    VV pitching great.
    Altuve continues to suck. Mr. Altuve, there is a guy named Kemp at double a, continue sucking like you are, and in 2 years we are going to see a new second basemen for the AStros.

    I wish we'd just call Tony Kemp up and give Altuve a week breather. Dude just needs to take a vacation or something.

    Ive seen some random Astros wanters on twitter saying it, but every scouting report said 92-95. I saw him in person at single A, (In a game Singleton was playing on a rehab assignment) and he touched 94 once and sat 92-93. So he's upped it a couple ticks.

    Not on 40 man roster... would be a pretty costly "breather" to bring Kemp up.

    Where? Gattis is pounding the ball into the ground down the third baseline consistently. This scenario doesn't play in your head as a baserunner? Or TBC?

    I mean, we are gonna have to put him on the 40 man soon anyways. Might as well take Hoes off.

    Highest I can recall seeing reported for him was 98, and players rarely hit that high, and often end up showing less than what reports show. I'm definitely surprised by the consistency of being in the mid-90s
