We cannot exempt Espada from responsibility.

Espada and managemet are responsibles of this disaster. He made so many weird experiments as Altuve as LF. Then when it seemed that the lineup was working stable 2 weeks ago, he started making changes again and again. Moreover the fact that the Astros didn't take an available player like Eugenio Suarez who was a cheap option that could give stability to the Team. Then Espada was like juggling all the season. This season, two teams that would have done a lot in the playoffs were left out due to poor management: Houston and Atlanta.
