    Breggy has drifted away from a pure three true outcomes hitter the last few games and it’s been fun to watch. Both versions of him are fantastic but I side with this one.

    Berkman is a bit wordy, but he is informative.

    He honestly might be better off walking him. Lol.

    Broadcast said Alvarez looked good on that advance.

    Sore knees be damned

    I don't like that slide by Yordan. That could have been really bad for the knees.

    Man, Alvarez is so large that his slides scare me, seems to always come in with his legs bunched up

    I like linedrive gap-to-gap '18 Bregman

    He absolutely needs to work on his baserunning. He's bad.

    eta: he does jog from home to 2nd and home to home really well

    Started with his article from this morning about Greinke and then its just his overall tweets when it comes to this team. Some media members can just come off terrible while covering teams.

    Imagine how scared shitless a pitcher must be to get in the game with the bases loaded with Bregman, Yordan and Correa due up?

    Carlos and Bregman are going nuts right now. Altuve, Uncle Mike, Yordan, Springer, Yuli...all of the core guys are killing it.

    It's almost unfair, and I love it.

    That was a nasty strike 3 to Yordan. Tip the cap.

    eta: Sheesh, this guy has some serious tailing action on his fastball.

    Started with this.


    And then stuff like this:


    Don't get me wrong. I think this team is going to be special and it's totally warranted to pump this team up. And then you have some that just take it too far. We have guys in the Houston media that make this fanbase look weak. Even if it's twitter, these guys have a media platform that unfortunately reflect poorly on Houston fans.
