Sorry but Chunky Swing isnt cutting it.
And Jesus H Christ Stassi please dont let him hit ever again.
Yordan for Governor
P.S. I get it there on a winning streak.
Leave it alone. I say No. Take away the Big fat Guppie and let see Yordan

Also just watching the Great Guppie bat makes me sick to my stomach. It like watching the kids swing at Pinatas blind folded and spun a half dozen times.
Its sad

So let's see, if we bring up Alvarez to replace White, White has to be designated for assignment and every other club in the major leagues would leap at the chance to get him. In other words after 27 at bats you are ready to kick to the curb someone who has worked his back side off all these years to get to this spot. Good thing you are not making the calls or Bregman might now in the other clubhouse.

Good thing you are not making the calls or Bregman might now in the other clubhouse. The problem with Guppie is he is getting fatter. He needs to lay off the cheeses and start working on his bat. But yes i would expose him sorry I would. If you watch him its running the bases its like watching the lady from the Movie "Us" running down the hall ways in her red Jammies. He acts like he doesnt care. He is the easy out along with Crapassi |

With the money he’s making and the access to fitness facilities as well as dietitians, there’s no excuse for him to be so big. This is especially the case because he’s a fringe AAAA player who could be replaced by someone more consistent at the plate. |

His swing looks very slow. And his base running wow I would expose him and see if someone waste a spot on there roster for an overweight Dh. Yordan is the guy who needs at bats. Tucker needs single A |

Weight and your core thickness will slow down a swing. What he needs long term is to get with a new trainer who will work him to keep the strength and lose the thickness through his core. He has always been slow even when his fat% was below 12.

I feel it's important to point out that White is maintaining a consistent AVG and OBP comparative to his norms. It's the lack of power so far that is the issue, and power has always been something throughout the minors and the majors that he has demonstrated. He's had 30 inconsistent plate appearances...let's not go overboard yet.
I agree he looks chunky as shit though.

I say see where he is by may 15th.
If he is still below the .150 avg line. Astros should call Richard Simmons in or send Guppie down

He's had 30 inconsistent plate appearances...let's not go overboard yet. I agree he looks chunky as shit though. White said that he is trying to hit the ball to CF and RF more, and one of the consequences of that is sacrificing exit velocity. I'm still not convinced that his quest to cut down on his Pull% is a good idea. Maybe it will pay off for him long-term, maybe not. Theoretically, there should be some value in spraying the ball to all fields and not being so predictable for the defense. In some off-season radio interviews, White talked about his passion for golf and how much he enjoyed rocking back a few beers with the fellas down at the country club. He really needs to stay off the suds (esp during the playing season). They're just useless calories, and tend to cloud the mind, which you don't want when you are trying to get a hit off Aroldis Chapman. He's got a cute little girlfriend who probably cooks for him, but he needs to tell her to cut out all the pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and transition to something the team dietician recommends. |

White is on track to get about 280 PAs this season. I could see it varying between 200 and 300 PAs in his final 2019 stat line depending on things like performance at the plate, in juries to teammates, and team strategy.
If HInch could favor using White in situations where there is a lefty on the mound (which is about 35% of the time), that would help White keep his numbers high. His current OPS vs lefties for this season is .866 and I don't think anyone would be disappointed with that as a final 2019 stat. The question is how well he will start hitting righties, esp if he keeps up this campaign to avoid pulling the ball. He may be better advised to just embrace being a pull hitter and drop some bombs into the Crawford Boxes.
I wouldn't be too inclined to make summary judgment about White's future with the team until he has at least 150 PAs this season. Right now he is only up to about 30 so I'd hardly want to see him DFA'd given how well he has performed the past couple seasons.
The next game vs a LHSP is in a few days agaist Smyly of the Rangers. Let's see if White can do some damage in that game.

By June 15th if Alvarez is still hitting and Kemp is still kind of underperforming then Alvarez would make much more sense than either Kemp or Tucker all other things being even.

My god
Its so sad watchong him swing the bat. Hinch has even said he isnt doing well.
But doesnt wanna tell him to hit for more power because he fills it could really mess with his psyche.
Yordan should be DH and OF. But might have to move to 1B.

It could finally be time.
Recent chatter says all Eyes are on White, Kemp and Stassi.....
Says Astros could be looking to move on if they could get some help with the Bats.
Yordan Alvarez should be at the top of that list... Straw could be another.
But that Catching postion I have no clue.
STRAW is getting plenty of playing time at both SS and CF. Batting over .300 avg.

My guess is the Astros won't be able to extend Correa... training Straw to be the everyday SS in a post-Correa Astros world is a smart thing to do. |
