Jose Altuve “just needs a day,” Joe Espada said. Espada planned to sit him one day in Baltimore, but Alex Bregman and Yordan Alvarez’s situation complicated that. Espada didn’t go into much detail, but said “I’ve asked a lot from Jose this year. He just needs a breather.”
— Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) August 26, 2024

If Espada did have a conversation with him about carrying the team maybe this is why Altuve is pressing and striking out too much. We've all wondered why he's swinging crazy and more than usual, dude wants to always do something.

Kikuchi has been very good thru his 5 starts

the "innings eater" label was a bit of a stretch however

How many guys are averaging 5.2 IP a start? Seems above avg.

Leadoff Bregman seems like a great way to incite an 0-for-20 tailspin.

Did you not read the cautionary tale of the guy who recently predicted a six-game losing streak?

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

No, I was banned for a week for posting on a thread about myself.

I'm just glad we actually put 18 pitches on him, honestly.

Couple of solid ABs.

Big exhale there. Even if Schwarber ends up scoring here, could've been so much worse.

Ah, I see…man every time I have watched a different broadcast really makes me appreciate what we have with Julia, TK and Blummer

Jake grounds into a ton of double plays for as fast as he supposedly runs.

Jake has regressed quite a bit from the first few months. OPS below .700 now for the past two weeks
