Of course Espada will get the blame, but as usual it feels like the organization never has a concrete plan for anything these days "Just leave him out there until they start hitting him" Maybe they did have a plan and Espada ignored it, but like a lot of other s**t if he keeps doing that why does he still have a job. One can only surmise most of his stupid ideas like multi inning Hader had the organizations support.
The Hader **** was Brown from the start. The whole multi-inning thing was discussed when they signed him IIRC. Fine, send Teng back out but FFS he was already 10 pitches above his max for the year so you have to have someone ready at the first sign of issues, he was obvious laboring but of course since no one was ready.
They probably could avoid it if they had some sort of plan for even the small day to day issues but they don't. It's as if they're surprised and caught off guard when the worst-case scenario occurs and they're flat footed.
Joe: "They never fit, I don't get it" Pam: "Fail, luck, quit, sh*t, f*ck, ball, strike, bunt, fall, harder, save, out, none of those are five letter words Joe"
He may not "fix" the staff but a manager who's better at working around or with a bad staff will make multiple calls that could put you in a better postion for a W on a day to day basis and in a shitty division that matters. Pretty sure he's not going anywhere right now.
If I didn't know better I'd say that was Steer's father-in-law that threw that pitch to him in the HR derby, talk about teeing it up....
