This is not the great argument you think it is-it actually just demonstrates how he’s been misused. He was on the IL for 3 weeks compared to 7 weeks for Alvarez. Even with the all-star break and a day off thrown in here and there, he should have about 100 more plate appearances than him, not 20+ fewer like he does now.


If you use the Rome logic, fat players need more days off 😂😂😂

Caught this little blurb on 790, chandler isn’t making stuff up. Someone in the Astros org told him that chas was too big and it’s an issue 

the plot thickens

If the players-only meeting can keep this up for another couple months we might be on to something

I went out drinking and having fun last night, and didn't get to watch the game.I did check the score a few times and giggled whenever I saw another homer. What an awesome exclamation point to end a series by demolishing their shiny new pitcher and cutting out their hearts on their home field! I'll make some celebratory gifs later tonight when I get home. 

They just need to do the same against the Mariners in a few weeks and seal the deal! Let's Stros!

If I’m the owner, I find out who’s passing along clubhouse info and fire them asap. Those are very privileged jobs, people should keep their mouths shut.

It’s an imaginary issue. It’s just an excuse for whatever his real reason is for not playing him. If it weren’t the extra 4 lbs, he’d make up something else to try to justify it.

Dusty not playing Chas as often as he should is not imaginary 

Obviously. The justification for it is though. That’s the point. He doesn’t want to play him for who know why and then makes up his reasons on the fly. It’s why he’s all over the place in that article-there are no valid reasons. It’s unjustifiable.

Why is Chas being too fat an issue if he is 50% better than league average and still good defensively? This is dumb. 

Maybe he keeps cutting in front of maldy in the post game spread ?

Chaz probably insulted high fives or toothpicks.  Will not stand!

I got close, had a in person interview in the IT department. The guy that interviewed me created the database the org was using for all their analytics. Of course, a week after my in-person interview, it was hacked by the Cardinals front office guy. I sent a follow up thank you email for the interview and it bounced.

In for the Altuve, Tucker, Bregs “big boys” t-shirt or bobblehead 

The best part of the big boy bullshit. Dusty would have done the same thing with Correa, Altuve, Springer, Bregman, Tucker, and Alvarez.

if pena stays hot i don't really give a shit if he bats 2, but he's not our best option there.  if you drop him to 9th does he start sucking?  either way our lineup is stretched out when the right guys are in it and pena/abreu are doing what they're supposed to do.  that lineup is ridiculous but still probably can't hit at home.

Tony Gwynn was fat too...

Yep.  Dusty made up his mind how he was gonna play it, then his last-choice guy played really well and made him look stupid, so now Dusty needs a reason that isn't stats or performance.

Dusty would've benched prime Babe Ruth and David Ortiz, too.

Sure.

My neighbor is in the front office.  He told me point blank that Dusty is instructed who to bat where in the playoffs.

I’d maybe flip Bregman and Tucker but that’s splitting hairs. This is the way.
