    Those 2 pinch hits didn’t go well.

    If it’s just a matter of pinch hitting Dubon, why bother?

    Espada can't win there with the fans. If Brown stays in and blows it "why didnt you take him out?"!!!

    Somebody needs to punch Espada in the d*ck. Maybe he will grow a pair and stop panicking

    No, I'm serious. How is the manager supposed to make the players field better?

    The one run game record for Espada is not due to "luck"... it is due to horrific decision making.

    The Astros have wasted so many good pitching performances this year. It's nuts.

    Yes he is because of his defense. Had a .921 fielding pct. in the minors at 3rd in just over 20 games.

    Only thing I'm wondering about is why not have Dubon replace Bregman instead of Whitcomb?
