Is it just me or does Chas’ swing look more like Altuve’s since he came back?

or maybe it’s just that he’s a little shorter and wears his pants at the knees too

Which of the voters for the HOF is going to take the stance that on principle for his "role" in the 2017 scandal will they not vote for Atuve on the first ballot.

Oh, by the way, not voting on the first ballot for the HOF Is one of the dumbest  things I have ever heard of and cast a pox of painful dysentery on any voter who does this to a guy who is one of the greatest stories in MLB history.

A guy like Judge should post those numbers, the gambler with Yakuza ties is an athletic freak, and Altuve is the most every man, blue collar, refuse to quit story out there.

The only justification for this that makes the slightest bit of sense is the odd writer who knows that a particular player is a shoo-in and throws that vote to another player who’s fighting to stay on the ballot.

I never have understood if you aren't good enough to get it on at Year 1 or Year 4 or 8 you now are good enough at Year 10.

Seriously, the only explanation is the guy who came up with the rules believe in the concept of purgatory.

It’s probably the same 10 assholes, but I’m shocked at how many Athletic articles on the Astros are just overwhelmed with comments referencing trash cans and cheating.  Fangraphs, too.

Quite a handful, because baseball motherfuckers love smelling their own farts.

Jose Altuve is a great ambassador of the game.  He should be celebrated.

The baseball smallmindedfucks cannot deal with how the Astros whipped their asses and turned shit on its head, so Manfred gave them an out.

Fuck em.

Altuve is as HOfer as any player in history.

Unfortunately, you are most likely correct on this.  

I think a big part of it is Altuve is way to close in physical stature to all the keyboard, social media, and old school media members who opted to stay inside instead of going out an play in the fucking dirt and heat but now believe it is their duty to protect the game from players such as Altuve.

Similar to the character of Max Mercy in The Natural.

Jose has done what they could never imagine, he has done what they never had the courage, and they would rather toss laurels to the players who fit their ideals than a player who embodies what is good about the game.
