    One of those "starts outside and just keeps curving farther outside" pitches he threw 9 times in the inning. Maybe he thought it would work that time.

    Who the **** goes 3 PHs in a row twice in 4 days to sacrifice the DH when said PHs are just as bad as the starters...?

    They decided to pitch around Jones and couldn’t even throw a strike.

    Yeah…I want my 3 hours back. I watch almost every game but I think I’m going to take a few games off after this one

    After going on that crazy run of consecutive wins in starts by Valdez and Brown, we have now lost our last 4 Valdez starts and 5 of the last 8 Brown starts.

    No ****ing way to defend these decisions by Espada. To be this far into your professional baseball career as a minor league player and MLB bench coach and to make the same mistakes over and over?

    Who put voodoo on this team this year, we can't beat the Tigers now. We can't beat A's. We should play the Spankees every game so they can wake up.

    I know it’s a lot of things, but I’ve just never warmed up to Espada even in moments of success - the one thing I can’t get past - I don’t believe he’s a worthy leader of this team. I I know there’s plenty to point to but I just can’t get this out of my head.
