Ok.
He was getting reps there in spring training, but I have no idea what came of that. My guess is that they determined he was not ready for prime...
Honestly, I want Yainer playing at the expense of either Maldonado or Abreu. I'm just trying to be more realistic, since it's pretty clear that...
Although it might be too late at this point, in order to get Yainer in the lineup every day, he needs to get more reps at 1st base. We know...
I would have Abreu, who currently is 132 out of 138 players in OPS, hitting 7th. But at least Dubon, ranked 122/138 in OPS, is at the right spot...
Please baby jesus god of baseball, let Javier get his groove and mojo back starting today. And please exorcise whatever demon possessed our...
Man, we are all just stupefied by what we just witnessed, so we need to cut each other a lot of slack as we air our frustrations. Sure, we...
That Singleton PH is probably the worst managerial decision I've ever seen by an Astros manager in all my years watching this team. And that is...
Dusty has had head scratching lineups all throughout his tenure with the Astros, but this year, perhaps empowered by winning it all and "beating"...
Chas should be in the lineup hitting 5th, with Abreu at 7th. Another head-scratching lineup from Dusty in the middle of a tight race, but at...
There is no logical explanation - Dusty needed a PH in the pitchers spot, so saving Dubon for that moment made the most sense (since Alvarez was...
So THIS is the game Dusty decides to play Diaz at 1B? Why couldn't we do this on the regular, so that we can see what his defense is like at 1B...
I get what you are saying, but just want to point out that while Abreu has been just as bad as maldy this year, Bregman is a winning player and a...
Hard not to be excited about this young dude, in this offseason, it seems he has: -added the Dirk -much smoother release on his jumper and...
Yes, it was a poor attempt at sarcasm - as he still gets booed for crimes he didn't commit, and we know how petty Yankees fans continue to be. So,...
Yeah, I am a Yankees fan registered at Clutchfans since 2004 waiting for *just* the right time to trash on Altuve. Nice job Sherlocks.
That's not what you wrote originally, but I'll let it pass, since we are all Astros fans here.
Cheater Altuve didn't have a problem taking off his shirt this time...
Dubon is a good infielder, and an awful outfielder. Why do we keep trying this? Is his bat so good it makes up for his awful outfield defense?
Do we know how Diaz's defense is at 1B? Is it so bad that platooning him with Abreu when he doesn't catch would compromise our defense? I wish...
