Sweeps happen it’s the big leagues. It’s the getting swept due to horrible decision making and shitty lackadaisical play that triggers me. I’m fine with getting outplayed but when a manager is solely the reason for the outcome multiple times that’s unacceptable.

And it’s going to continue going this way in close games unless there is a change made

Dusty has shown he’s not a motivator anymore. And he’s never been a tactician. There is absolutely nothing he brings to the table

Sweeps happen, I agree, but we have an Allstar laden lineup. We should never be swept by a glorified AAA team.

Baker is an arse clown, and that's being nice. The Astros rushed into hiring this idiot because he was Black, and available. Baker always overstays his welcome, does stupid shite, and eventually gets fired.

Dusty when asked about not walking Garcia: "Yeah, we considered, it but I thought with Pressly's stuff – he jammed the heck out of him. You can’t make a better pitch than he made."



This is the exact type of dumbass logic I expected from him. Its not strategic, its not information backed. Its just his gut feeling because that's how it was done in 1971. His gut told him that Pressly's stuff could beat the hottest hitter in the Rangers lineup, so they didn't make the strategically smart play.

We got swept by the least talented team in baseball. Swept by trash Tigers, swept by trash Rockies, and swept by the completely trash arse Rangers?

I'm fricking speechless guys.

He jammed the heck out of him.

Yeah.. great Dusty. He jammed him and got a slow roller through the infield which didn't mean shite when the ball has to come home to keep the game alive.

Yea he jammed a guy that puts the bat on the ball. Imagine what he’d do to a guy that has the most swing and miss in the league.

Dusty Baker called Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who hits after Adolis García/Joey Gallo, "dangerous." Kiner-Falefa also has a 60.5 percent groundball rate — the fifth-highest in the sport. Maybe more of a case to walk both García and Gallo to face him with the bases loaded and one out


Can't expect Dusty to know this.

Dodgers, Padres, Red Sox, Blue Jays Red Sox. Quite a stretch to go into fresh of a sweep by the Rangers.


As go our Cubans, so go our Astros. Yed can't touch the ball lately and Yuli has opted out of any contribution since his 4 hit game Wednesday.

I’ve considered the possibility that the Rangers needed to sweep the Astros just to get within 5 games of them.
