RED ALERT: They’re afraid of Yordan Álvarez! While Álvarez is seeing fewer pitches in the strike zone (41.2%, lowest percentage of his career), the good thing is he’s chasing at a lower rate. His chase percentage has gone down from 28.6% in 2019 to 17.5% this year. ...he’s whiffed just at 7.1% of the fastballs he’s seen so far. https://www.crawfishboxes.com/2021/4/4/22366778/astros-red-alert-theyre-afraid-of-yordan-alvarez
Yep, posted about that in the useless "Other Sports" MLB thread, thanks for reminding me about this one. Hope he stays healthy and kicks ass, MLB needs superstars. I also hope the Angels lose every game against the Stros for the rest of his career. Watch out for Jared Walsh with the Halos too. They've ditched his 2-way career because they like him enough at 1B. They're building a pretty solid team.
He figures that with the Stros catching all the heat, nobody will care if he gets caught cheating again.
It is somewhat ironic that the Nationals can’t even play a game due to an outbreak, the NCAA championship is about to be played with minimal fans, and here’s the Rangers simply ignoring all precaution... all because they couldn’t do it last year.
Rangers money grabbing while they can. They know no one will want to watch once they’re 40 games below 500. For an organization unmoved by the outfall from Harvey, color me unsurprised they pull this off.
