Forgiven? What is there to forgive?? Dude is a freak of nature and has been a HUGE asset all season long. He's struggling in this series, but it's far, far from a need for 'forgiveness.'
He is gonna figure it out...people forget that in addition to his power, he is a good hitter. Right now, he is trying way too hard. Today he just had better swings, Think he needs to crowd the plate a bit more tbh...make them throw inside.
Every time he comes up to bat I think this is the time he hits a monster home run. Damn, I miss those home runs. But, who's going to take his place? Tucker? Diaz? Come on big man. It's time.
1 for his last 17 with 9 K’s. I think I’d give him a day off. It’s probably his first real slump, might not be a bad time to clear his head a little. Oh yeah. When you want to go to it...
He got today off. He had Monday off as well. He needs to un**** himself at the plate, he doesn’t need time off.
Im in favor of moving him to the 7th spot. Everybody keeps saying that he'll figure it out and I agree but he can do it in the 7th spot.
Springer had a terrible ALCS vs Yankees in 2017. And then went completely bonkers in the World Series
Postseason against two of the best pitching staffs in the league no need to overreact here. It's not like the Astros as a whole has been hitting well and hes just being left out. Also in regards to pushing him down the lineup, he's there for the RLRL splitting up the platoon.
Eh, if he hits 7th, Brantley 3rd and Reddick/Tucked 9th you have enough splitting of the lefties to work just fine.
