Joe Espada is a moron when it comes to handling pitchers. Why was Dubin out there to start a third inning after two strong innings? Not that it matters because the Astros offense has apparently decided to not play this series - but Espada apparently is mentally r****ded. Part of being a manager is putting your players in a position to do well and it feels like Espada does the opposite so far. How long before Crane calls up Buck Showalter to stop the horseshit.
don't have high hopes for Whitley, but not gonna judge him by a debut performance when he is bound to be amped up on adrenaline
Not long. And just to set the record straight, I do not root for the Astros to lose. It just never made sense for this guy to be next in line.
No one understands it except Espada - because it was stupid. It was a terrible decision. Let him leave with confidence and not gassed.
Wow.... so now that the starting rotation is holding it down this week..... the bullpen is now ******** the bed. And the bats .... Unreal.
Anyone who thinks this team constructed as is, is a playoff team (or even a +500 team) is in for a long, disappointing season.
