Ok, ok, ok, a win is great and everything but can we go back to Walker’s at bat where the TV guy says “He’s not just up there to lift and separate right now…” Was that an 80s bra commercial reference?

Espada pulling two of his five or six major league quality hitters in the late innings for defense and speed almost bit him in the ass, but I’m glad it worked out. Much needed win.

To be fair to Espada, I think both of those moves were correct in the moment. Espda has done an excellent job this year imo

Bennett Sousa did some manly things this game.

They were both the right moves.

I think he’s managed his ass off all year. The front office and Josh Miller get a lot of credit for this team being where it is but Espada should get a ton of credit too. This team has no business being in first place and 18 games over .500

Wasn’t I complaining about Short just the other day when in the exact same situation he had several opportunities to take pitches on the outer edge the other way?

Well, seems like he learned something because he did it today, that’s the long and short of it.

I wasn’t saying Espada has done a bad job. They have no business being 56-39 with all these injuries. As you said, Abreu and Hader not holding things down for one of the few times this season was the problem.

I would have liked to see Short try to steal second in the ninth with one out and Yainer up.

“They have no business being 56-39”

Their “pythagorean” bs win/loss is 55-40

You’re welcome.

Your sacrifice will not be forgotten. In short term, nor the long term
