i don't see what's the issue here. Espeda tried to reward dezenzo for a great game yesterday. unfortunately, he got injured so cam replaces him in the lineup.
I really liked that inning. Nothing fancy or forced. Some luck and they let the runs come to them. Rodgers hits it deep enough to get the sac fly RBI and boom Astros up 3-0.
I thought you were saying that Espada was going to play Smith anyway, and I was just saying that he wasn’t
Try to get 5 innings out of Blanco. 6 would be a blessing but I'm not convinced you should push it. He needs to leave the mound feeling good about himself. The pen is rested. We can go 4 IP tonight.
