Imagine a 5’6” first baseman? Matty Alou was in the ball park range. I remember comparing Altuve's floor way in the beginning to Matty Alou in a discussion with Ashitaka. Saying we could reasonably expect one batting title in his career, and now he's got like four

1. Springer RF 2. Bregman 2B 3. Correa SS 4. Gurriel 3B 5. Gattis DH 6. Gonzales LF 7. Stassi C 8. White 1B 9 Marisnick CF vs 1. Kiermaier CF 2. Duffy 3B 3. Bauers 1B 4. Ramos C 5. Wendle 2B 6. Cron DH 7. Smith LF 8. Gomez RF 9. Hechavarria SS
Interesting that we're resting three regulars. Altuve, Reddick and Kemp.

Totally unexpected after the last time with Fedoriwicz. I thought Verlander was going to have a conniption fit.

I am not surprised Stassi in there.......he needs to hit against Snell instead of McCann. Verlander knows Stassi whereas he did not the other guy who is now history. It will be fine. Verlander needs to get used to pitching to both catchers.

Seattle 1, Yankees 1 first inning. Is there any way they could both lose?

Altuve is 2 for 7 vs. Snell with 2 homers. Clipboard says rest him.

While I know it's impossible, I wish I could hear Lowell Passe call a game again.

If the Astros win without Altuve....AJ is a genius.
If the Astros lose without Altuve....it’s AJ’s fault. This one is on AJ.

In theory we should be able to beat Tampa Bay without him.

Why isn’t Springer sitting instead? Clipboard

earlier during Kiermaier's AB illustrating the shift. But they got it right moments later announcing the defense

We could stand to have more patient ABs vs Snell

Thinking about the speculation on mlbtv that the Astros might go after Abreu, it would seem like tonight’s game...with Altuve sitting out and Yuli at third....would be an ideal opportunity to get a look at Bregman in LF while letting Marwin play second base.

maybe not take a swing until you have one strike on you
