And hopefully George and his .400 OPS for the series will start to pick it up again. Now is the wrong time for one of his monster cold streaks.

George's OPS hasn't been the problem. We need for George, dumbass, and the rest to step it up. We are getting great at bats from Bregman, who has little to show for them.....from Tucker and Correa. We have had good at bats from Altuve and a few from George in this series. Both were great against Oakland. One thing is we are facing better pitching in this series. With that said, we had numerous chances to win both games against the Rays. Leaving runners on base and in scoring position has been our downfall and it was greatly aided yesterday by sloppy throws from little Jose. |

Maybe they need to look at moving George down in the order due to his ineffectiveness this series. Since Altuve has an OPS over 1.000 this postseason, he's obviously our team leader and MVP. He sparks this offense.

LOL LOL LOL This is proof that you defend that little dumbass no matter how he screws up. George is still the MVP and sparkplug of the team. He didn't give game two away.....Altuve did. George will not be moved down in the order. Maybe we should use Altuve as DH and let Diaz play second base since Altuve can't seem to make a 60 foot throw to first base. |

But, George would never say anything like that. He has been leading off years. I keep getting laughs because Saint wants to bash George while refusing to admit Jose cost us game two with his sloppy throw before the Margot home run. |

I'm surprised there doesn't appear to be a thread on the topic of Springer leading off, considering all the times it's been discussed over the years.
It's kinda sad we're running out of opportunities to create one with him leaving for free agency after the season and all

He hasn't left for free agency as of now. I have read articles predicting that he re-signs with the Astros and I hope the articles are accurate. I wish we had a thread discussing the need to trade Altuve, if necessary, to free up money to keep Springer and Brantley and then try to extend Correa. |

Hopefully George gets a great deal with someone. It's a good thing we already have our MVP and spark in Altuve. He's the straw that stirs the drink.

You do know Altuve had 194 consecutive putouts this season w/o a throwing error...only 2b to accomplish that feat...but you keep on fighting the good fight. |

I wish we had a thread discussing the need to trade Altuve, if necessary, to free up money to keep Springer and Brantley and then try to extend Correa. That makes more sense than some of his ideas about trades and free agent signings. Seriously, if it meant we could re-sign Springer and Brantley plus extend Correa, I'd trade Altuve so fast it would make him dizzy. |

I never said he wasn't a good second baseman and that he hasn't made outstanding plays. That doesn't excuse a sloppy. half-assed throw that led to a three run homer that beat us. He cost us the game.......his previous performances has nothing to do with it. His carelessness got us beat. |

If you really are stupid enough to think Altuve is the straw that stirs the drink you need to lay off the hard stuff. He isn't close to our MVP. If we had to depend on him in the regular season, we would not have made the post season. But, you keep telling yourself he is the best we have if it makes you feel better. As I told you many times before, compare the offensive production of the team with Springer out of the lineup to that with Altuve out and you will see that George's absence is much more detrimental to our run production. Of course, you are too dense to admit it, but, the numbers don't lie. George is the MVP and spark of the team...the stats that you like to live by prove it. Now, prove me wrong. I don't know if the numbers are available, but, I guarantee you that NO player in either league has cost his team more runs due to baserunning blunders than Jose Altuve, especially when it comes to getting picked off first base and running into second or third outs at third base. George is the team MVP.......Jose is the team dumbass. |

I think the Astros only scoring one run until the ninth inning, when Springer added on another run, despite hitting into a dp....the lack of the Astros not hitting w/ RISP is what caused the game, same as it was in game 1....when Altuve's HR was the only run scored in that game... |
