I've never seen you in person, but I'm just guessing you could throw a ball around Singleton or Jones (or within 3 feet of the plate, Jones would swing, down the middle Singleton would watch....)
Espada's usage of Hader baffles me. Not long ago there were debates on whether Pressly should come into tie games at all vs. just straight save situations...here Hader is being used late when we have DEFICITS. What happens now if we have a late lead today and Espada burned him for no reason last night?
Espada looks like he doesn't really know how to handle being a manager. His overuse of Hader, odd pinch hitting, or lack of pinch hitting decisions, lineups, etc. He's just not impressive at all so far. Having said that, I have hope that some of this is circumstantial and maybe things will get better. Right now though, it feels pretty ****ing grim.
“But, But Dusty overuses his Bullpens…”. Amazing that Dusty was GREAT at using his bullpen with the Astros.
We simply cannot keep trotting Abreu out there. It isn't fair to the team and quite frankly at this point it isn't fair to him. He's washed. The game has passed him by. Acknowledge your mistake and move on. To think we endured both Abreu and Maldy last season and was one freaking home win away from another WS is absolutely astonishing.
Dusty was ****ing pathetic in every aspect of in game managing of a baseball game, that the Astros hired a worse version of him is not the win you think it is.
