    Absolutely inexcusable. As much on the coaches as anyone.

    Altuve was trying to make something happen. I don't mind it.

    Well, if we are going to hit someone, please not Fister, his fastball is the change up of Hamels.

    So are you saying Hinch should bench or "punish" Altuve? Please explain how.

    (and yes, Altuve is statistically the worst baserunner in the AL if not MLB).

    By that logic, why would you have any expectations?

    I don't have a problem with Altuve going for it, it's just frustrating after all the prior nonsense.

    First he should sit Gomez, way too many mental errors.

    Second, on Altuve, he needs to hold this guy accountable for his actions, and yes, if he continues to make stupid outs on the bases, make an example.

    Enough is Enough

    Now, IF EVERYONE is doing in it, then the real problem is manager and coaches, right????

    maybe our team IQ is just low. At some point the players have to take responsibility. They are professionals, they know that they have to be careful on the base paths, they can't check out like Gomez and make so many mental errors. I don't see how that is the coaches fault. Sure they can 'discipline' them more but again, you can't really fix stupid.

    Ortiz should have been suspended several games for such a stupid display.

    he wasn't going to hit .571 all season. Which meant regression. Which means a slump to balance out the peak. Doesn't mean he can't hit .300 for the season after he adjusts to their adjustments

    White will be a solid MLB hitter

    Those that thought his start meant he was gonna hit .400 are the same ones who want to cut half of the team right now

    Hinch, for the record, White has K twice tonight, and has already and 17 K in 48 at bats.
    So, next time you want to send Altuve and Springer, with a guy hitting .300 and over .450 OBP batting behind, think again, PLEASE.

    And why did you take Rasmus from the 4th spot??? Is .300 average not good enough for you?
