Well I already called for a sweep by the Royals. So 4-10 here we come. Then the rumblings of him being fired will commence in short order. Time to give Showalter a call.
Fluke hit didn't help either, but when you have speed on your team that happens, but yes the Astros pitchers walk too many hitters. Heck, Arrighetti said he tries to get hitters to swing and miss at every pitch. How was that not drilled out of him his 1st professional season? This is the same **** that ended the Biggio-Bagwell tenure. Stupid roster decisions, tight ass owner, and trading away talented players for veterans but we are also seeing the damage done from the cheating scandal and forfeitng those picks.
What are you wanting him to do? They have 5 starters out and 2 guys in the lineup aren't doing their jobs.
The collapse is real. No manager, or catcher can calm these young dudes down. The vaunted lineup is weak as hell. The front office is neutered. The pitching injuries puts everything into jeapordy even if everything else works out.
These are the small things that kill this team ! Espada doesn’t have the respect of this team. They are just lollygaging through each game with no focus.
