He's thrown a passive aggressive tantrum every strikeout this postseason.

I'm a fan of his ability. He's just been off on his swing selection.

Hill hang looked great in any start this postseason, I'm hoping George can get it turned around before coming back to Houston tonight.

He needs to stand in the back outside corner of he batters box take 3 strikes and move on. We have him for potentially two more games+2 more years. I can take 3 outs regardless of the situation without him getting hurt based on some antiquated dumb rule.

The fact there are a whole bunch of situations where the pitcher bunting makes sense should tell you how ridiculous it is they're hitting in the first place

And later in the game...how your forced bullpen and pinch hitter decisions are made, based around the ninth spot in the lineup...it's so stupid!

A pitch would still hit him in his gigantic nuts.

That fat assed Kim was in the building when the Saints won the Super Bowl. Maybe the Astros could use Reggie Bush in the lead off spot.

My authority is the best. Talks to Reid on a daily basis.

Springer's swings just got 5 times bigger. He's gonna show all ya'll haters. When he connects he's gonna hit the first 600 foot homer.

It is an extremely underrated stadium as far as aesthetics go when the roof is open and I get the league wanting to show it off but it should be our decision

It's stupid to have substitute batters. Why not have substitute batters for a great defensive shortstop who can't hit while you're at it.

That already exists. It's called getting replaced by someone better if you struggle to hit .140 like pitchers do.

Because defensive shortstops who can't hit slash like 220/280 on the lowest end. Pitchers slash like 120/130 or something like that.

No shortstop that hits in the neighborhood of what pitchers hit will stay on a major league roster
