    It would be a lot easier to accept if he was the only one in the lineup doing it. We've got too many of them in the lineup...Pena, Altuve, Dubon and Yainer all have the same similar shitty ass approaches man. They all have awful chase rates.

    Diaz has 12 GIDP.
    OPS+ of 93.

    He might be marginal better in hitting, but hitting is not everything you ask from a catcher.

    Diaz really is one of the dumbest hitters

    The hitters Hinch had were considerably better. You aren't going to change the DNA of these hitters (Altuve, Yainer, Pena, and Dubon) - they are always going to be free swingers, chase pitches out of the zone, and swing early in counts because they are incapable of working an AB.

    This is why I don't want to see anyone mention trading Paredes again. We need more hitters in the lineup with his approach.

    That's where I'm at.

    I truly believe Joe Espada is gonna be 0-4 in his playoff career. At that point, you make a change.

    With all these change ups, we need to be stealing bases here.

    But Joe believes in station to station baseball only.

    I'm still not over that bases loaded double play by Yainer. What an absolute clown. He is representative of everything wrong with the Astros poor offensive approach this season.
