How Much Blame Does Espada Truly Deserve

I see this tossed around ALOT, both here and other social media, that if the Astros miss the playoffs, Espada should be fired

Now, myself personally, I find it asinine to fire a manager who by all accounts is dealing with a lost season due to injuries and his second best pitcher checking out and still has the team in the playoff hunt in a field full of far healthier teams.

THAT SAID. I agree that the hitting coaches and philosophy need an overhaul, and Cintron/Snitker need to go. And if Espada won't get behind that, then I can agree with that. But of all the issues this season, I blame Espada the least.
