    He schedules days off and tends to stick to it. It's not like it's the last game of the year and they need to clinch.

    Was about to comment why Altuve wasn't in the lineup. Let him rest after they clinch.

    Ya I get that it's a scheduled day off but I certainly would've played him today w the division up for grabs in front of the home crowd.

    Giving him a day off today, gives him two days off in a row with tomorrow's off day.

    Losing this game would be the most Astros thing to happen ever.

    Why do they have to wait to clinch to rest? Clinching is a given. Shouldn't change decisions based on something that's already assumed.

    I hope this kid turns out good and I have to hear this name for a while.

    But I will never like hearing it.

    I think Altuve deserves to play in the game where they clinch a division for the first time in several seasons. He's gone through the dark ages with the club so it would be sweet for him to play in the division clinching game.

    I hate that rule. Simply send the runner back to to first if there is interference unless he is thrown out.
