Altuve looks as bad as I've ever seen.

Random thought: why don't more networks/broadcasts use the overhead camera view of the ball passing the plate?

Thing with Altuve is we're not even seeing signs that he's close to coming out of it.

He's just straight awful right now.

it looks like he's using a left-handed bat....he should try one for righties.

Nice job pitching out of that. Bailey has some really good stuff. Watch his development, because we may not have lost the laureano trade If he lives up to his potential.
I hope so, but you'd have to be a shut down type reliever to offset an .850 OPS centerfielder.

Obviously a small sample, but Laureano's career OPS is higher than Springer's. Not to say he will ever be anywhere near the player George is, but it's still pretty impressive.

Nah, Altuve has earned the right to never be dropped in the lineup.

True it's fought for any reliever to be as important as a everyday player but he's still projected as a starter. And Laureano has 190 games in the big leagues. It's not a small sample size, but I'm not ready to put him on Springer's level.

You think he deserves an extra orange slice for giving it a good try?

Astros are now 22-2 again the Mariners the last 2 seasons. One win away from the dominance A&M had over Baylor before we left for the SEC (if you don't count the tie in 1990).

It's only one and a half seasons, not almost 3 decades, but I think 22-2 against one opponent in baseball is much more impressive than 23-2-1 in football.

Framber is 1-2 with a 1.90 era. Wrap your mind around that.

What the ****?? Um no, it's not a participation ribbon. The dude has been one of the best hitters in the league the past 7 years. You can ride out a slump.

Its a small sample to assume he's going to be an .850 OPS centerfielder, like George. Its big enough IMO to assume he's going to be somewhere between peak Reddick & George. It would take a hell of a RP to trade for Reddick in his prime.

Nonetheless, when it looked like we were loaded in the OF, trading what looked like at the time the odd man out for a solid reliever was a good trade and I'm glad it wasn't a total loss.

IDK about never being dropped, but show some respect with the orange slice bullisht.

The last strike on the Giants looked like it was 2' outside on the gametracker.

The bigger news is that the A's had to scratch Montas, from what I saw if he doesn't throw tomorrow Manaea would get moved up from Sunday. Anything to throw them off their groove, honestly.

So they have two walk off grand slams and a 9th inning slam to tie it. Some serious Golden Horseshoe action going on.

And I guess Dusty is still a genius for having Reddick in the number 2 spot
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Josh hit 2nd that first game out of necessity when Springer was out and Tucker was failing. He had a good game and Dusty decided to roll with it. I'll give him a little credit for keeping him there tonight, with Springer back...but what will he do tomorrow when Brantley is back?

Catching up on the thread. Man, this is hilarious to me, had to bump it. Regardless of what we think of dusty (I don't like the hire either), he's a Major League Baseball coach with years of experience. Somehow, when he makes a decision that you don't agree with and it goes right, he's lucky? C'mon now.

Little bit of hyperbole but the sentiment that he's immune to being moved down is BS.

He's slumping bad and he's a liability in the top of the lineup. There are others who would much better and more productive than Altuve right now.

Nothing wrong with saying he needs to be bumped down for a bit while he figures it out. Nobody would be raising hell if it happened.
