Funny that the most impactful AB of his tenure with the Astros was the result of him just standing there and getting plunked in the 22 WS.

I think it's obvious patience and pitch selection is a real focus on offense.

Altuve said in his postgame interview he's really just focusing on being selective and hitting his pitch when he gets it.

I also noticed the new hitting coach up and out of the dugout looking over the ipad very intently with Isaac last night as the Red Sox made a pitching change. Can't say that was an occurrence with the previous staff.

Cintron did that all the time with the hitters.

Marwin, what a clutch postseason hitter. Not taking two games in Atlanta like we should have still bugs me.

Framber's about 30 lbs lighter in that clip.

I mean he definitely was trying to get hit. But because he's an Astro it's dirty and cheating. Meanwhile rizzo was doing the same thing in the Yankees series, crowding the plate on 2 strikes but that was a savvy veteran move

I was looking over Altuve's career number as I do 5-6 times a day. To have him and Biggio so close together in history is sort of unreal, especially for our typically underachieving sports city. Granted this isn't exactly true, because Biggio played catcher from 88 to the every end of 91 and played OF for 03-04 when Jeff Kent rolled into town, but in total, other than 2 years of Kaz Matsui (08-09) and one year of Jeff Keppinger, who is Grae Kessinger's illegitimate father, 2026 is year 38 of a possible 41 with either Biggio or Altuve on the roster as your 2B. That's pretty insane in modern baseball. The Yankees and Red Sox had these legendary continuations of Dimaggio/Mantle in CF and Williams/Yaz in LF, but that was before free agency was a thing.

By comparison, Dimaggio played CF from 36-51, minus 43-45 for the war, and Mantle played 51-68. That's 32 years minus the war of one or the other. Mantle was a 19-year-old rookie in 1951, DImaggio's last year.

Williams played 1939-1960 minus 3 years from 43-45 and almost all of 52-53 for military service. Yaz was a rookie in 1961 and played until 1983. So that is 44 years, minus 4-5 years of military service for Williams. By the way, Williams had an OPS of 1.016 in 113 games the year he retired at age 41.

While we're on the subject of former Astros I see Jesus Sanchez has started off pretty well for TOR. Only 9 ABs but damn

4 for 9, .444 BA, 1 HR, 3 RBIs, 1.361 OPS

If Boston wants Paredes, Duran or Wilyer Abreu need to be in the conversation. Otherwise suck it.

That Bobby Abreu trade to the Phillies has to rank right up there with trading Joe Morgan to the Reds as among the very worst in Astros history.

Didn't the Astros just choose to protect Hidalgo in the expansion draft?

I thought the Rays took Abreu, then the Rays traded him to the Phillies.

the interesting thing about Altuve now...with regard to the Hall of Fame...

it's all about his counting numbers at this point...and reaching the next counting number milestone(s)

especially as compared to other second basemen

his slash lines are fairly set with only 4 or 5 years left in his career

My youngest son (12) is enamored with this. He already wants to project when he will get to 3000 hits so we can be there.

But seriously, its going to take health for him to reach 3000, very possible but needs the luck.

300 homeruns

350 stolen bases

1500 runs

1000 rbi

Gonna be hard to keep him out.

Then one can look at this postseason performance.

If he doesn't get in by year 3 of eligibility its an absolute crime.
