They just made sure of that with those poor at bats. Now Sneed gives up the 2 run HR as Dusty once again does a poor handling of the pitching staying to long with Sneed.

We played bad baseball. Repeated awful decisions made in these extra innings. Not one bunt in multiple great opportunities. Wasted chances. I understand bunting is on the way out, but give me a break. We gave up multiple free outs.
Manufacture one freaking run.

They just don’t care to alter their lumberjack strategy. I’m sick of launch angle baseball.

I don't like Dusty baseball Baker is a nice guy but NOT a good manager. I had expected him to play some "small ball" ,but, he seems to be another Hinch in that department. I don't give a damn who is at the plate. If you are the home team in extra innings and this stupid new rule lets you start the inning with the winning run on second base, COMMON SENSE says to call for the sac bunt to move the runner to third base. Blum made the brilliant comment that you "don't ask a guy like Altuve to bunt". Hell yes you do, especially if you have Bregman, Brantley, and Yuli coming up. TWICE we refused to bunt the man to third base and we lose the game because of it. Tucker takes a third called strike leadling off the 12th so Dusty stupidly sends Sneed back out and the result is a two-run shot that loses the game. We had great pitching from Javier, Taylor, and Osuna. Except for the home run, we got a good job from Sneed. Dusty's refusal to use the sac bunt probably cost us the game. I admit to being old school, but, you do what is called for when you only need ONE run to win the game. We were too damn dumb to use the bunt and we paid for it. \ The top 3 hitters in our order are basically useless right now. Altuve did not have one good at bat in this game and looked lost most of the time. No excuse for losing this game......and we have already extended Baker's contract..........ridiculous.

They just don’t care to alter their lumberjack strategy. I’m sick of launch angle baseball. Altuve, Tucker, and Toro were all three up in bunting situations and Dusty was too stupid to call for the sac bunt. I thought he would be better than Hinch in that area. You don't worry about who the batter is........if the situation calls for a bunt, you bunt. if the player thinks he is too good to be asked to bunt, that's tough......You do what needs to be done to win the game. Oh, and the damn replay was a joke. A blind man could see that Hernandez never had control of the throw. We won't win many reviews due to the sign-stealing scandal.

I hate that “you don’t ask Altuve to bunt” nonsense. He knows how to bunt and has for hits in the past. I guess it’s better to see him hack away on an outside pitch in the dirt and strike out like the other stars in the lineup.

No excuse for not advancing that runner to third base. Not ONE of them attempted to bunt. Baker was making excuses for not bunting in his post game news conference......Just a bull shit excuse about how our next hitter had to face the pitcher. Hell, Bregman, Brantley, and Gurriel were coming up when Altuve didn't bunt. Altuve and Bregman were coming up when Tucker didn't bunt. Altuve and Bregman are looking nearly as bas as George right now. You don't ask guys to bunt, you give them bunt sign. If they refuse to bunt, fine their ass. A guy who won't try to bunt is selfish and puts his stats above the team needing to win the game.

I wasn't a fan of hiring Dusty Baker. I'd have rather had Dusty Mayron for manager

I didn't want Baker, either But, I was not surprised when Crane hired him. He is an old school guy with experience, who........unfortunately for us........has a history of mishandling pitchers and failing to win when it counts. That is why the Nationals fired him....He could get them to the playoffs and get out-managed every time. I wanted someone with Astro connections. I also think it was a bad move to extend Baker this early. I didn't think I'd ever say this but I wouldn't care if they brought Hinch back. The more I see of Dusty, the more I'm convinced we made the wrong move. True, he can be a stablizing force due to the scandal but I just can't help remembering hoe he mishandled pitchers.
