It used to drive me insane how far Carlos Lee stood from the plate and got burned on pitches on the outer black, but he doesn't have half the hand-eye coordination of Jose haha


But you could say that Carlos Lee is twice the man Altuve is

That's an interesting point, that may be part of the reason it seems that way. But I just feel like his lack of opportunities to see pitches he can drive this year could be due to his position in the box compared to last year when he had career HR numbers

He's always stood far away. He has a long reach despite his size, and his bat is longer and heavier than most MLB players. His plate approach is designed to scrap hit.

Dude...Give it up already man. We've gone so long without bringing all that up. We're all good here.

Now back to the actual Stros talk.

and the irony is the fact that I didn't care either way. I'm just amused at the different personalities the various boards, threads, and mods can take over the last (almost) 20 years on this site.

I came across a thread that reminded me of the trials this one went through and thought it was relevant and humorous. Guess not.

Against a RHP, that's alternating R/L every batter except one. Of course there's more to a lineup than that, but it feels like forever since we've been able to scatter that many quality lefties. It means little in the grand scheme of things, but it does make the opposing manager think a little in the late innings.

Anybody want to ditch work for the business man's special tomorrow at 1? I may have up to 3 extra tickets behind the Astros dugout; probably 20 or so rows up.

No need to rush him back this early in the season. The radio guys today were saying there are code words being used and that it is worse than they are saying. If this was September, I would be willing to bet he would have played through it or missed a game.

he may not have broken a bone, but he still took a huge amount of force to a very small, non-fleshy area.

he's gonna be hurting for a while

Seriously, if you want to go, let me know, and I can leave a ticket at will call.

How much longer do teams shift McCann? He's doing really well hitting to LF. Really impressed with his play this year.

And you ever think we'd have a catcher hitting cleanup?

You absolutely run on that wild pitch. This isn't Olsen where that bounce is expected. That was just unlucky.

I've always thought it was super risky taking home on any wild pitch/passed ball at MMP, just not a ton of room back there
