    Hunter Brown and Will Smith were on that World Series roster and never pitched. He could have given either or both some innings and had no real effect on the bullpen.

    Your SO's race/ethnicity/background doesn't make you less racist.

    Hell, people even hate their OWN race/ethnicity/background.

    Not true at all and at least I still wanted them to win. Unlike you, I never rooted for the Astros to lose.

    You like white women, that doesn't mean you like white people.


    BTW, I'm not calling you a racist because I don't know you.

    That logic is idiotic. You don't marry something you hate, let alone spend almost 3 DECADES with them.

    Happens everyday. Your white wife doesn't make you exempt from being a racist. That’s pretty basic common sense. I’m sure she likes you using her for that purpose. I think it’s clear that you are single anyway. I think you’re proving that now. Stop lying about your wife that you don't actually have.

    You marry somebody because you think their your mate. Color of skin is the least of the reason I would choose a mate. Obviously you feel the same way. We have more in common than you make think.

    Not too soon. Espada’s job should not be fully secure. The team underperformed last season.

    He tinkers with the lineup too much trying to play matchups and make everybody happy and basically continue spring competitions into the season, all bad ideas. Pick the 9-10 guys you think are your best players and play them everyday. Trying to play Rodgers, Dubon, McCormick, Meyers, and Smith all regularly across 3 spots is stupid.

    His job should not be secure. However, too many guys in the lineup who are one trick ponies yet again.

    What could get Espada fired though is not implementing or bringing in a new bench staff.

    I can't believe Espade is riding the bench with Tucker and Bregman. What are you thinking Joe? amirite?

    The Talent Level is a Question Mark.

    Isaac Paredes as a Pull Hitter as the 2nd Hitter ain't working.

    Yordan Alvarez can't see the ball and is Striking Out almost every at bat.

    Christian Walker as the 4th Hitter is a Flop, Striking Out in Crucial Situations.

    Yanier Diaz and Jeremy Pena forgot to Hit

    Only Jose Altuve is hitting for power

    Cam Smith is the 2nd best Hitter with 2 singles

    How far low is after Cam Smith in hitting this season.

    1 or 2 runs a game is normal for the Astros Hitters chasing after low pitches or balls in the dirt for strikeouts.

    Spencer was great the rest of the Starters are mediocre performance, the bullpen is the only positive, along with Altuve hitting.
