Let's not forget Abreu gave up that HR that was fouled before base clearing double. Wouldn't Neris be better?!?!?!?!?
Look, the reason Espada has a short leash with the fans is that he and the Astros have one of the worst one run differential records in baseball.
Pena's bat is very meh and he gets the longest rope because of his supposed Gold Glove yet he's been tops in the league in errors every season he's been up.
We don't have anybody that can drive in a run when needed. Been that way all season long. Hell I blame Dana more than Espada
Since July 30th: 28 games 24 errors That doesn't even count plays that should have been made that weren't counted as errors (e.g., Singleton vs Baltimore). I don't think I've ever witnessed an Astros team this poor defensively over an entire month of play.
