    Maldonado was one of the worst framing catchers last year, he allowed the most passed balls, and was one of the worst throwing catchers as well. There was literally nothing Maldonado did last year that was a + defensively.

    Besides framing is about to become a useless statistic, because MLB baseball will be implenting the challenge system within the next 2-3 years.

    What a miserable life you must live! You are following a team just to watch them lose. How petty!

    The starting pitcher's era was in the hig 4's last year in the 2nd half with Maldonado as the primary catcher. He allowed plenty of ass beatings, including in game 6 and 7 in the ALCS.

    Absolutely hilarious. Instant gratification. Not only does Diaz continue to get hits but scores as well.

    imagine if the stros weren’t in a 8-1 hole. But but but.

    idiot

    Doesn’t matter to me. It’s just funny how you’re trying to say I told you so to everyone but you just continue to look like a loser and pathetic armchair

    The pathetic armchair is the manager of the Astros, evidenced by the record.

    Losers and idiots don't have the gumption to admit they were wrong, that is okay. I will remind you daily.

    Espada is off to a terrible start, no doubt about it.

    I’ve got a plethora of Astros auto/etc. cards to sell.. lol.

    Anyways. Esparza has a few months to right the ship, if he doesn’t, changes have to happen.

    Or do we start the Crane is selling the team rumor again?
