  1. Agree or nah?
  2. correlation is not causation. How many WS rings does Yainer have? CHECK MATE. But in all seriousness, I'm not wholly disagreeing because I want Yainer catching more not less, but he's not very good situationally with the bat and he is terrible against LHP. He needs to get better at working counts and not being such a free-swinger. His power is awesome and his exit velos are impressive so he will hit consistently. Machete is just terrible all around with the bat but he should always start against LHP over Diaz. The belief that you know better than the pitchers who throw to these guys or the coaches/player development/analytics nerds who have built this baseball dynasty is evidence of you sniffing your own farts.
  3. It's also a fact that the organization is very analytics-driven and has excelled at player development, so I'm of the opinion they have data and inside info about Maldonado/Diaz we don't. I think Diaz should be catching more but I am also confident that will be that case as he develops his defensive skills and builds rapport with the entire pitching staff and works on the intangibles that make Machete respected in the clubhouse.
  4. trust means everything between pitcher and catcher. how do you quantify that? I think the coaches/development staff/FO analysts/pitching staff know what they're doing. Y'all need to stop sniffing your own farts.
  5. its pretty damn obvious whose opinions matter in this scenario
  6. Maldy is the one calling the pitches dude jfc
  7. It's almost like the Machete haters refuse to believe these players when it's been explained many times. Ffs, even Chandler tweeted an aggressive "let me dumb it down for you, stupid" recently in answering the Maldonado vs Diaz question. I'm not saying I want Machete over Diaz, I'm just accepting the reality as explained by Astros pitchers and insiders. It is what it is.
  8. you said what we are all thinking
  9. what a fucking pitch pressly!
  10. cmon dooby jfc
  11. CHASSSS BABY
  12. i need to see this
  13. we have one in AAA
  14. CHAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
  15. I love the swagger and if any fanbase deserves to flip bats it's us, but some of y'all aren't giving the Rangers enough credit imo. That lineup is stacked and they just addressed their glaring team weaknesses so it's going to be a dogfight for the division title. They aren't fading away. The Astros need to put together a long 10 gm winning streak like they have in past seasons.
  16. Last 7 gms Pena is slashing .370/.452./.481 (.933 OPS), 10-for-27 with 4 walks, 6 strikeouts, and 5 RBI. Amazing what hitting #2 does for his production.
  17. What a night to post this hilarious self-own
  18. Dusty and Machete tonight in the clubhouse
  19. that's what happens when you don't get to wear ASTROS across your chest
  20. eat a bag of chocolate dicks loser
  21. HE DID IT!!!!
  22. Give them credit, they sacrificed their 2017 season to the NFL gods during practice so the baseball gods would smile upon Houston later that evening in the City of Angels.
  23. Dana Brown throwing just a little shade
