    Perhaps Yuli has been secretly saving himself all year for the playoffs.

    800+ OPS in October baby!

    This will be the only way we achieve the ultimate goal. If the pitching can stay within line of where it is now then maybe this is the year where we have guys step up and do their thing when it matters most vs. watching someone in the NL do it.

    Was looking at Yuli and his younger brothers stats. They have over 900 at bats and a combined 12….homers. Both of them have quit hitting homeruns.

    I don't see this team winning it all with Yordan looking so feeble up there. He's got to get going again.

    Yordan has been off for over a month and this version of him is no where close to his MVP caliber performance at the plate earlier this year. Imo, he is a major concern, especially with the other holes in the lineup. Yordan has been not much better than light hitting Yuli the past month.

    After resigning Verlander this offseason needs to be dedicated to 100% offense.

    We're so lucky to have a player like Yuli on our team.

    I would love if they opened up the checkbooks for Trea Turner to be the steady #2 hitter between Altuve and Alvarez. Use his speed to convert him to CF (he's played there before).
