    I really think Diaz is struggling upstairs and it’s causing him to press. He’s too good not to turn it around. I just hope he does it this season.

    Maldy is the Angel Hernandez of catchers... nice guy... but awful at his job.

    Yeah...he's "hitting" .079 going 0 for his last 23 in his last 8 games. Those stats make Abreu smile.

    WAR of -1.3.

    Don't understand the Maldy hate here. He's gone, move on. Besides, whining about his batting average is stupid, he was never known for his bat. Now Jose Abreu on the other hand can suck a bag of weiners.

    I don't get everyone that was pining for him several posts before mine. If they can dish it, so can I.

    Angel was terrible forever
    Maldy has just gotten old and declined.
    He’s still a legend in h-town

    Angel was an insufferable asshat, if he were just bad at his job nobody would have known his name. There were actually worse umpires than Angel.

    He should get a huge standing O when he comes back to Houston. Similar to Springer, Carlos, Yuli, etc.

    Maldy's sour grapes emanate a lot from his manager who insisted on playing him 75% of the time.

    It’s the same people constantly bringing up him and Dusty. They made the clutchfans annual >50% ignore list for a reason. It’s a weird fetish at this point.

    I asked this yesterday…. What’s Yanier’s numbers when he’s behind in the count? Can extrapolate to last year when he was awesome in stretches…. But at this point, if a pitcher is up 0-2 or 1-2, why would they even bother to throw anything resembling a strike?

    Why is Abreu starting against a righty?
