Another game with Altuve on the bench? What’s the deal?
Also, give me a break. Pleeeeaaaassse don’t keep playing Michaels next year the same way he’s been played this year. It’s ridiculous.
There are absolutely ZERO reasons for Michaels starting any remaining games. He will not be part of the future and takes at bats away from guys that will be on the team going forward. Besides that, he’s not even hitting his weight.
