    Is he worse than AE was good at SS?

    Come on. I get what you're trying to say, but if you believe the stats they are showing, along with calling Altuve "sensitive" with out knowing anything about the guy is solid broadcasting, then we could not disagree more.

    Cherry picking showing stats from 17 to 20...but refusing to talk about how we went to the world series the year before?

    We deserve to be talked about for cheating, but don't cherry pick stats to try to push the cause. Also....don't just make us the single scape goat in all of this. The Red Sox were caught TWICE, the yankees were caught...but we are the only ones being talked about. That's what pisses off most Astros fans. We aren't trying to hide the fact we cheated. We did, it was pathetic to do it...but this is a joke.

    Yeah, I love how they compared 2017 to 2020 numbers in that chart, but completely left out out 2018 and 2019 as if those years didn't exist. "We'll let you draw your own conclusions here..." No, you're leading viewers by misrepresenting data that easily makes a point for you. It's bad, irresponsible data analysis. I'd kill for an offensive outburst at the end of this game just to shut them up...

    Considering how Rendon played against us in the WS hometown players haven't been doing us a lot of favors. I doubt Tyler Duffey is going to feel any hometown feeling.

    Yes..... but I still would have dealt AE for an average fielder who could swing the stick.

    Alright here we go. This is the inning the Astros explode and get their swagger back.

    As bad as the commentary has been, they arent lying about us completely losing our swagger offensively.

    I agree. You almost do just need to be the Patriots. Accept it, embrace the hate...and try and have fun out there.

    Jeter has 5 gold gloves. Advanced analytics > anything else to judge defense

    The Astros did deflate the baseballs tho'. All we need to do is get the owner a hand job to go full Patriot.

    Yes, analytics are important, I supported them 25 years ago.... but Buxton isn't a 10+ WAR player over his last 1000 at bats, I don't care what the advanced stats say.... he isn't THAT good....... reminds me of Jayson Hayward.

    A bloop and a blast for us can still open this thing up.

    The meatless part of the order is coming up with lamb chops on the base paths.
