Well, at least Yuli didn't strikeout! Progress!
That first pitch to Semien was a strike to Alex and Jose. JV needs that to be called for him too.
Blue seems to be consistently inconsistent on his strike calls.
So does Reddick sit on the opposite end of the bench, away from JV?
Hopefully the 2nd time through is when these guys jump on him.
has to be that they can't see the ball because he's pumping strikes in there that these guys are taking.

Obligatory.
Hot take: Bregman and Yuli need to swap places in this lineup...
bregman is struggling right now but dont think we move him from his spot.
He needs to relearn how to hit line drives in stead of these pop ups he been hitting all year. I'd rather him figure that out behind all of the hot hitters
If you're going to make any switch, I would maybe say switch Bregman and Altuve. I'm ok letting it ride as is.Ags #1 said:

How long before the talk of benching Bregman starts or sending him for a "rehab" assignment to regain his swing?bearkatag15 said:

O/U 2 weeks?
I want him getting it corrected to but he still leads the teams in HRs. Hopefully he gets out of his funk soon but I see what you are saying though.
I'm nowhere close to saying he should be benched. Its not unreasonable to shake the lineup up to elevate your hot hitters while a core player fixes his swing lower in the lineup.
Bags mentioned last night that he talked with Bregman during BP. Said he's working on not dropping his shoulder. That's what causing the popups and he's really frustrated.
He knows exactly what he's doing wrong and working it out.

After last night's loss, I won't feel comfortable unless we're up by 5 or more going into the 9th.
not you specifically, just the thread direction in general
Altuve bomb!
2 run Altuve blast!
Tuve!
That ball was demolished!!!
Astros are missing out on a sponsorship opportunity...put a bulls eye out there on the center of the batters eye where altuve hit it and if someone centers it up, something gets given away. Just have to grow it in the grass so it doesn't interfere with the ability to see the ball.
Altuve up to .284 now, which is incredible considering where his average was in the days after his return.
How did Altuve only travel 428 ft when it's 409 to the wall? That ball was 1/2 way up the batters eye.
I constantly question the StatCast travel distances.
