For all the sample size / clutch playoff performance skill conversations - you can’t just look at a single player to see if playoff clutchness is...
I feel like the Altuve experiment in LF failed - in addition to the defensive issues, it seemed like it threw off his routines offensively. I was...
1. Find another starter 2. Pray McCullers finds another 2-3 mph over the winter and can consistently throw strikes 3. Look for a new manager 4....
I know it wasn’t the World Series, but I really enjoyed this: [IMG] Altuve’s ALCS winning home run in 2019.
We’ve had terrible first base play for 4 years now. I’m sure if this was a realistic option they would have explored it. There have been...

Let’s be real, the Astros losing 5 in a row to Seattle and Oakland is what hurts. If they win even 2 of those games…
Guardians on the board at least.
Best outcome for today would be Astros hold on to win and both the Ref Sox and Tigers loose. I believe the Astros would still control their...
Correa’s career high in home runs is 26 and Meyers is 13. Why are you expecting them to be things they aren’t? They were both above average...
Correa is not the problem. In 48 games as an Astroin 2025 Correa has put up 1.1 bWAR and a 114 OPS+. That’s on pace for a little under 4 WAR on...
I tend to think most professional athletes are incredibly self motivated even if their team is not in contention and poor performance is usually...
