This was from Jamey Newberg a few days ago and is a major key to our success I think.

Jose Altuve is a .341/.401/.551 (.952 OPS) hitter this season. He’s a legitimate MVP candidate.


Against Texas, in a reasonably significant 83 plate appearances, he was a .282/.386/.493 (.878) hitter.


A dropoff. Not a drastic one, necessarily, but Houston’s best player wasn’t at his best against Texas.


But how about the team’s second- and third-best players?


Carlos Correa (.271/.361/.453 [.814]) against the league: .159/.266/.188 (.454) in 79 trips against the Rangers.


George Springer (.254/.359/.455 [.814]) against the league: .165/.267/.342 (.608) in 90 times up against Texas.

This is crazy and insane. Remember HFA
I expected a lineup like this the first day after they clinched. Probably another one like it the last game of the season.

I never expect a manager to field a team he doesn't believe can win and that's the case here imo

In other happy news, Ken Giles was hit on the arm by a line drive during batting practice and had to be carted off the field. AJ Hinch said his outlook was "not good".

To all those who say karma isn't real, I believe this is what is known as "Exhibit A".

I don't like when Chirinos fakes that throw to 1st because he is not able to frame the pitch. There have been a number of times a bordeline pitch was thrown but he jumps up so quick that the ump calls it a ball. Just so happens that wasn't a bordeline pitch.
