    I don't think anybody is being overpaid I do think Jose Altuve is way underpaid if we want to keep him long term I would resign him asap

    Your first post advocated the following lineup changes. It is important to note, that your changes were not made. Stupid Hinch stayed the course and produced the best month of baseball in Astros history. They have become one of the few teams in divisional play history to have a double digit game lead entering June.

    Lets revisit your ridiculous premise for lineup changes:

    Against RHPs:

    Aoki (.300 lefty)
    Reddick (.297 lefty)
    Altuve (.326 hitter)
    McCann (.279 power hitter)
    Yuli (.329 avg)
    Beltran/Gattis (DH)
    Springer (hit or miss)
    Correa (less pressure here)
    Gonzo/Bregman (platoon)


    Against LHPs:

    Springer (bats right)
    Bregman (.250 righty)
    Altuve
    Gattis (.321 power hitter)
    Yuli (hottest hitter in MLB)
    Beltran (DH or LF)
    Marisnick (.286 avg)
    Correa (.233 avg)
    Gonzo (LF or DH)


    Now let's all have a good laugh. Incidentally, Jim Crane has played golf with President Obama only two more times than I have.

    I do not call the shots for the Astros. I have no business agreements with GM-Hinch. I have business agreements in place with the UT system.

    So are you lying now or were you lying when you wrote this:

    I bet it burns you up that I called the shot (Wheeler for Lidge) that got the Stros to their first ever World Series.

    As you know that batting order was updated 2 days later with high and low RISP players. You and your loser gang can't touch it! http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/batting-order-updated.282440/

    So your argument is a to reference another of your suggestions that wasn't used? They teach you how to argue at Amistad Consulting school?

    The team has overcome Hinch's baffling top of the batting order. And your job is to crush any dissent?
