Yippee......how many rallies has he killed? How many one pitch outs right after the guy in front of him draws a walk? How many DP's has he grounded into by pulling the ball into the shift with the right side of the infield wide open? I give him credit for his hits. If he had any intelligence, he may be over 1800 by now. Damn guy, you act like nobody should have bad stints during their career. The guy has been mostly elite for several years now. He's having a rough season now, but I feel like he deserves a little less animosity. |

The current "bad stint" started the first game of the season and has continued with only a couple of interruptions. As I have said, his "elite years" are coming into question due to his current situation. He was protected when the scandal broke and everyone defended him saying he may have been the only guy who "declined" the help from the sign stealing. If any cheated......and the team was found guilty.....then ALL of them cheated, including Altuve, who looks guiltier by the day. People want to blast Springer and others for benefitting from the cheating and they probably did. The only way this little dumbass didn't benefit is if he didn't have the mental capability to absorb what he was given. My point is to stop giving him a free pass and making excuses for him while hammering other players. Jose's numbers have dropped off more than any of the others. |

I want to be sure some of you who think Altuve is sinless knows that one of us still thinks he may have cheated just like any of hte others who did. If he is just the great hitter most of you think he is, why has he sucked all season after the cheating was exposed? |

I do remember it being said that he benefitted a lot from it,and, he may have. My point is declaring Jose to be sqeaky clean is ridiculous. George has been better than Jose this season, but, not my much. The emergence of Kyle Tucker has saved our offense at times. Jose and George have both been disappointments offensively. With that said, I still think every effort should be made to re-sign George.....Yes, he is still as valuable as Jose, if not more. |

"Altuve’s first-inning hit was the 1,600th of his career, making him the sixth Astros player to reach that milestone, joining Craig Biggio (3,060 hits), Jeff Bagwell (2,314), Jose Cruz (1,937), Cesar Cedeno (1,659) and Lance Berkman (1,648)."

Remember, George isn't as valuable as Jose because he is on the IL too much. If he has to go on the IL, does this diminish his value? I hope the MRI comes back negative, but, if he Jose goes on the IL it is his own fault for making an unnecessary slide and doing it improperly. |

Altuve is listed as day-to-day. Early reports are that the MRI didn't reveal anything major.

It is interesting that I can't post an honest opinion based on what I see about a player without being accused of hating him and/or wanting him to be injured and out of the lineup. If I am wrong about the terrible season he is having, wrong about him having terrible AB's due to impatience or trying to pull whenever he swings, or wrong about his many mental blunders on the base paths, please point them out and I will admit my mistake. Comparing his career numbers with what he is doing now, means something is wrong or out of the ordinary. There is a difference in a slump, which all players experience at some point, or being in a slump since the season began 36 games ago. |

Since I keep "digging in", point out what I have dug up that is false information. |

Remember, George isn't as valuable as Jose because he is on the IL too much. Correct
If he has to go on the IL, does this diminish his value? Yes, everyone on the IL has diminished value. The more time on the list, the more diminution |

The more time on the list, the more diminution So, if Jose goes on the IL, George becomes more valuable? Remember last year when Jose was on the IL and George was playing, our offense was fine and we increased our lead in the division. When Jose played and George was on the IL, the offense was weaker. Therefore, if Jose goes on the IL now and George is in the lineup, we can watch and see how it affects our offensive production. If the offense stays the same or improves, that means that George is definitely more valuable than Jose. |

Let's dumb this down for you: If Jeriome Robertson went 15-9 in 2003 and Nolan Ryan went 8-16 in 1987, does that mean Robertson was more valuable than Nolan since the team won more when he played? |

If you go into the hospital, it doesn't mean Thomas has hemorrhoids. You are the guy who claims value is diminished when a player goes on the IL so,if that is the case, George has to be more valuable than Jose, who "can't stay on the field" because he is on the IL. I hope that wasn't too far over your head. |

Everyone knows Ryan is the all-time strikeout king, won over 300 games, and is in the Hall of Fame. Robertson was never considered to be successful. On the other hand, George and Jose have been teammates for several years, through good and bad times. So, it is easy to compare the success or failure of the team when those guys were on the IL. You have your way of comparing players and I have mine. I like mine and you like yours. Neither of us is totally right or totally wrong. |
