The "dry humper" gets a nice pinch hit. Then gets his ass thrown out at the plate due to a terrible lead off second base. Did he get on base, though? |

I think I'll go pound Rob Roys in the Bushwood lounge with Bishop Pickering I thought you didn't like DPs. |

"Aww, dat don't matter, he's the minister of defense huhuhu" and you are the minister of ridiculous comments about him while ignoring others who don't do squat...........by the way,did you notice the great return of Altuve. First time up, another DP ball to kll the inning. Finished 0-4 and still moving his damn feet in the box. He never makes adjustments at the plate which is either a sign of being hard-headed or being a dumbass. |

I’m as tired of the pitchers grooving hittable pitches as I am with this offense. True, but when your closer hasn't pitched in a week, he may not be sharp. |

Disappointing return for Altuve. Hopefully he gets it going next game. He will get it going. He picked up right where he left off before going on the IL......DP balls and weak ground outs. We need Springer's bat back in the lineup. |

We said that before his stint on the IL too. We're approaching the halfway mark. He is not overrated. I am not sure about that, but, he is hitting near . 230 after today and looks just as bad at the plate as he did before he was injured. |

When you put up two runs against a last place team you can expect to lose. This lineup was screwed from the beginning.......Alvarez has been our most productive bat for a week and Hinch sits his ass on the bench..

They should’ve won on a throw home, but Brantley made the ugliest throw.

I am not sure about that, but, he is hitting near . 230 after today and looks just as bad at the plate as he did before he was injured. If you would ask me what is greater chance to happen now, Altuve finishing the season with an above .290 average or Marisnick finishing sub. 21O average, I am betting on Altuve....and that means Altuve has to pick-it-up and Marisnick has to keep being Marisnick of late... BTW - I just love how people are quick to throw away top proven players after they are not producing, or coming off an injury..A couple years ago Altuve went hitless in his first two games or so...And I think that year he won the MVP... |

Jake wasn't the one who failed to get a lead off second with two outs.....that is on the dry humper who will be gone and Jake will stay. Straw should be getting Jake's starts but Hinch keeps going to Jake so that probably menas Straw will go back to RR unless we can let Kemp go do his dry humping act somewhere else. |

I agree with your points......Jose will probably hit .290 or better and Jake looks like crap....I would go with Straw over Jake at this point. I am not suggesting we throw away Altuve or anyone else......He has proven his worth. He just needs to wake up and make adjustments at the plate. Watch his feet and you will see part of his problem. |

Judging from the waty Hinch kept him out of the lineup,. my guess is straw goes back down and that is a bad move. He and Stubbs need to stay. |

I know his numbers are not there yet, but he gets good contact on the ball...just unlucky for now... |

Keeping Stubbs is a much better option than wasting more time on Stassi. |

Keeping Stubbs is a much better option than wasting more time on Stassi. People forget how many years those two have been on the team. It’s not like they been given one chance. White and Stassi are bench players at best, and (as with Marisnick) they’ve had way too many starts. Kemp is a bad defender, but his value is in his hitting, which has taken a turn for the worse this season. After further consideration, I would dump him and White and keep Stubbs and Straw. If there’s space, I’d demote Marisnick for Tucker as well. |

Stassi may have been around a while, but I think it's important to point out that he has just now played enough games to be considered a full season's worth for his career. And in that full season he has hit 12 HR 41 RBI with a .305 OBP and 86 OPS+. Certainly not amazing numbers, but when you factor what he has done with the pitching staff and his salary, that's not bad performance for a catcher, at least a backup catcher.
And Tyler White has played basically, 1.5 seasons. In which he has been an above-average (although not amazing) hitter for about $2 million. Meanwhile, in the same amount of years (4) Gurriel has been almost identical from a percentage standpoint. (.754 OPS compared to .757, with both having a 106 OPS+) Yet, he has been paid $39 million. But people want to complain about White for some reason... Maybe if he had pineapple hair instead of a beard? I don't know....
In the end, we need both White and Stassi to do better than they are right now if they want to stay on the team, but both of them have been better than most people make them out to be if you really look at the whole picture, not just their AVG.

The problem with this type of defense of White is that you're suggesting there is this huge fanbase out there crowning Yuli the King of Baseball or something. I don't know a single person who thinks Yuli is worth his money...but whether he is or not, it doesn't have any effect on whether White sucks. |
