    Checking 0se Abreu's batting average, his batting is sooooooo low that ESPN doesn't have him ranked. He has 30 at-bats with BA of .061, I think ESPN considers him retired. He has as many Hits By Pitch (2), Hits (2).

    People are going to jump on Espada - but at some point Javier needs to get through these types of innings. Only at 79 pitches entering the inning.

    You would be surprised. I have had quite a few people argue it with me.

    He had a lot of help from the shitty play from Bregman in the 5th.

    Early in the season and you just lost Framber for likely the season. Just stop, it was a stupid ****ing decision.

    If Bregman makes one ****ing play in the 5th, it's still 3-0 and then it's a different conversation.

    Conditioning… loss of command….hitters get to see him another time through the order.

    He has a lot of talent and stuff - but he has to get over the hump and pitch through 6 innings.

    I don’t have an issue with Espada trying to push him to go out there after 79 pitches. He will need to go more than 5 if we make the playoffs.

    The season is long.
