    Abreu is capable of MVP level play. He has not been right this season.

    The context is helpful but given how Diaz has played it still doesn't make sense.

    All the more reason he should’ve never played 99 of the first 100 games.

    He rarely DNP’d. He rarely DH’d. He was always middle order.

    He deteriorated the 2nd half last season and isn’t getting younger.

    Anyone else want to see Blummer catch an Abreu HR from the Crawford Boxes tonight?

    Altuve should've tripled, but great start/double nonetheless


    Eta- would've scored if Bregman's single happened the same. Still plenty hope though

    Sac fly, Tuck !!

    1-0

    Even when Tucker gets out it’s still scary for opposing teams. I’ll take an RBI!

    Yes he is, thankfully he’s stopped trying to pull
    for power this year and it’s paying off
