    Bet AJ and Dusty would have gotten ejected. Deservedly so. You have to take up for your players.

    Is it hilarious that you are on a HOUSTON ASTROS board? And we all ride or die with the Astros. We've been thru a cheating scandal before. I felt bad only to find out half the league was doing the same ****.

    I remember being concerned because I thought Dusty was going to have a heart attack sticking up for his players. Espada just stands there like a little b****.

    Probably… then again, Espada was never a player?

    Espada is a giant tube of Vagisil.

    Praise be… but maybe you could explain what he’s angry about? I felt the cheating scandal has prepared us all for potential issues like this, hence why the reaction was what it was.

    Wasn’t sure what the rant was targeting.

    I tend to believe Max Scherzer when he was ejected…Rosin and enough sweat can produce a very sticky “substance”

    The A's pitcher has a drenched jersey. If I'm Espada I'm asking them to check the inside of his glove. I want to see if it's the sweat

    And he was subsequently suspended 10 games. Apparently you can’t put excessive rosin? And the point of the whole thing was so almost nothing can be used… because offense sputters against elite spin and nobody watches baseball when offense sputters (allegedly).

    Scott has had a hell of a season to this point. Hasn't pitched in much leverage but good results nonetheless.

    Wondering where Tony Kemp was. He’s in the minors with Minnesota.

    At first I thought this was a Mike Scott reference in regards to Blanco… as we all know the allegations against Scott and ball manipulation, also bloomed late.

    But yes, Taylor was awesome. Didn’t think he really had to go 2 innings, but he almost looked better with some either fatigue or conserving.

    Alvarez should borrow Bregman's headband.
