Larry Walker was fairly close in 1999 if I remember correctly. I wanna say it was around .380. Man, it would be so tough these days with how much pitching has changed.
Meanwhile in 1911 Shoeless Joe Jackson hits .408 and loses the batting title by 12 points to Ty Cobb.

It turns around today. The team was just missing the wisdom myself, Maldy, and Brantley provided. Then I reminded them that 'ol Jose Abreu is older than all 3 of us. They're ready to go now! I got my toothpick ready!

Espada is not a big Dubon fan

surprised he's not in the lineup after another productive game last night
Currently has a WAR worse than Chas, Jake and Singleton, according to fangraphs


I don't think that's the best way to use WAR. I think it's as simple as we're going to play our best players. Doobie and Jake are going to share until someone establishes their self.

I agree, just pointing out that Dubon hasn't really been very productive this year, either

He seems sharp and likable. Never had seen him interviewed before.

I think he's matured quite a bit after being a dumbass for a long time.

The Braves starter has an ERA under 1. Hunter has an ERA over 16. This could be a long night for the Astros.

Or they could both equalize a bit.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Why do yall hate our own players so much?
If there is one thing I have learned about almost ALL sports fanbases is a LOT of fans are hyper critical, almost to a fault, of anyone on their own team. I understand it can be frustrating watching players for a team you cheer for struggle or downright suck (Abreu), but some of y all seriously need to lighten up
No matter what!
Epstein didn't do, you know, the thing...
I'm the rare Astros/Cowboys/Spurs fan. We do exist

Criticism =/= hate

All of us want this team to succeed. Doesn't really matter who's on the team. Just win, baby.

I am nearing 40 years old. It was 12 years between World Series appearances in separate windows. If this window closes I'll be in my 50's next time we're not ****ty

At what point does the criticism convert over to hate tho? I haven't ever hated a player for a team I cheer for, but I realize what I say/do has zero bearing on how they perform, so I generally just complain a little and move on.

Quiet is better than boos. And I wonder how much longer it will be before Abreu hears some?

I'm beyond tired of watching opposing hitters get on base by fluke and dunk.

Maybe we're playing semantics here, but if you hate any professional ball player only for poor performance on the field of play, you should seek medical help. I've not seen any evidence here of actual hate towards any player. Just my opinion.
