He's been really good since he got here in that trade with the Twins. Unfortunately got hurt in '19 and didn't get back to his pre-injury form after his surgery. He would have been extremely helpful in getting another ring.
I think his combined fwar is 4.9 (3.7 hitting 1.2 pitching). That would be the most in baseball (DeGrom and Guerrero have 4.8). Either way, I agree with you that even if he may not be having technically the most productive season ever, the fact that he is essentially filling 2 position at a star and superstar level makes his season one of the most remarkable in history.

How were teams/cities chosen for the City Connect uniforms? Is there any word on when the Astros will get one? And, what they'd use to represent Houston? Red Sox - Boston Marathon Marlins - Cuban Triple-A affiliate White Sox - Southside Diamondbacks - Serpientes Giants - Golden Gate Bridge Cubs Dodgers remain.
(I think?) Every team will get one but it’s rolled out over multiple years. No word when the Astros will get one. And probably something stupid/ugly (to represent Houston).
If they can make a visual representation of fog for San Fran, I'm sure they can figure out a way to do humidity.
“I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith. We’re going to tell you about a great man. It’s a loss for the Royals family. This is George Gorman, who passed away at the age of 96. He served our country in WWII. He went to the University of Kansas and so did his son Pat Gorman, who’s been working for the Royals in the clubhouse for 26 years. That was Pat’s father. That’s a great life, 96 years. Pat, just like his dad went to KU. Also went to Bishop Ward High School as there’s a drive into deep left center field by Castellanos, that will be a home run, and so that will make it a 2-2 ballgame. There’s never a great time to eulogize someone during the broadcast so I don’t know if I’m going to be putting on this headset again.”
If they don’t incorporate strip clubs with strip malls… and a touch of feeder road reference, then they’re not doing the city justice. Maybe also a logo of the astrodome with the “condemned” sign on it?
If the City Connect uniforms weren't enough for you, now there's Mixed Font Hats... and many are already sold out too. https://www.neweracap.com/Sports/MLB/MLB-Mixed-Font/c/SPOMLBMF?count=48&q=:relevance#toListing Spoiler
