    Fisher, Reed, Davis, and Tucker all with hits that inning. Either their pitcher is trash (didn't look too good), or my god we're deep.

    I was already excited to see Kyle Tucker at bat and then he hits a homer. My god.

    I can't believe we added Cole for 12mm the next two years and lost nothing. What a steal. Strom gonna work his magic.

    Davis looking good...hope he translates in the majors this year. Dude can hit.

    Yordan is a physical specimen. Can't believe he's only 20. He's listed at 6'5'' 220, but he honestly looks bigger. Dude is yolked.

    That last angle showing the fluid stroke is just... man... this guy is going to be great. Altuve/Correa/etc will help mold this guy. I’ve been on the don’t trade Tucker for anything bandwagon and with swings like that... bring him up now.

    Other than Jacob Dorris (not sure who he is) getting roughed up, a pretty dominate game for the good guys :)

    Sidewinder who had some issues in AAA late last year. Type of guy that has to be amazing to get talked about.

    All of our potential MLB pitchers have been excellent here in the early going.

    McHugh and Paulino looked spectacular yesterday. Both guys hopefully pitching with a chip on their shoulder.

    All those guys have potential to be great just depends if they can put it all together. Saw Reed had a couple of walks as well. Dude could still reach his potential. Lawd what could be if he does along with Tucker.

    Next day is a split squad day, so about 50 guys will get to play. At this point the Astros almost look like they could field two major league teams. One elite playoff team and one that could finish 20th to 25th out of the 30 ML teams.
