    Hey Espada, the game would likely be tied if you hadn't brought Dubin out for a 3rd inning. Man, he makes such bad in game decisions.

    They would have brought out their closer. But yes, I said earlier before this game even started…his management of the bullpen has been terrible this season.

    He should have pitched Pressly in the 9th. Using Dubin again was wrong.

    Buck Showalter is sitting there. Manager of the year in both leagues like 4 times?
    Come on, Crane. Cut bait.

    The bullpen didn’t **** the bed in this series - Joe “tisy” Espada **** the bed.

    He brought Hader into the game in yet another non save situation and then tonight rolled Dubin back out for a third inning at like 35 pitches.

    Again - this isn’t rocket science stuff. Hader and Pressly pitch when the Astros are ahead. You don’t bring in relievers for 3rd innings when they are laboring.

    For some reason Espada completely lacks the part of the brain that is smart.

    I’m not Crane obviously - but if this was my team I would have already spoken to Buck Showalter to see what his read on this is - this is a veteran team and they need a sure hand right now that isn’t an *******.

    Man, ur giving our offense way too much credit. 0 chance we’re scoring 2 runs in B9 against their closer if game is 2-0.
