    There's his fourth hit! Almost would have been his fifth if the ball stayed fair but can't complain. Have a day!

    So what’s going on with Altuve ? He went from a top 20 hitter all time to I dunno.

    The Good:
    Tucker with 4 hits
    Bregman with 2 hits
    Brantley with a home run
    Two stolen bases
    Valdez had a good outing despite some struggles
    That 5-ru 6th inning!!!! :)

    The Bad:
    Gurriel still slumping even if he has had some good contact
    No hits from Reddick either, he's really tailed off lately

    The Ugly:
    Altuve back in the hitless column

    This season has been very disappointing thus far, but it would have been a complete catastrophe had Tucker and Framber not stepped up in a major way.

    Sadly, its the kind of season the media/mlb has brainwashed the general public into wanting us to have.

    The starting pitching has been terrific lately. That bodes well IF we make the playoffs.

    Fun Fact: Yordan Alvarez has hit a home run more recently than Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman

    **** man. Too cold too cold. Lol. But entirely true. I remember Everett well. Too bad he could never hit worth a lick.

    Every season outside of 2018 when Correa was playing with a bad back he's been a very good to elite hitter. I don't know what is wrong with him this season. Maybe he has yet another lingering injury? Also, is it me, or does it seem like he's lost some weight? Looking super skinny these days.
