    Not effing around, Espada has McCormick batting 6th instead of Abreu.

    Talk about different philosophies between him and Dusty.

    One is proactive and the other was just, er uh, a dumbass.

    Don't tell that to Mr. Scarface or Rvo344 whatever the **** his name is. Espada is a terrible manager!!!!

    I actually don't think he's terrible. We won't know if he's awful for a while longer.

    Those posters you mentioned are actively hoping that we lose under Espada. They want the Astros to ****ing lose.

    That's what is so sad about it. I know they don't want the Astros to win. It's mind-boggling to me. Truly clowns.

    hopefully he will continue to be hitless after this series.

    wouldn't want someone who's ice cold to warm up and get hot..........

    Managers are generally rated by how well their team does. Sometimes, good managers are handed bad teams. Other times bad managers are handed good teams. We can try and say whether a team over or underachieved.

    My point is, Espada was handed a good team. If we end up with a good record, I am not sure how to evaluate Espada.
    I suppose if we are great this year rather than just good or very good, Espada grade is good.

    Around here, I think most hope/expect us to take the division from the Rangers. Espada's report card may hinge on that outcome.

    I'm so over AppleTv+ games already. I buy MLB.tv because I want to watch my team play, but apparently not on Fridays.

    Should be a sign when their 3rd and 5th hitters may not be major league players 6 weeks from now.

    He's hitless but has still been on base more times than Abreu.
