After that slow start, Alex Bregman has raised his wRC+ to 139.

This puts him fifth in the league behind

Jose Ramirez (probably this year's MVP)
Kris Bryant
Nolen Arenado
and Daniel Roberston, wtf?

Was that a suicide squeeze?


No. Altuve didn't go until the ball was on the ground. Loved seeing that executed well.

TV announcers saying safety squeeze. Altuve didn't break for home until the ball was bunted and on the ground vs a suicide squeeze where the runner is going and the pressure goes all to the batter to lay down the bunt.

Just learned that little jewel.

Safety squeeze makes sense with Altuves speed

True. Also Trout. I was looking at Jose and he's done all this with a .268 BABIP. I'm thinking the dude's numbers will likely improve.

BP = BP

Basically a race to get their SP to 100+ pitches. Sucks to be an Indian fan /wrists

If I was an Indians fan I would shoot myself in the face with as bad as their bullpen is, seems the Astros are working their pitchers just to get to their relievers.

Because they are solid at plate with strong SP

These guys need to learn to not hit people. They have no idea where these pitches are going.
