    vintage altuve.

    swung at a ball almost 1 foot (perhaps 6 inches lol) below the zone and still got a hit LOL

    Ump's strike zone is bigger than Texas

    At least it's going both teams

    No awareness. All you need to do is walk there. Take the walk.

    cease is not even throwing strikes to walker.

    that's when you know the opponent doesn't even respect you.

    I realize that hitting is very hard…but fellas, if you’re a right handed batter he’s gonna throw you a slider off the ****ing plate. Please, for the love of sweet baby Jesus, stop swinging at that trash.
