Tyler coming around a bit too.  

Too little, too late.  But maybe gets some trade value.

1 month all star?

realistically, no.  but if he continues this, he could end up in the home run derby.

[Guadaloopy 11012]

I can’t imagine how anyone pitches to this lineup when Springer, Altuve and Correa get back.  It’s not fair.  

[Rimbo 26055]

I'm no expert, but I think Alvarez might be ready for the majors now.

Sounded like a gunshot:

Fuck that jinx!

[henrygandorf 29194]

remember when our farm system was stacked because we had tucker and whitley?

I didn’t realize that Piñito was copying bro’s hair.

Yuli is really his dad according to Bagwell.

You know you have a good line up when you're eventually going to complain that it's Reddick's and Gurriel's inning to bat

[Johnny Sack 8397]

Framber having a great season.  His stuff is filthy.

That's my guess too. Don't get the Astro-nomical clue, but the goggles and little league clues fit. 

[UTexasFight 9523]

I thought it was weird the other day when I saw odds to win the AL had blue jays a longer shot than Orioles

Now I get it.

[UTexasFight 9523]

At some point good pitching will figure out alvarez weak spots. In the meantime I’m enjoying him crushing the hell out of mistakes. He is dialed in right now

I think you need Blummer in there to keep them on track, but yes please.  

[Guadaloopy 11012]

Yordan navigating the corner like he was born there.  

[Scraps 13570]

Just let Bill Brown do that part

[Wishbone 4777]

This is a good team/lead to pitch Devo. If any.

I'm not watching and have been wondering how he was doing in the field. Sounds like ok.

Would probably fight the opposing teams booth by the seventh inning if someone doesn’t block the booze.

He’s had two fly ball opportunities.  Against the wall and just around the corner of the Crawford Boxes.  Played them both perfectly.  Looked really comfortable.

Fine. Caught a liner up against the scoreboard in addition to an F7 in the LCF well.

[Wishbone 4777]

Careful with the hamstrings!

51 exit velo.

That’s a killer

Yordan is AL POW, right?  Even with the two cycles in the AL.

He is to me but JD Martinez has gotten hot, also.

[TonyTexas 10524]

James coming in. Good to see.

Keep winning series

Nice win boys.  We aren’t talking enough about how well our 3, 4 and 5 pitchers are kicking ass right now.

This Astros offense is too dependent on Alvarez.  They only win when he homers.  

 

 

Oh, he homers 75% of the time?  Never mind.  

80%

Opposing pitchers already know the weak spot but it's not easy to bust him with hard stuff inside and hit the high corner. His plate discipline is too good, which is why I expect him to generate a ton of walks in this lineup when he's not crushing bombs. 

[tx 3 putt 77352]

Keep racking up W’s !!!!

another series win
