Maldy better bunt 

 

fucking christ

now we’re left with an .092 hitter at the plate with no one on after a 4 pitch walk to start the inning 

Good thing we signed him to a longer contract. It's not like we have anybody else we need to sign.

I absolutley hate how Dusty manages pitchers. 4 innings and 84 innings and he pulls Zach. We're gonna have nothing but dead arms in the pen by the end of the season. 

It’s not like grienke had retired 11 of his last 13

 

Oh wait

Yeah or aka using your head

Dusty runs pitchers into the ground
Dusty pulls pitchers too early
Blah blah blah

Hey I don't disagree it's just an undeniable trend in baseball analytics these days and I'd bet that this is more a function of the front office ethos than Dusty's call. The guy was pilloried for years for running his starters into the ground and now he's a dumbass for always going to the pen early. 

 

Edit: sorry I misread your post, agree. now I gotta go open another cold one.

Astros are middle of the pack in average IP by starters at 5.2. Dodgers lead at 6.0. And they’re #9 in pitches per start at 87
