    I don’t support cowards, and Hinch is definitely the biggest who had the scandal happen on his watch. It is OKAY to admit that.

    Post game 790 guy and twitter seem to be more upset at the hitting. But there was only one hitting mistake, not bringing Yordan home with 1 out. Putrid. But against Seattle this is how the games go. We did the same to them until our highest paid relievers and 1st baseman had other things in mind.

    Several players have complained.

    No - Valdez hasn’t complained.

    Pressly and Hader complained early in the season. Pressly didn’t like how Baker used him last year and Espada this year… he had enough and his agent called Brown and when that went no where, he went to Crane.

    Hader complained to Miller. In turn Miller spoke to Espada. Then Espada and Hader talked and worked out their issues.

    Supposedly Bregman complained to Crane. However like a week later Bregman defended Espada.

    McCormick isn’t happy either.

    At this point a lot of this isn’t even on Espada - it’s frustration over losing and poor performance.

    Some of it’s bad luck - some of it is poor decisions.

    Pressly. He has not pitched in 4 days, usage was not an issue. He put scrubs at 3rd & 1st with no outs. At minimum he's probably blowing the save with tied game. But Pressly created the pressure on both Abreu & Bregman to try to do too much. Even the ball off Abreu's glove was kind of a tricky hop, if we truthfully look at it.

    Yeah Ryan Pressly doing his typical bullshit. Dude has cost us at least as many games as Abreu on his own.

    There's plenty of options to pitch when we are down by multiple runs to risk Ryan Pressly with even a 5 run lead, then have to run out your closer. I'm good on that.

    What is the pulse of the players on Abreu coming back up? Has Abreu lost the confidence of his own teammates?

    Bregman provided the only offense of the game... that being said... if Correa can bat 6th or 7th in his prime here, so can Bregman.

    Chas not being happy, what else is new. He has some nerve though especially coming into camp fat and out of shape.

    LOL defending Pressly, another guy who doesn’t take any accountability in his own performance.

    0-2 with abreu. Him being back and starting on first is hurting team moral. Singleton is better than Abreu on defense. If bagwell and crane forcing you to play that dud, then put him at DH. I was starting to think they’d find themselves back in first by July 4th. Since the abreu news I knew it was going to go back to looking like the team in April. Also, Presleys luck has run out.

    I don't think Espada even has the freedom to do that. If he came up to bat in the 9th... Dubon, Chas, and Caratini would also been forced to sit.
