    I think he's trying to hard to pull the ball, as they like to say "let the ball travel"/"go the other way".

    4 of the top 10 in OPS in the American League. And that doesn't count Chirinos or Marisnick, who are in the same range but don't have enough ABs. Or that little MVP fellow, whose ascension should balance regression by others.
    2 best relievers in the AL.
    Verlander & Cole.
    4 top-shelf prospects in AAA in exactly the positions of need (SP and 1B/DH).

    If we had hit better with RISP in the first fourth of the year, we might be on pace for the season wins record.

    It's a good time to be an Astros fan.

    Some times you have to take a step back to see how well this team is playing...

    Healthy Altuve being Altuve and Bregman swinging the bat like he can (scary to think he's kind of scuffling at the plate at times right now).
