    This team has abysmal pitching and no plate discipline. Good luck to those who think last year wasn't a fluke :cool:

    KC wins on one swing in the 1st inning :eek:

    Our pitchers seem to surrender an abnormal amount of multi-run HRs, while our bats do the contrary.

    The only thing keeping George away from greatness is between the ears. He is often indecisive and doesn't trust himself. He also continually harms his swing by not keeping on his feet.

    I don't think baseball is for you, I'd find a different sport to follow, post-haste.

    In the 8th, he miss a very good pitch to hit, out.
    In the 9th, K without swinging.

    That 9th inning was ugly, who did the worse? Gattis? Altuve? Springer????

    Springer has that overrated look to him as his career progresses on. Not quit living up to his minor league hype.

    Gattis sucks. He sucked last year and he does not deserve to play 100 games, much less 150.

    .285 OBP for a DH last year, he was the worst in the AL

    Unless he becomes a catcher soon, he has no value whatsoever. A platoon of Tucker/Duffy would perform better and be cheaper.

    3 runs against the MLB champs? That's too many runs? What about last night?

    Altuve swings at Ball 4, while Springer looks at Strike 3 right down the middle.... smmfh

    Not to mention the baserunning mistakes. We GAVE away at least 4 outs this game.

    Dang it!
