MLB frowns on news during the playoffs. I would expect Espada will be let go after the WS. Therefore I would suggest everyone put rvodumbass on ignore like I will after this post.
“I went around and talked to all the players and let them know they did their best, they fought hard and never gave up, just came up short.” geesh Joe, I’m sure they had no idea. The story with his daughter seemed a bit of odd placement but whatever. He’s in a place with the org he’s not been in before so maybe just nerves.
Disappointed. Espada was saved by the ridiculous amount of injuries but not excited he is given another chance to manage this team. All you can do is hope for the best and hope for better health next year and see where that gets us under this continued leadership.
Hinch please come home. Yes he took Skubal out early. Yes he’ll be killed for that. However, going from Espada to Hinch is like going from a Corolla to a Lamborghini. Do it please
Shildt "retired" from the Padres today. I've been thirsty for him since before we hired Espada. There are options out there that would be an upgrade over Espada that weren't available at the start of the offseason.
Hinch already cost us a Title by not bringing in Cole. And, had a similar snafu with Skubal. We don't need him screwing up with all the chips out there again. No thank you.
