    Screw the National League- I get tradition, I do, but I actually really prefer the Astros being in the American League. Hitters don't pitch, and pitchers don't hit.

    Gurriel is on pace for 40 doubles.

    Wonder what the record is at his batting order spot.

    His 20 HR-pace might be a record too.

    "Dansby Swanson" sounds and looks like the guy who was my pledge leader at UT in '93.

    Yes, in the rarest of occasions. But, you know, I meant like they don't have pinch-pitchers.

    (I'm really not drunk, just talking stupid)

    Will probably get resolved with the next CBA.

    There is a huge competitive balance issue between the AL and NL. They are dominating interleague play matchups every year.

    (As it is, the NL didn't adopt the DH originally on a flukey turn of events when the teams went to vote... good story if you have time to look it up).

    One of the greatest to ever come out of Cuba is starting to play like it.

    It's almost like he needed a little time to get acclimated to American baseball or something.

    If you had said he was going to hit .285 / 20HR, 35 2B, I'd think everyone would sign up for that.

    I was expecting a "Aoki's a hitter?" retort. :)

    So much fun.

    Remember when people insisted Reddick was going to consistently platoon against LHP's....Jake was a better hitter they said......

    I was definitely one of those people on Reddick. So pleasantly surprised at what he's done
