Many good and bad opinions on the Houston Astros

A few years ago, I wrote about how Jason Kipnis and Jose Altuve were very comparable players. Or argued with someone on Twitter or Reddit about it. Or my brother. Whatever it was, i took that stance, and was firm in it. All Atuve had on Kip was age. Which, it appears, is a major factor. This whole conversation or text-based fight happened in probably 2015, a point where Altuve had earned 13.9 WAR for his career, Kipnis 15.6 in the same amount of years. I had a leg to stand on. That leg, like Kipnis’s excellence, withered away in a rash of injury (bodily for him, pride-based for me).
