From another board

Quote:

Hinch on MLB Radio says Altuve is on track for a rehab assignment this weekend. It will be 3-5 games.

Springer, McHugh and Stassi will all follow very soon after.


That puts Altuve back for the start of the Yankees series


Great news. I was worried about McHugh since nothing has been reported. That I could find anyway.
McHugh "injury" is interesting. Elbow discomfort is either real serious or a way to put a guy on the IL who needs to sort himself out?

Just fyi
I don't understand it either. TED will be a multiple year starter and All Star.

It's just as crazy to nickname him after Ted Williams after his MiL performance as it is to write him off after 69 ML ABs.

It would have to be in a pinch hitting situation since Hinch will sit him on the bench after a good first game.

I love Blummer just chuckling as Kalas is making the call.

Morton's W-L record the last 3 years is now 37-10 in 69 starts.
His career record when he came to Houston was 46-71, so he's now 2 games over .500. And he's still the same good 'ol Charlie.

I wonder how many lefties have put one up near the gas pump.

Related thought: Has a lefty ever gotten one onto the train tracks? I feel like Yordan might be able to do that.

Wish Chirinos didn't have to move up that far, but I'll survive. Who do y'all think benefits from the adjacent hitter the most here? Yuli or Yordan?

it seems unprecedented for someone to turnaround their record like that in their mid-30's

crossed my mind too. Don't recall many lefties visiting the Conoco pump.

I asked McTaggart in a tweet. He always seems to have that kind of info. We'll see if he replies

I was trying to find a Minute Maid spray chart, but couldn't. The data has to be out there by park, by hitter handedness, but my guess is no one has published the query to automatically refresh on a website.

Here is the spray chart for all lefty hitters at MMP who hit home runs since 3/29/2010. The link to the site is below. You can see the settings I selected in the image to recreate it yourself.

EDIT: It seems the last year this site has recorded hit data was through the 2016 season.

Oh no we have to bat our 140 wRC+ catcher 6th.

What are his splits based on spot in the order? I love the guy, but I just think he excels lower. Probably one of those feel things that isn't backed statistically. I'm OK with that, though.

Even with Alvarez up we are still subject to fatty at 1B.

Hinch said Alvarez won't play the field until Saturday and then again on Monday. Both in LF.

I'm not sure I would even try and play him in the field. Why give him something else to worry about. We got outfielders all over the place. He. Doesn't need to play anywhere at all, but if you feel he does it absolutely should be at 1st base.

I somewhat agree. If it comes down to winning game 7 of the World Series. I want to be able to put my best line up out there. There is a chance Yuli & White aren't in that line up.

I feel like Tucker never made real solid contact. I'd like to see the comparison of Bregs and his spray chart overlaid with speed off the bat

He seriously can't be any worse than White at 1B.

Tucker's issue is he only ever hit fastballs and had a terrible eye. Bregman was spreading his contact around (at least it felt like that). I haven't looked up stats to back it up.

Before this game kicks off. What would you be willing to give up for a guy like Brad Hand? And what if he was packaged with a guy like Carlos Santana?

looked it up...Adam Dunn hit 14 career homers at MMP. Would have guessed more than that.

Bonds hit just 6 homers at MMP
