2023 MLB Thread; Say Hey, Charlie Hustle: Rest In Power, Willie. RIP, Pete.

[Benny Hinn]

Why would you bring your closer in the 8th? I feel like a lot of those guys aren’t wired to pitch in something outside the 9th.

He is not Mariano.

I get the strategy. let Kimbrel face the bottom of the order so he doesn’t face top of order in the 9th. But he was gonna blow it either way. He is what we thought he is

Prophet Pedro called it

Missed the games due to work but even watching the replays they looked insane

Build that man’s statue already, greatest Astro of all time

Bar none. Overtook Baggy in my eyes years ago. I want him to pass Biggio in hits so bad, but it might be a tall task, pun intended.

 

[sole searchin]

I get the love for Bagwell and Biggio, really do. Great numbers.

But Altuve has insane numbers when it matters. Even with his non existent postseason run last year.

For that alone > and I’m not downplaying Bagwell’s metrics at all.

 

[g-time]

Yea he’s 100% passed up Bags and Biggio just with his post season performances alone. Loved those two, but come playoff time they seldomly showed up.

 

[N41D]

Biggio and Bagwell don’t hold Altuve’s jock.

Altuve’s postseason resume is damn near in its own orbit.

 

[you go boy]

As far as clutch situations in the playoffs the only one I'd say was just as good was big papi

 

[DonCigaro]

Alttuve has passed Derek Jeter as far as clutch playoff players.

 

[Benny Hinn]

Semien and Seager gotta step up. Unless theyre going as Mookie and Freddie for Halloween

 

[DsLee]

As much as I hate the Astros, Altuve deserves to be considered for GOAT 2B when it’s all said and done.

 

[Benny Hinn]

That’s the sad part. They didn’t have to cheat. They were already talented. Now their names will forever be linked to trashcans

 

[migu420]

They didn't have too, but because they did, it's going to always be a question. Forever!

 

[jf04]

They didn't have too, but because they did, it's going to always be a question. Forever!

*yawn* they continued and continue to win.

 

[migu420]

*yawn* they continued and continue to win.

Yawn, they cheated then...
Funny coming from the same league that sid Barry bonds isn't the homerun record holder, lol

 

[reformeDWS]

I got love for Bags and Biggio. Met bagwell at the team hotel the night of the 2017 WS win and dude was super cool and took pictures with a ton of folks.

With that said, Altuve is clear of them both and is standing toe to toe with Hakeem for best houston athlete all time.

 

[g-time]

I don’t know about better Houston athlete than Hakeem. Hakeem is arguably a top 10-15 all time player.

 

[N41D]

Semien and Seager gotta step up. Unless theyre going as Mookie and Freddie for Halloween

Seager has at least had a couple moments.

Semien hasn’t even had as much as a good AB. He’s hitting like a new dad that hasn’t gotten any sleep.

But those two gotta own the next two or they’re cooked.

 

[reformeDWS]

what are we even doing here?

 

[D StaXX]

That's some ******** fr

 

[g-time]

McCullers first action all season got him fined

 

[second2nonee]

what are we even doing here?

lol what a joke, i guess just don't appeal it then right? eat it next season?

 

[tupac003]

Wait...seems like they are screwed no matter what now. A hearing in 48 hours?!?

 

[g-time]

Well damn. Let this series go 7 then.

 

[Coupé It]

Btw TF were the blue Jays thinking trading Gabriel Moreno last year?
