You're keeding and Sneed back to back. How many runs will it take to win this game? I'll say 9.

But in all seriousness why no alvarez Pinch hit? White and Kemp? Wtf?
Him and Yuli surging has been great to see. Then that Yordan guy....Let's get Carlos back, bench Tyler, and start mashing fools.bearkatag15 said:
Altuve has increased his batting average to .269 passing Bregman. It was at .236 a game or 2 after his return from the DL.

Yes, I think the whole state is blacked out.Safe at Home said:
Does anyone know the blackout radius for mlb.com? Last year I lived about 100 miles from Denver and couldn't watch the Astros in Denver. I just moved to Cody WY which is at least 300 miles from Denver and I still got blacked out tonight. Do Astros fans that live in Dallas get blacked out by mlb.com?
Dude has a spot on this playoff roster. No question.W said:
and Miles Straw...on-base % at .407 thru 59 plate appearances --- sample size is growing

During the four-game series against the Yankees in New York last month, Yuli Gurriel sought Beltran's advice. Gurriel entered the Bronx with a .693 OPS and five home runs. His on-base percentage dipped below .300. In an Astros lineup desperately seeking a spark from one of its veterans, he was the furthest thing from it.
Beltran, a special adviser to Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, met with Gurriel during the series. Beltran told the 34-year-old Cuban to look at the baseball with both eyes.
"Carlos helped me a lot," Gurriel said Tuesday night through an interpreter. "He told me to look at the ball with two eyes and not with one eye. Just making that adjustment has helped me out."
Yuli before talking to Beltranbearkatag15 said:
Thanks Beltran for fixing Yuli. Not sure the Yankees will appreciate that though

If he plays even close to this level moving forward, then that makes the decision even easier to let Correa walk in free agency when that time comes. Straw, Alvarez, Tucker, and possibly Beer( ETA when Gurriel's contract expires) have the potential to plug some holes at a cost effective salary for years to come.bearkatag15 said:Dude has a spot on this playoff roster.

It amazes me that Beltran was not just an elite player, but he's elite at figuring things out with other players. Haven't y'all talked in the past about him being good at finding a pitchers tells or stealing signs?

Not bad, 9-8 haha.
Yuli said:
He didn't hesitate when asked if he liked hitter-friendly Coors Field in his second visit to the park. "Mucho. Good stadium to hit in and the ball goes far."
Was anyone at Game 1 of the 2017 ALCS with the Yankees?bearkatag15 said:
Oh boy this makes me miss Marwin
Yes, I thought it was Greg Bird as well. It was huge.Ag_07 said:
We were there.
Think it was Greg Bird that he nailed and it was big because that was a pitcher's duel and that cut downed run was crucial.
I especially miss Marwin since his replacement has been nursing a hamstring since what seems like the first week of the season.
