Speaking of Reddick

So next time my kid is struggling with his hitting he's going to look at the ball with both eyes and pop the d0g**** out of a chair with a towel. Coaching baseball is easy.


Actually that is a great drill, along with the tee work. Not suggesting it would have the same impact for a kid, but for someone that is an MLB player that is just missing by a fraction of an inch, it makes a huge impact to basically go back to basics.
Obviously it's the greatest drill ever, it got Reddout out of the most horrendous slump I have seen in a long time.

Went and visited my folks today in Crosby and was tempted to drive by Reddicks house.

You'd just see a large stone gate.

So Hinch says Peacock most likely done for the season with shoulder issue. Chance he comes back in October but that's not looking promising.

Devo and Rondon looking more and more likely to be on the playoff roster.

Speaking of pitching prospects not panning out...Mark Appel is making news in the Houston fast food business

Quote:

the shop is a partnership between Ike Shehadeh, company founder and face behind the brand, and former Major League Baseball pitcher Mark Appel, who's a Houston native. (He also signed with the Astros' and played in the club's minor league.) Both will be on hand on opening day to greet guests and share their excitement about opening Ike's in H-Town. Look for Shehadeh from 10 am to 5 pm, and Appel from 11 am to 3 pm.

"I'm thrilled to bring my favorite sandwich chain to my hometown," said Appel in a press release announcing the opening. "This location marks the third store Ike and I have opened together. Now, my family and friends can experience these amazing sandwiches within reach here in Houston."




Went the Heights location this week (it's in the soft opening phase and grand opening is this weekend I think). They make some legit sandwiches - I had the one with Pinkerton's brisket and pastrami on their Dutch bread. May be my new favorite sandwich in the area.

Who has more discipline at the plate? Him or Bregman?
I think Alverez.

I think it's easily Bregman ... his strikeout to walk ratio backs that up.

Yarbourough is on point so far. Hopefully he starts getting too cute soon.

Do we usually struggle with soft throwers like this? I feel like we do, but not totally sure.

Everyone has trouble with a soft thrower who is hitting his spots with good movement.

I mean he got a glove on it and could've made a better play. But a hit.
