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).
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.
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?
