    A serious conversation on Christian Walker needs to be happening soon. This is excruciatingly painful to watch.

    It was like 2 weeks ago he missed a few games with a hamstring issue…

    Maybe it’s a combination of good pitching and bad hitting.

    Vic the dick! Wherever he wants. Also Peña. He needs to stop being soft.

    I’d would’ve never believed it had you told me we could do Abreu all over again with Walker but it’s happening.

    Guillorme couldn’t hit a 93 mph FB down the heart of the zone

    There’s no conversation to be had. For one, they don’t have some huge upgrade waiting in AAA or sitting on the bench. Secondly, they’re going to give it more than a half a season before pulling the plug. Finally, remember Jose Abreu actually hit well for us in September and the playoffs - it’s not out of the realm of possibility Walker can do the same.

    He got wrung up on a ball but I can’t even be mad at the ump. He’s like get this quad a **** out of here- you are sullying the game.

    How can we keep signing declining 1B for 3 year deals?

    So- last year we were worth -14 runs at 1B and it was probably even more than that as a 1B can cover up for other ****.
    It’s not an accident that infield defense is so much better this year with Walker. We have nobody in AAA better than him, I promise.

    Hummel and Trammell need to go bye bye.

    Alvarez and McCormick please hurry.

    i've said it before and i'll say it again. i do not like hummel out in LF.

    with that said, he'll make a 4 or 5 star catch today.

    Why can't we try Alvarez at 1B? Got to be someone batting .250 or above that can play there....Walker is just horrible.

    And still hitting 3rd, there's the reason the Stros have struggled to score runs lately.

    Because he cannot play 1B, even if he had functional knees.

    Actually you're the one giving p***y vibes suggesting Paredes desperately needs a game off playing defense.

    How soft are you? Lol

    That's what she said.

    He’s made of glass and his body doesn’t bend. They tried it and it was a complete and total no go.

    Walker can at least still catch a ball...
