This team needs a competitive DH. It may be Alvarez. It may be someone else. I don't think it's White.

Alvarez will contribute this year for sure.


For sure?
Yep. Not going to be able to leave him down there if he keeps mashing. We'll have some sort of injury, or he'll help us down the stretch when he's called up in Sept at the very least. I would rather have him up here than Tyler White right now.

I hope you're right, but if even epic success at AAA does not = immediate or even eventual success in the majors.

speaking of the outfield.

Reddick seems to be off to a good start, but he has just 2 runs scored and 0 RBI in 42 at-bats. Only 1 x-base hit.

strangely enough...he has only struck out 5 times. Hitting a ton of routine grounders and medium fly balls

He's going up the middle & oppo more too. We're going to need a little more from him if he's going to hold off Kemp and Tucker.

Grooming him to be the next Marwin?

Cracks me up that it was Beltran that pointed it out to Paxton after the game.

So was it tipping pitches or stealing signs because those are 2 very different things. Anyways. F that dude.

So is Cole trying to avoid having the Astros offer an extension?

Maybe a little nit picky but I feel like Brantley doesn't go hard after fly balls at times.

He's had a few instances where he just kind of cruises over to baseballs without any intention of diving or laying out for them.

Maybe that's just me though
Mathguy64

He didn't go after the fly very hard. He was shifted way into CF on the second hit. If Cole is going to come inside it needs to not be a changeup with that defense.

Dang, Blue. I'll take it but that ball was 6" outside.

Kemp did not read that one well at all. He should have scored there.

Great job by Brantley.

I swear Carlos should just bunt every single time there's a man on third and one out

Too many wasted runs on his bat that is too strikeout prone.

He specifically has done it a lot this year. I feel like he doesn't even put it in play and strikes out a large portion of those as well

Has Diaz figured out how to throw to 1st yet? There is a reason he hasn't played anything except 1st and DH since he filled in at short and 2nd earlier in the season

IDK but I'll take if he hit a home run every 11 ABs.
