Altuve is getting scary close to being a below average offensive player this year. Did the sudden wealth get to his head and he no longer has the Drive. Or is he really starting to have an early regress in his ability to play baseball. There has to be something. You don't go from being one the top 5 to being in the bottom Rung. |

White has 177 at bats and 62 K’s. Has a WAR of -0.6 Do you think White realizes how bad he has been and is on the verge of being DFA? |

Altuve is getting scary close to being a below average offensive player this year. I know it will never happen, but until Jose starts hitting and as long as Bregman is getting on base, but can’t get a hit with RISP, I would like to see Bregman in the #2 slot behind Springer; Brantley at #3 and Alvarez at #4. |

Rangers lost again today. Lead can be 6 1/2 games with a W.

Stassi with a couple of nice swings today. They showed his impressive frame rate earlier. Would be nice if he could start being a decent hitter again to go with it.
Ouch, bad luck for Straw.

Time after time after time this bloated underachiever strides to the plate in RBI situations and fails to deliver. He’s a waste of a roster spot. Get out. They would, but transportation back to Round Rock has become a logistics challenge.   |

Altuve is getting scary close to being a below average offensive player this year. You’re like the mainstream liberal media...someone starts talking about something they don’t want to hear, they create a red herring to distract attention from it. Everyone else: White is a shitty fat ass! Cut him! Saint: Altuve is the worst player on the team! lmfao |

Three hit day for Altuve. Three outs for a sweep.

If he doesn't know he is gone when Diaz and/or Correa return, he is an idiot. Three more K's today and he leaves guys on base at a record pace. In short, he is a joke. |

Glad to see that you realize htat the "shitty fat ass" White needs to be cut......three more K's today and continues leaving runners on base.....He is a damn disgrace to the Astros organization. We have to wonder why Hinch chose to bat White 5th in the lineup behind Alvarez......We saw how it could backfire when Alvarez gets the intentional walk because the Mariners knew an automatic out was on deck. |

Saint supports giving cheap controllable players a chance when they've shown success in the past. Saint stopped supporting White a while back when he showed no improvement and got to be June. Saint doesn't believe in being an asshole to all of the Astros when they slump. Saint worries about Altuve's drop in production but still likes the guy.
If people are going to speak for Saint, get shit right.

I wanted to give you another chance to bash him and show how little you know about Jake's value to this team. And you are WRONG about him sucking for 3 solid weeks............Over the last seven games he is 4-13 which means he has hit better than Altuve, Bregman, and Brantley during the same period of time. Over his last 15 games,. Jake is 12-40 for a .300 average which is better than Altuve and Bregman and dead even with Brantley..........A lot of guys would to "suck ass" like Jake has done for 3 weeks.  Not to mention he plays a gold glove caliber CF. |

If people are going to speak for Saint, get shit right. I share your concern about Altuve. He doesn't hit to all fields as he has in the past and tries to pull too often which results in DP balls and popups. A guy with his speed needs to take more pitches so he can see better pitches to hit and draw more walks. His drop has not been gradual.....it has been a quick downhill slide. |
