    There is no reason to ever throw the Astros something hittable early in the count. Never. Because they're going to swing at everything no matter what.

    9 pitch inning there.

    It was obvious to everyone I'm with that Hunter Brown shouldn't have gone back out there. Barely escaped a bases loaded. But Espada is going to force it. Same mistake costing us in close games.

    Sub 80 pitches after 6 innings. This team consistently doesn't take its competition seriously

    He’s way in over his head. I haven’t been impressed at all.

    Espada is not good enough right now.
    Maybe he grows in the job, but he probably won't have a team with Bregman, Tucker, Altuve and Verlander again. The window is closing.

    Now Altuve is injured.

    This bullcrap makes wasting last season that much worse.

    F*** 2019 too.

    Dusty started lowering the window last season.

    What a waste

    Astros play up or down to their opponents. I think it's because crappy opponents just cause them to play with lower energy or something. The important thing is to play good against good (playoff) teams and they usually do that.

    It's probably dead quiet in that dugout right now. Espada ain't firing these guys up. Just standing there, staring off, with hand covering his mouth. Easy to imagine, right?

    At least Mariners split their series against the A's, at their place. And they were more competitive in their 2 losses.
