    I've never seen Altuve as absolutely lost at the plate as he's been this year, he has no business being in the lineup right now.

    I think we all are frustrated with the way Altuve is playing, but advocating for the benching of Altuve is just dumb.

    Pitchers don't need to throw Altuve a strike for the foreseeable future and just watch him flail at sliders a foot off the plate.

    It's very common for players to get a quick trip on the DL for "unexplainable suck" in order to try and fix whatever is going on. IMO that's what Altuve needs.

    Toro down to a .118 avg. If Yordan, Springer, and Brantley are all hurt at least see what Taylor Jones can do.

    Literally all sliders thrown that inning other than Yulis hit. Could have won on walks.

    The Astros pitching has been a pleasant surprise this year overall even with the injuries. The lineup right now is a joke outside of Bregman, Correa and Gurriel. Altuve looks like he needs to go see a sports psychologist to get his mind right.

    Leadoff walk in extra innings. Let the 2020 extra innings curse continue.
