    Isn’t saying he has the yips a gimmick

    None of us know what’s wrong with Altuve for sure. At this point I think we all agree for whatever reason he shouldn’t be fielding but we still need his bat

    Altuve hit 5 homers during the regular season but already has 4 in the postseason! Somehow he contracted the Yips along the way lol. Hoping he does not become Chuck Knoblauch

    The most frustrating thing too is Dusty "joking" about Altuve having the yips after game 2. That's like telling my 2 year old: "don't spill the milk, im serious, no matter what, don't you dare spill that milk, you aren't spilling that milk are you? Just whatever you do don't SPILL THE MILK!!"

    Ok then. WTF are you repeatedly talking about "gimmicks"?

    Maybe he do...maybe he don't, but you don't know any more than anyone else does. RH batter (left arm leads, btw) not the same as a RH thrower, with regard to the right elbow.

    Why the **** are we even arguing?

    If Altuve is truly hurt... there’s absolutely no reason why he shouldn’t be the DH, and the current DH could be the 2B.

    Thus, I don’t think he’s hurt...

    Forget buzzers. It’s like there’s metal in the ball and these bastards have magnets for gloves

    Also. I HATE THIS ****ING **** FACE KIERMEYER. He has replaced 2017 yankees Todd Frazier as most unlikable, most punchable face.

    No matter that happens, just remember we were supposed to get swept by the Twins.

    There appears to be no known origin for the phrase cying over spilt milk.

    why would baker play him at 2nd if it were an injury. Surely he couldn’t keep hiding it after yesterday.

    i dunno. Seems mental to me but i guess we don’t really know

    It’s a game of inches. Luck plays a healthy role. We could have multiple championships but being contenders and in 4 straight AL championship series is what a dynasty looks like in the modern MLB. That 17 championship was legit and last years team is as good a baseball team as I’ve ever seen. They hold up to anyone. I’m good with that.

    Would Altuve even suggest to Baker he should DH or too much pride? Will want to keep playing so he could try to redeem himself?
