I mean, I like it, but aren't you playing into the defense's preference? I'm sure Sourpuss Face would give up bunt singles all series long to Alvarez. No hurt there to them.

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

He might just be trying to get going.

If our "wins" are making the pitcher throw 12 pitches in the first it ain't looking good

Yanier will swing at literally anything. He has zero plan other than "swing as much as possible"

It would help get Gilbert out of this game quicker if the Astros swing at actual strikes.

Yainer didn't swing at a pitch within two feet of the strike zone. Come on, kid.

He's been doing that for weeks. Too bad we don't have competent hitting coaches.

He has taken over Maldonado's position…and his eye for the strike zone.

Interesting that the scout who signed Framber (David Brito) is now with the Mariners. Can we get that guy back?

Maldonado had an eye for the strike zone. Just couldn't hit anything in the strike zone

He would stand there and take a first pitch strike every time, then swing at pitches 6" outside for the rest of the at bat.

Did you miss all of 2023? This is who he is. I'm sure he'll develop more but I doubt he ever gets away from being a free swinging bad ball hitter. Good thing he's so good at making contact.
