At this point (actually before this point) I'd probably just fire the manager. Might not light a spark, but where's the downside risk?

Of course, many will scream Espada doesn't deserve to be canned. I guess I get it. Then again, as ol' Bill Munny said....

clint eastwood Deserve's got nothing to do with it. GIF

I don't love the pitchers getting hammered in two games, but that isn't what bothered me the most during this series.

The absolute lack of fight at the plate and lack of situational awareness was stunning from a team that has some guys who are supposedly familiar with playing important games this time of year.

As far as Espada's lineups, fuck him.  Seriously I know McCormick isn't good, but he isn't Melton bad and they don't need to see much more to see he is horribly overmatched.

I just don’t understand the need to completely shuffle the lineup every single fucking game. Build some damn consistency.

we'll have to call up sugarland guys to have a bullpen tomorrow 

The problem is all of the Sugarland guys are wearing Astros jerseys already.

He's a distilled version of all of Dusty Baker's faults.

Kyle Tucker might be costing himself some money this season.
I looked both these up this morning because i knew he had been struggling (so these are prior to todays games). Tucker and Cam recent splits

When the A's move to LV, I think it will be Astros, Rangers, A's, Rockies, and Arizona.

That would mean Seattle, Dodgers, Angels, Giants, and Padres on the West Coast.

Look at it how you want, but this team still has the 3rd best record in the AL and the 5th best in baseball.  There is only one team in MLB that's on a separate tier right now, and I'm not sure if what they're doing is sustainable.

Fine to make whatever assumptions, but Manfred said:

“I think it’s pretty clear that we need a team in the Eastern time zone and one in the Western (or) Mountain time zone to make our formats work.”

And all this is to guarantee ESPN gets multiple east coast playoff series and west coast playoff series.  😠

 

No way they split LAD/SF or CHC/STL.
