During that time he’s posted the following line:
.349/.444/.735, 4 2B, 2 3B, 8 HR, 26 RBI, 4 SB
He has also accumulated 1.9 fWAR, the most in the American League. #Astros #Ready2Reign pic.twitter.com/dvtLof5iB2
I know I've been negative a lot, so I'll add this positive note: I can't wait to see Verlander's presence and what it does for Hunter and to a lesser extent, Framber. I know he's not a "teacher" but man can that dude lead by example.
His return is the proverbial shot in the arm for the team.
According to ZIPS (fangraphs model) the Astros improved their WS changes more than anyone.
We were second only to the Twins in an increase in the likelihood of winning the division. The difference is their grew because the rest of the AL Central sold.

In the last week or so we literally got 3 of our top 5 most important players back.

Don't they know he's a lollygagger.
so Abreu is probably going to finish year 1 in Houston with a negative WARFarmer1906 said:
WAR check-in
Abreu - -0.9
dug too big of a hole in April & May
If we are going to have 4 SP in the playoffs, I don't think it's a given that one of them isn't JP.
His ERA leads the team, and his WHIP is right there with Javier and Brown.
He also seems to be improving quite a bit the more majors experience he gains.

And STILL batting 6th behind Yordan, which it's a wonder he gets ANYTHING to hit. If I'm a pitcher I'm treating Yordan like Judge and just seeing if he'll chase slop...if not, walk him, and go after Abreu.W said:so Abreu is probably going to finish year 1 in Houston with a negative WARFarmer1906 said:

Hey friends.
We are the most feared franchise in baseball for the 7th year in a row. We are gonna make Arlington our ***** on our way to another WS appearance.
Enjoy some baseball.

Leave him there. He's not a major Leaguer.

Call him up. Play him at Yankees Stadium. See if he can mash a fastball to that short RF.
Come on Dana. Do it.

Dang, I’m really trying to not respond to people being wrong. But this weird urban legend that has been created about my husband is wild, just trying to tell y’all the truth. Okay bye ☺️

never a good look when the wife chimes in.
reminds me of the scene from 'We're the Millers'
"Im Marky Mark, and yall are the funky bunch"

It really is awesome to see Singleton doing well. I know he's had his battles and it says a lot about him that he's been able to work through them and fight back and get to where he's at today.
While I don't agree with letting your wife use electronics or talk to anyone else other than me, Mrs.Singleton seems like a classy lady.Farmer1906 said:

I'd love to see Singleton make his way up to the big squad. What a story he would be if he comes up and mashes.
He can't be much worse than Julks at this point.

There is a Kyle Tucker AMA on Reddit. I haven't thumbed through it yet but someone here has the time I'm sure to give us highlights.
Which subreddit?

Is it just me or does it seem like his errors always cost more. Peña or Bregman makes an error and it may get erased. Abreu makes one and boom… 2 runs score.

Q: Hi Kyle! Who's the toughest pitcher you've ever faced that people might not think of? So not a Gerritt Cole or Kevin Gausman type but more under the radar.
A: Gotta be Triston McKenzie. He's really good.
Quote:
Q: Who is the best and worst teammate to be stuck on a deserted island with? From a survival point of view.
A: Chas would be the worst. Not sure he'd survive.
Brantley would be the best. The guy knows how to fish, so we would eat well.
Quote:
Q: Why the switch to batting gloves? You were one of the bare hand goats
A: This year I felt like I didn't have a ton of time for my normal routine since I had to be in the box faster, so I decided to go with the BGs. I know it's a little less badass so I am sorry.
Quote:
Q: What did you do with the final out ball from last year's World Series?
A: I still have it. Got it authenticated right after the game. I left it at my parent's place.
Quote:
Q: Did you ever get starstruck when meeting a player for the first time?
A: When I first got called up I was starstruck by my own teammates. I grew up watching a lot of those guys.
I'll post more as he answers more questions
Kyle wants to Shohei
