    The Maldy lovers completely ignore Christian's contribution to the playoffs and WS last year, including the no - hitter.

    Nobody is really a Maldy lover. It’s pretend. They think it makes them sound like they have a deeper understanding of the game or something. It’s pathetic.

    I think early on this year there were several on here who truly believed he was great defensively, great for the staff

    It's painfully obvious to everyone, even them, at this point that the guy is done being a successful mlb player. But they have to continue to defend him becuase they can't admit that they were wrong

    How did that work out for him -- Ann Richards, probably

    Absolutely. These same dudes will criticize the smallest mistake by Diaz but won’t say **** about any of the 1 million mistakes that maldy makes. Nothing but crickets. It’s incredibly annoying.

    I was one of those

    BSed on my faith and trust in the Astros organization and what players and coaches were saying.

    That's gone now - Scoreboard (and the panic of a fan that wants another deep playoff run)

    Can we end the singleton experiment? At least Abreu has a history of being an MLB hitter

    I didn't realize it, because of the production when he does hit the ball, until I ran those silly 162-game comparisons b/t players and Chas was at just about 190+ Ks
