re: When will the Astros fire Joe Espada?

Well, of course.

The league has changed the draft specifically to deter such things

And the Astros were the reason they did it

Brown and Crane have put the team in a position where they’ll have to deal some combo of Pena, Hunter Brown, Hader, Walker, and or Parades between July and the offseason. Farm is just in too bad of shape no matter how they finish this season.


Bring back 2011?

Don't be so obtuse :lol:
Any and all Astros front office personnel should be preparing for the future NOW

This manager and this team are not competing on a league wide level

Stop wasting time and assets, Crane
You can’t expect Pena to play 5 games in a row

Not in his money year

That’s a really good win that any team with some nuts builds off of. This group has really not shown the ability to build off and keep momentum on these types of wins all season so far.


No different than our pitchers walking the leadoff batter on 4 pitches after we score in our half

Seems like all of them do this

Gonna need plenty of nonsense the rest of the way
Yeah, he had to go get the throw

No block

But Abreu is going to still find a way
It’s a paraplegic fist fight
You don’t see MLB players mess up that bad like that 3rd baseman

But I guess Cam Smith and Jake Meyers say hold my beers…..

Altuve tried to top it off

LMAO
Don’t forget Yed

All 3

This team is just not good. Lose more than they win in this league with their present management on and off the field
Yeah, something along those lines

All these borderline out of the league guys
It’s so beyond bad luck at this point

I swear these in-season pickups are being advised by their agents that injuries could benefit them in some way
This is the time to finalize your plan moving forward

You have a stretch of games against teams that are not good. Are you any better?

If not, set a plan in motion
Arrighetti looks like shite

His spin is not spinning

Remember when we didn't spend any money on competent outfielders because we were gonna let the youths play. Cole, Dezenzo and Loperfido are in AAA and Cam is actually worse than last year.


Well, one good thing is that we didn’t spend money on anything else that has no chance to help.

Take a look at $40M Bregman and $60M Tucker
Sent Dezenzo down

Swapping Wade for Tuve in 5 hole seems better. LOL
Meyers shows why he just can’t make it as a mainstay in the lineup

I mean this game was lost, but when you’re in a 3-2 count down by 4 and you know the pitcher isn’t going to walk you with Pena and Yed on deck and in the hole, with a man already on, and he throws you a middle middle FB and the best you can do is fight it off, here’s your sign…….

Well, there’s also the fact he has to carry a bat in the OF in order to get the ball back into the IF. LOL
What does that say about your lineup when a guy DFA’d a couple days ago not only ends up immediately in your lineup the day he signs, but is batting 5th?

LMAO
