If you put enough pressure on it, his head pops up
I was gonna say they should've put him in a neck brace since all he does is look straight up every AB.
May be the only title we have a shot at this year.MaxPower said:I don't know why but I have an irrational obsession with Altuve winning another batting title.EastCoastAgNc said:There's a long way to go, but to put Jose Altuve's start into perspective, here's where his current pace would take him over a full season:

Don't forget that Mother's Day is just over a week away. Seems that Breggy does well on that day.

Now at the young age of 32 he’s having the best season of his career pic.twitter.com/m1kzqRPXyX
i'm as happy as anybody for big jon's resurgence, especially living up to the hype with the astros
but didn't he take 3 whole years off from baseball?

I'm so thankful for a new page because it was torture seeing Servais's stupid, punchable face at the top
I'm happy Jon had a few good games, but lets wait and see if he can do it consistently for a few weeks before we start making public apologies.
He's hitting .275 with a .787 OPS in 51 ABs. It's more than a few games, he's been a good this season, so far.

That not how this board works.
That's fine, but he's not been playing regularly. He is now, so lets see how he does when the matchups aren't in his favor.Bonnettecj1 said:

He had a big game yesterday vs a LHP. He draws walks and now he's starting to show some power. I think he'll start seeing fewer fastballs and that's when we'll find out just how real he is.EastCoastAgNc said:That's fine, but he's not been playing regularly.

5 days ago, several of you thought we should DFA Singleton. Agree on tapping the breaks a little on his "turnaround".
We can still use the DFA on Bregman so we don't waste it.k20dub said:

Yeah- my opinion of Jon hasn't changed. Obviously pulling for him and hope I'm wrong.
Any maybe Yordan if he doesn't turn it around soon.

Well we were saying that because we assumed they were sticking with Abreu due to his salary. So singleton was the first basemen you'd DFA at that point since they were adamant about letting Abreu work through it
Can't we just, I don't know, be happy the guy is performing well without projecting his inevitable demise?
I swear some fans seem to be only interested in sports because of an odd addiction to misery. Then again, we are all Aggie football fans here so that might have something to do with it.

George Kirby is something else. I was trying to look at his pitch tendencies based on counts and L/R and came across something wild.
He throws his sinker 100% of the time when 3-0. I thought that was interesting because that's like his #3 pitch. But then I realized he's only been 3-0 once all year long. He's only been down 2-0 7x this year. He throws first-pitch strikes 69.4% of the time (8th for qualified pitchers). I kind of hope we go take some daddy hacks on the first pitch.

he might want to purposely not throw a strike to Altuve on pitch 1

Yeah this proves our point.
51 ABs is pretty small sample size.
I'm happy for and his family. His wife seems like good people. I'm trying to tap the brakes a bit before hanging his number in the rafters.

To me he's a solid backup option but it beats the alternative which is Abreu
He's awesome. Greg Maddux-like in terms of control. I know that sounds outrageous but it's true when you dig into it.
Did we ever get an explanation of the pitch clock violation called on Arrighetti last night?
Yeah the explanation I got was that blue had his head up his ass
this checks out

Honestly one of the more logical explanations I can think. Not sure how else you have one with 12 seconds left.
Also, more annoying for espada to not argue it. If it's the legit wrong call and directly walks a runner with a full count….
I remember several years ago bumping into him at a bar on Washington when I thought his career was over. Never thought I would see the day he made it back to the Majors. I am rooting for him to win the job, but the odds are still stacked against him.Quote:

this is a big series for the Mariners too
kind of a put-your-foot-on-their-throat opportunity for Seattle
we'll see if the M's can do it
hopefully the new left-handed bats in the 'stros lineup will make a difference vs. Kirby & Gilbert

That whole crew struggled. Angel was the best of the 3 behind the plate. The Friday night guy was just as bad in the field.

Except he's giving up runs so far this year.
Hopefully, as Farmer said, we can jump on some of those first pitch strikes.
