Look at Altuve as a perfect example. His swing had a slight uppercut something like 10% he has doubled that. If you watch MLB Network they talk about this all the time.

With everyone going to the uppercut swing I wonder if pitchers will bail on working the corners with breaking balls and will instead throw heat high and low? That could change things.

Yeah, I wish someone would give Jim Edmonds an uppercut alright... not me because he's probably still much faster and stronger than me. But someone

Good point. You become World Champions and everything proceeding gets a bit hazy.AgDoc03 said:FIFYWES2006AG said:

Will definitely be using my parents DirecTV login for baseball games...at least until they incorporate DirecTV Now as an optionCFTXAG10 said:
Looks like ATT SportsNet SW has an app now and you can watch Rockets and Astros with a paid cable or satellite subscription. I haven't tested it out because Comcast isn't listed as a provider yet but it appears that DirecTV is.
With the teams he played for, I bet he played 40% of his games again just those 5 teams.JJxvi said:
This is going to shock you, but Edmonds did hit a high percentage (40%) of his career homeruns against just 5 teams (Chicago, Cincinnati, Houston, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee)

I must've missed the part in those games where your players could catch on fire or punch people
This is one draft pick that would have made us pretty much unstoppable. We would have made a playoff run in 2016 for sure. I'd say Bregman would be moved to OF, or maybe they convert Bryant to a first basemen. However, Bryant is really good in the outfield, so that would have also been a possibility.Farmer1906 said:
Just think about Bryant, Correa, and Altuve in the same IF. Poor unlucky Bregs get moved the LF. We could have been even more stacked.
You're exactly right. If they draft Bryant, butterfly effect means they may not have drafted Aiken the next year.NotGibbs said:
I see what y'all are saying, but I think it's very unlikely the Astros would have drafted Bregman if they already had KB. Also, who knows if we would have ended up with Yuli.
I get that it's someth to talk about during the offseason, but that one pick may have had a much bigger roster impact than just Appel vs Bryant
