    So a team full of professionals does a full evaluation, including "checking their gut" (which according to you is separate from regular evaluation and requires a different muscle), makes a decision, and then "checks their gut" again and reverses course?

    It happens all the time? When? Or is that just how you decide on things--make a decision and then reevaluate afterwards and hope you can back out?

    Read the article I posted... had more to do with besides what Gomez/Cespedes are each making this yar.

    And then you post your article that proves what you're flat-out "making up".

    Thanks.

    It's never over until Chris Carter swings.

    Carlos Gomez needs a day off. That is all.

    When you go 1-29, you need a day off. I don't care who the guy is. Tomorrow I hope to see Marisnick in center.

    Seriously, isn't Jake better than Gomez at this point?

    Man, this sucks. I really want this to be a good trade. I do. But thus far, I'm seeing nothing. Honestly, I'm dumbfounded at the number of homers that continue to defend this trade. Yes, it's only been barely over two weeks, but it has been an AWFUL two weeks of baseball by Carlos Gomez.

    For the sake of the Astros, I really hope he turns it around.

    That 1 for whatever stat they threw out in the game was wrong. He's now 2 for his last 25. Still, nothing to write home about. It'll turn eventually, but we need it sooner than later.

    You sure about that? Gomez is hitting sub-.200 at this point. At least Marisnick has consistently hovered around .230 and is dangerous on the bases. Add on that Marisnick is one of the best defensive centerfielders in all of baseball, and I'd at least put him back in the lineup for a couple of days. Let Gomez clear his head a bit.

    Yes... and if you want to salvage any shred of credibility, you'll keep reminding yourself of the sample size issue before posting anymore ridiculous speculative (bull****) arguments.

    Jake Marisnick has a .462 OPS since May 2.
