On Monday and Tuesday, the @astros' Jose Altuve homered 4 times in a span of 4 innings played by his team.

The only other MLB player ever to do that was Bobby Lowe on May 30, 1894, in what was the very first 4-homer game in MLB history (homered in 3rd, 3rd, 5th and 6th innings). pic.twitter.com/dyuQBIpapC
anyone else read "he stands 5' 6 and weighs...." and immediately start thinking of lyrics with Jose instead of John. Yeah, me neither.linkdude said:As Jose Altuve goes, so do the Astros and so does the American League West - https://t.co/R153PfwQPx pic.twitter.com/rkK2k3I4gV

Jose Altuve's 5 homers the last 2 days for the @astros came over a span of 7 innings (from the 6th inning on Monday through the 3rd inning on Tuesday).

That's the shortest span of team innings for a player to hit 5 home runs in MLB history. pic.twitter.com/qRR2uP5IG2

There will be a lot of bad takes exposed, but all the ones about Dusty will still be true.texasaggie2015 said:

I'd love nothing more that to congratulate Donkey on a second World Series title in SPITE of him and his ridiculous lineups of favoritism and spitefulness.texasaggie2015 said:

My post had nothing to do with Dusty Baker. It had to do with all the ups and downs and roller coaster of emotions in this thread over the last few months.
Teenage girls are less hysterical and emotional than some of the people on this thread. Crush the Rangers in two games of what several were calling biggest series of the year, yet wake up whining about lineups. Need a heavy dose of midol for many here.texasaggie2015 said:

this upcoming series vs. the Padres (66-74) could be another weird oneFrok said:
Yep, we still have to play more home games
OK understood...as I've said before, I rarely post during the game as I know my emotions would get the better of me but yes, I've seen some hyperbole, to put it mildly rereading it later.texasaggie2015 said:

My wife and I were at the game last night. I was booing him as he walked to the plate in the 3rd inning. I even tried to get a "cheater" chant going, but the AB only lasted two pitches.amercer said:
Can we get the home fans to boo Altuve?
And then never have to speak his name again.Prosperdick said:I'd love nothing more that to congratulate Donkey on a second World Series title in SPITE of him and his ridiculous lineups of favoritism and spitefulness.texasaggie2015 said:

Teenage girls are also less hysterical than our manager, his lineups, and our performance date.Panama Red said:Teenage girls are less hysterical and emotional than some of the people on this thread.

Yeah, Dusty really held back last year's team. Best record in the AL by 7 games, 11-2 in the postseason.
I get the frustration this year but c'mon man, the vitriol and name calling directed toward Dusty by you on this thread day in and day out win or lose is beyond old.
I was thinking the same thing this morning on my drive to work. Biggio was the guy growing up who played hard, and played the game the right way. I thought he'd be my favorite Astro ever..........BUT Altuve is the man. He's got the memorable home runs and championships Biggio never could get in the clutch moments. That alone puts Altuve in a different, better category.Beat40 said:
I grew up with Biggio as my favorite Astros. He still may be, but Altuve has made it a really tough decision. I love the way that guy plays the game. He's everything that is right with baseball in my opinion.
He was our Cal Ripken Jr. and to many of us that weren't power hitters playing third, first or the outfield, a breath of fresh air to idolize.AustinCountyAg said:I was thinking the same thing this morning on my drive to work.

It really says a lot about how far we've come as a franchise.AustinCountyAg said:
The sad part about Biggio when I think back to what I remember most about watching him on tv is him constantly striking out swinging at sliders away five feet off the plate. ZERO big game, clutch memories
