    ikr. My favorite player is being booed, can't be cause of anything substantial. wtf

    People who focus on race look for it. And when you look for it you find it. And when you find it you dwell on it. And when you dwell on it you ruin your life and the life of those who care about you. Don't be that guy. Stop looking for stupidity.

    Minnesota Fans accept Carlos Correa but Jose Altuve gets Booed and when he gets hit by a pitch Minnesota Fans cheer.

    Claiming racism when it doesn’t exist hurts the cause. He is being booed because casual and irrational fans think the Astros only won because of the cheating and they think booing Altuve is fun and gives them an opportunity to try and affect his play on the field. The laugh is on them, because I think he feeds off it, rather than resents it. Altuve is a special person on and off the field. One of the classiest baseball players of all time as well as a hall of fame worthy player.

    Someone on the Twins should get drilled today, especially if we have a reasonably comfortable lead.

    Absolutely. We are missing Altuve today because of their bullshit jealousy beaning.

    Gotta make em pay. Take out 2 of their players. If not today then tomorrow for sure.

    I'm fine with that. As long as we still win the series, I would want a bit of an eye for an eye.

    We do need to add an extra bat at the deadline. Even with Altuve and Tucker back, I want us to be 9 deep and Singleton, Loperfido, and McCormick do not foot the bill. We have to be demonstrably better offensively with our suspect oft-injured and young pitching staff. Relying on Blanco, Arrighetti, and Brown to be able to handle the load and hoping Verlander, Framber, and Garcia are firing on all cylinders is wishful thinking. I hate that we will have to again sell off our prospects, but we need to be swinging for the HR the next 2 years. Getting an Ace and 1b for the next 2 years is tantamount.

    2024 Stanek - 3.57
    2024 Neris - 4.11

    Hader isn't doing too hot -- but he's at least trending upward, I think.

    3 HR’s last 5 outings. Hader has to stop that ****. Dude has given up 7 bombs through July 5th. That must be corrected.

    Last year at the game three playoff game in Target Field I showed up with my Altuve jersey and sure enough in the concourse some
    Guys started yelling “Cheater!!” I turned to them and said “but you love Carlos Correa” and they said “of course” and shut up after that.

    anyway even last night i had to tell someone who is a very good friend that most evidence is that Altuve didn’t cheat and even Correa has said that and in the meantime Altuve has not distanced himself from Correa, Springer, or any of the other players in that 2017 team.

    The reason why Altuve gets so much hate is because he was and still is the face of this Franchise and also because so much of the Yankee and Dodger fan base hate him. That spreads to the rest of the MLB.

    He also needs to be grateful Rake Farm is a neighbor who robs.

    What world do you live in?

    Altuve is the leader of the Stros, he catches crap from opposing fans for the cheating scandal because of this. Race has nothing to do with this.

    Seems like it may be time to call Whitley up and have him hit Correa. If he gets suspended you really aren't missing much.

    What is a reasonable comfortable lead?

    If we plunked anyone in the 9th last night it would have meant extra innings.
