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 anyone can make things dumber, it's you. That comparison hasn't got a damn thing to do with George and Jose. Nice try, smart ass. Sure it does. You're saying that the team winning more with Springer (which I don't believe is accurate btw) means he is more valuable. Therefore a lesser pitcher with more wins means he is more valuable. That's YOUR thought process at work. |

Now there is a NathanGarza-level question, and possibly the dumbest thing you've ever written. 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. It's not over anyone's head. It's just dumb. George's value is affected by George's (excessive) time on the IL...not by Altuve's time. |

I repeat.......the team's offense is hurt more by the absence of George than by the absence of Altuve. I realize that Altuve is the team golden boy and his blunders are ignored because of it. |

Altuve is listed as day-to-day. Early reports are that the MRI didn't reveal anything major. Great news. Only an idiot would want him to be injured or accuse me of being happy if he went on the IL. 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. You give us no choice to think you root against Altuve. You constantly bash and belittle him.... Case in Point: 8/29 - he goes 2 for 4 9/1 - he goes 2 for 5 9/2 - Springer walks first AB. Altuve gets out his first AB...and after just one AB, you go back to your old routine, criticizing him. The Astros only got 3 hits that day...Altuve had one of them, he was 1-4 All you do is put him down, saying the same sh*t each time.... Only an idiot would think you are not Anti-Altuve. |

I have no control over what you think and what you think doesn't bother me. If pointing out mistakes of Altuve or any other player means I am bashing them, then, my definition of bashing differs from yours. I point out what I believe to be mistake by Altuve and other players. Altuve is considered as the face of the franchise so he gets a pass from most of you no matter what he does. It's the "same sh*t each time" because he continues doing the same thing over and over. He never learns from his mistake and never makes adjustments. He is either stubborn or stupid in that regard. Any player who does the same exhibits the same traits. No player in baseball gets picked off first base as much as Altuve. Yet, that is OK because he's being "aggressive". There is a difference in being aggressive and being just plain dumb. But, since I point this out when I see it, I'm "anti-Altuve" even though I point it out when others do the same. I am anti being a dumbass.........not anti-Altuve. |

I am sending out positive vibes for our leader, Altuve. As he goes, so does the team. I love Bregman, Springer and others, but Altuve is the heart and soul of this team.

Hey everybody, look at the Biden voter! Look at the dumbass who thinks not watching games hurts MLB. I don't know about you but there is no device on my TV that allows anyone to know whether I am watching baseball or Fox News. Unless you participate in polls, nobody knows if you watch or not. |

Thought you could read. I said plainly that Altuve’s value is affected by Altuve being on the IL. So,if a guy goes on the IL, he his value is diminished and should be traded........I guess that means we need to get rid of Jose, George, Bregman, Verlander, and Correa. All have been on the IL. The guy we have missed the most if Verlander and I doubt if anyone here wants him traded. A guy going on the IL can show exactly how valuable he is to the team when he is NOT on the IL and performing as usual.Some players are missed more when they go on the IL.....we missed Correa a lot last year when he was on it as well as missing George when he was. We missed Altuve but not to the degree we missed the other two because the team's offensive output did not decrease when he was out. |

So I know the focus has been on his defense for two of the four games, but I thought it was worth it to put this out there.
Altuve's projected totals for a full season's worth of his postseason numbers:
48 HR 105 RBI 124 Runs 197 Hits .297 AVG .924 OPS

And at some point, Altuve can't be held responsible for the pitchers giving up HRs, hitting multiple batters, or walking people. He was responsible for the two runners being on base when McCullers gave up the home run..we lost by those two runs. Altuve made the error that opened the door for the five runs in game three. Urquidy induced a potential DP ball that Altuve threw into left field and Baker responded by pulling Urquidy and bringing in relievers that let the game get away......Jose Altuve and Dusty Baker combined to throw away game three. Dusty may have learned from the mistake when he stayed with Greinke last night. Had he had the same confidence in Urquidy, we may have overcame Altuve's throwing error. Dusty Baker showed why I want him fired......He has a history of making blunders with his pitchers that end up losing games. Game three of this series is a prime example. Get rid of him. |

It is as much the pitcher's responsibility to pick up his defense as it is for the defense to pick up the pitcher. |
