8/24 - Astros vs Orioles - Orioles HOF Day

[HowAboutThat]

I sure hope this guy is terrific with the glove, because his bat numbers are not great.

This lineup is what I would have used if I was trying not to score runs.  So far it has worked according to plan.

Why do people boo altuve? Is it because he was part of a “cheating” scandal or cause he comes into our stadium and becomes our daddy every year?

This lineup wasn't by design. Bench is likely very thin today outside of Holliday. This team is very susceptible against southpaws and Elias needs to change that for next season.

They blame the former but it's probably more the latter.

I’m not gonna lie Corn. The more I read your posts the more I like you. You call it the way it is. I can appreciate that.

Altuve ran on Cowser's arm there, he also plays soo deep.

Oh yeah.  Who is he?  Besides a pretty good pitcher.

A #6 starter to pitched in Japan last year. He’s been solid for us though, don’t get me wrong.

Just going to give you a heads up.

It's kinda like a bell curve with me, eventually you'll get tired of my tropes and start not liking me again.

I thought that if Cowser had charged that, he'd have had a real shot at getting Altuve on a (shorter) throw to third.

It’s going to be susceptible against lefties for the foreseeable future. Like 10 years future.

Nah I got no beef with you.

You usually don't get booed on the road unless you're a very good player or you're infamous like John Rocker. Also Altuve has been the Astros franchise player the last decade. Cheating scandal is overblown in my opinion as if other teams aren't gaming the system to some degree.

The O's waste no time to give up a run!!!! They struggle when they are behind.
