to worry too much. We’ll be fine, unlike the Yankees, who couldn’t win a game if they were space jamming their opponents and had an entire roided roster.

    The Bad News is: Montero was just so bad and could not throw a strike if the strike zone were the size of Texas.

    Silver lining is simple: We’re fine, it’s a game. Sucks, but we’re going to get the 1st Round bye either way. And the Yankees got shutout tonight, so hah

  23. Dusty fucked this up putting Dubon in the leadoff spot for what fucking reason and it coming back ro bite him in the ass to end the game is hilarious. Yeah i want Dubon (this game)and Gurriel to continue to have more ABs than Tucker Alvarez Bregman Mancini and Vazquez. Having him replace Pena in the lineup because of the neck is ok. But what fucking world does a .117 hitter with Houston make any sense especially against Cueto whose owned you for a decade. This team doesn’t score a run if Harrison fields a ground ball. After the last two games Dusty says how can I literally fuck this up to no end!

  24. Grandpa just said dubon is a good fastball hitter! Too much apple sauce and a skipped nap.
