Dusty deserves credit for the great job he's done this year. Astros are the only team in World Series history to overcome multiple deficits in a road elimination game and survived Be careful talking good about Baker. Someone may egg your house. |

I noticed Correa played a huge role in the 9 runs we put up last night by going 3-5 and driving in two runs. Marwin drove in the winning runs with a bases loaded pinch single. I could have sworn that I read somewhere that Correa should GTFO and that Marwin should not be on the team. LMAO.
On a side note, Greinke has the same number of hits as Bregman and one more than Alvarez.

Just mentioned facts. If he had been productive, he would be getting credit for it. As it was, he was awful he had to be dropped down in the lineup where he should have been from the start of the post-season. I seriously hope he helps us win the next two games. |

He did manage a big RBI double in game 5 before going back to his routine of hitting popups. He has been nothing close to what he was at the end of 2019. His power is gone. |

I would go with: Altuve Brantley Correa Tucker Gurriel Alvarez Bregman Maldonado McCormick I would save Siri for late inning pinch runner duty. Shouldn't we find a spot for Marwin and his red hot bat? I'm surprised no one wants to start Marwin at 3B. Alex hasn't been gettin alotta love lately

Right now, it probably wouldn't matter due to Bregman's lack of run production. Marwin drove in as many runs with one swing as Bregman has in five games. |

I’m sure that the number of times Altuve has had a 1-0 or 2-0 count is an extremely small sample size. Not even enough to justify mentioning. Hard to have a 1-0 or 2-0 count when you swing at the first pitch every at-bat. The numbers I quoted were for his entire career. It's a sample size of about 600 ABs. I'd say that's pretty significant. |

Because he is a .400+ hitter with a 1.000+ OPS on 1-0 and 2-0 counts, and a .371 hitter on 0-0. I'm sure the thinking is that they like their chances better hoping to beat him on a first pitch strike than falling behind and then having the equivalent of Ted Williams if he takes a ball. Let me get this straight. I hope I'm wrong, but, are you seriously comparing Altuve to Ted Williams? Williams knew the strike zone and seldom chased a pitch. Jose will swing at anything he can reach. It is Kyle Tucker who has his swing compared to Ted Williams. I think of Jesus Alou watching Altuve swing. No, I'm not comparing the two. Im using Williams as a description of how well Altuve hits in those counts compared to when he isn't in those counts. The reason why they throw him a strike early. |

The negative thing about his approach is his tendency to swing at the first pitch even if it's not a strike.. I doubt if there is any data on it, but, I'd be willing to bet that nobody in baseball sees fewer pitches per AB than Altuve or makes more first pitch outs. I wish he'd lose his home run or nothing mentality. |

Marwin's hit was a bloop, just lucky. Luck or not, it drove in the two winning runs. Lots of guys get "lucky" hits like that one. I am not saying Marwin belongs in the lineup.....just pointing out that his bloop hit produced as many runs as Bregman has in the entire WS |

Post by olpapa on Nov 2, 2021 12:16:46 GMT -6
I would venture a guess that the vast majority of those significant 600 ABs occurred in the years when he was getting 200+ hits a year, hitting to all fields and not flailing away at any pitch thrown anywhere in the same zip code he is in.

Actually, I consider it significant that you consider it significant that in about 10% of the at-bats in Altuve’s career he DIDN’T swing at one of the first two pitches when both pitches were outside the strike zone. |

Well, Bregman has done nothing to warrant staying in the lineup. The problem with replacing him is it is doubtful if Marwin or Diaz would be an improvement. I can't endorse anyone to replace him although he definitely needs to be replaced. Greinke has the same number of hits as Bregman, but, I don't know if he's ever played third base. LOL |

This is why it’s hard to believe that Yordan is a franchise player. As much as we dog Bregman, we forget that Álvarez routinely disappears for long stretches on offense. We can’t lean on his defense like Correa because Yordan is a non-factor with the glove.
It’s also why I partly hate the DH.
