I have seen Astros from Dierker and Cesar C, all the way to now.

I have never seen anyone have more fun and get more out of their body than Jose Altuve.

Cedeno was a freak. If he played today he would be putting up Acuna numbers. 35/70 stuff. With modern bats and stadiums he would be doing that. He was that good before the ankle break.

JRR was Randy Johnson before Randy Johnson. Don Wilson was stupidly good and what could have been if he had not passed away.

But what Altuve is doing and how he is doing it just boggles the mind. He's going to be on the Mt Rushmore for 2B in baseball history.

We may be at the point that guys need to make an appearance today/tomorrow just to get their work in.

If you don't see a bunch of Dusty bashing and hand wringing on here then it's safe to say no the lineup is not out yet.

Dusty mentioned this on 790 yesterday. He's been wanting to give Tuck and Bregs a day off but hasn't been able to. Although the blowout wins has allowed him to give the bench guys an at bat and some innings in the field so hopefully thats good enough to make him happy.

I'd imagine that Wednesday A's game will be the day to get Bregman or Tucker the day off

Diaz compared to the Vegas favorite to win ROY.

Dusty has quite literally kept the ROY award from Diaz.

It's wild how he, after talking to someone while back in Venezuela (I can't remember who), realized he could add a leg lift and be able to hit for power. To go from slapping the ball around to driving it all over the park 3-4 years after joining the big leagues.

He's a special talent.

Peña last year and Diaz this year, out of the worst farm system in the league.

We have Altuve for the first 60 games, we're leading this division by a long ways.


Yes, not a fan of the WBC being at the beginning of a season.

He also specifically said but we can't do that in this series so he's looking at the next one.

As many have pointed out, it's not just crappy for Diaz but it would provide the organization an extra draft pick, something Dana certainly knows how to use based on his track record.

I said this a couple of days ago. Thats a big deal. Being ROY gives the team a compensation pick and it gives the player service time to get to arbitration faster.

Perp made the mistake of stealing the car of someone who is high profile. Should have stolen a regular Joe's car and HPD likely wouldn't care.

Hard to get too mad at the lineup knowing Maldy is getting the start and Dubon has an ops of 0.995 the last 30 days.

We continue to do about 80% of what we should. Eventually that won't be enough.
