From a recent Nightengale article. I can say with confidence it's more than the two mentioned here.
Any insight into how much (if at all) vet players were consulted before Espada was hired? As an old-timer, this is starting to feel like the Terry Collins hire by Uncle Drayton back in the 90s.

Two quick comments since we're in the middle of a game:

Maybe Bregman back at cleanup is because of guys having days off yesterday and today?

Didn't everyone rave about Espada's communication in Spring?

Alex Cora would go over wonderful for both Astros fans and other baseball fans.

I'd like to proactively congratulate Flaherty on his 7.0 shutout innings. These guys are determined to make it happen any way possible.

That called strike 3 on Tucker was complete bull sh*t. And the type of situation where Espada has to show some fight and get ejected. Should have been 1st and 2nd 1 out with 2 of your best hitters coming up. Instead it's an inning ending double play.

I expect Francona would also be a candidate.

*preemptive anti-jinx* this is the best Verlander has looked all year. Surely we can get him some run support

I'd take Lou Brown at this point.

If he's healthy and get the go ahead, he's a no brainer and should be the only candidate

Can't remember where but I read somewhere he's already itching to get back in a clubhouse. I'd honestly be shocked if he isn't managing somewhere.

Given what was posted about Espada, wonder what the tipping point will be for getting some of the position coaches out of here

Verlander might as well grab a bat cuz he's going to have to win this game himself.

A lot of the marginal ump calls that went against us in the past it felt like we could get around with talent/execution. Feels like that is no longer the case, and an extra strike or ball here or there is not helping the cause. Especially with Bregs

Joe Espada has the energy of a team accountant not the manager.

Cora is not a good person and will never be a part of this organization again.
