That 2nd inning looked pretty rough.

Walk
Double (run scored)
single
single (run scored)
walk
GIDP (run scored)
single (run scored)
single
wild pitch, runners advance
single (run scored)
lined out to 2B to end the inning....

That's about as bad as it gets right there.

3rd inning he gave up a HR too... ouch.

Much like everyone else on this thread, I'm extremely bullish on White this year.

Just hand him a link to this thread. Tell him it's the best Astros dialog around and that he can gain a lot of managerial expertise from it. And ask him to pass it along to Luhnow for advice on personnel decisions. He can thank us later.

All we want in return is a suite every now and then.

If we're down in the latter innings of a game and we see him looking down at his phone, I'll just assume he's looking at Rally Kate.

Thoughts on this? If you are including Verlander and Randy Johnson on this list then Clemons has to be on here. Also Marwin as the #9 all time Astros is hilarious to me. My top 10 would be:

1. Altuve (best all around offensive player ever to wear an Astros uniform)
2. Bagwell
3. Biggio
4. Oswalt
5. Berkman
6. Clemons
7. Verlander (reserve the right to drop him to outside the top ten if he tanks this season)
8. Wagner
9. Caminiti
10. Kile

I still put the killer Bs in the top 3

Altuve at 4, Oswalt at 5

Altuve will get there quickly, I'd say 2 more elite seasons and he's there

It's an inexact science to weigh longevity vs consistent elite ness. But I'd still say Biggio as of now over altuve

Is it only in an Astros uni? Either way, you can't have Randy Johnson on it and Carlos Beltran not.

Or someone that appreciates great defense... but probably a chick.

Unpopular opinion here, but I'd put Adam Everett in at 20...only because the comments Roy Oswalt constantly made about his defense. His brilliance with the glove was overlooked in an era before advanced metrics really became a thing.

Got tossed by Angel Hernandez after one pitch in the bottom of the first. Must have dinner reservations.

Hinch was just showing George the proper way to get out of a night game early.

His glove wasn't overlooked. He made it and stuck around because of it. He's far from the top 20. Maybe top 50. Probably not.

These were the magic words that apparently got AJ tossed:

What I meant was he should have won multiple gold gloves (aka award for best hitting fielder who sometimes makes plays that look spectacular because they have poor range)

4 bad calls a game Angel? Pretty sure you broke that barrier at 1B in the playoffs last year.

Maybe he meant inning. We all know Angel isn't the most baseball savvy guy out there.

I'm sure Hernandez will sue Hinch for discrimination now.

Fire that piece of scat.

If what Hernandez said got AJ that fired up, it must have been pretty bad given how calm he always is. I hope there's some recourse that could lead to Hernandez finally being kicked to the curb. I know it's wishful thinking, but...

On another note, you had Angel Hernandez behind the plate and CB Bucknor at first. Are they trying to group all the worst umpires together on one crew? Was that fat piece of **** Joe West at second?
