Why is Joe Espada not out of the dugout arguing that was ball three?

and my other question - What the fuck is frush

MLB umpires suck, and Joe Espada is asleep at the wheel.

Apparently there was a timer violation but I saw no signal of one.

Anyway, I think the Ferguson experiment should be coming to an end.

Also, why are you getting cute after taking the lead in the 7th and not bringing in Abreu? Espada’s decision-making drives me nuts.

Pitch timer violation before first pitch thrown

Fair enough.

Why is Ferguson pitching in a close game, especially one that the Stros are winning?

You could have said the same about Ort starting the 7th inning with the Astros now ahead. Abreu or Tayler Scott should have been in from the start of the inning.

He’s saving Abreu for extra innings.

Maybe Pressly isn’t available tonight and Abreu is slotted for the 8th? Idk but it’s fucking weird

Ort has pitched pretty damn well in his limited time this season, so no, I wouldn’t say the same.

Perhaps, but it’s August 9 and the Astros have to win every day from here on out. At least go to Scott to start the seventh if you have Abreu penciled in for the eighth due to Pressly being unavailable.

This is not O Tay - Buckwheat wants none of Devers

Ort is not one of the Astros primary relievers, yet. Considering yesterday was an off day, I stand by my statement that he shouldn’t have started the seventh inning after the Astros took the lead.

That said, he got his man in Rafaela.

I’d like to kick Espada in the nuts.

Tayler Scott just bailed Espada out.
