    Yordan smashing, but they're all solo HR's. Never anybody on base to drive in.

    Great question. Only former player with managerial experience I can think of is Ausmus. Then you have your Biggio and Bagwells of the world. Martin Maldonado is in the Braves front office. I wouldn’t mind him at all out of all the ex-players. My guess is Omar Lopez would be named interim manager. The bottom line is Espada doesn’t get as much out of his players as he should and he needs to go asap.

    Everyone knows Espada isn’t the guy. I don’t see why they would drag this out. Rip the bandaid off and move on.

    The Astros go out and tie the game, which is going to make this extra innings loss feel even worse.

    Wtf Matthews you bust. And now we have a terrible hitter for the rest of the game instead of Paredes who just tied the game…

    Nice pinch running Matthews. Now they’ve lost E-sock.

    What's more embarrassing than having a pinch runner get picked off...?!

    This club really needs a walk-off win. Need that home plate celebration.
