I can't either except when he goes after a pitch not even close to the strike zone as he did yesterday TWICE. First time, the pitch was further outside and in the dirt and he struck out. Then, came to line drive that doubled George off first base. In another at bat, he went after one over his head and hit a weak fly ball to right. He had terrible at bats all night. Someone walking off the street and joining this forum would think the guy is batting .234 rather than .334.  |

Pujols is a bad baserunner. He got thrown out at second after tagging up at first on a flyout.

There is not an outfielder in the game who would not throw out a guy as slow as Pujols is now. He’s so slow, old, and fat now. I could barely recognize him in those big bloomer pants he’s wearing today. |

Pujols is a bad baserunner. He got thrown out at second after tagging up at first on a flyout. Pujols should never attempt to advance to the next base unless it is a force play or the ball leaves the park. |

Was I the only one not upset at Altuve’s line drive lunge moves yesterday? When it doesn’t work, it looks stupid, but I can never get mad with him taking a conscious opposite field approach with a runner at first base.
any normal Astro fan would agree he doesn't need to prove he's capable of given the hardware he's won |

When it doesn't work though y'all continue to set your hair on fire over it. At some point one has to accept his approach if you're going to appreciate the amazing at-bats

Unless a hit and run play is on, no hitter should swing at the pitches Altuve swung at in the game at Tropicana Field. I have no trouble "accepting his approach" as long as his decision to swing is a wise one. We all know he is a "hacker" and nobody is suggesting he change....just to "hack" at pitches he can hit instead of lunging at ones out of his reach. |

It was hard to tell due to camera angle and all but that pitch looked to be at least 15" off the plate. How did he even hit the damn thing. |

When was Jose ever considered a self disciplined hitter, he is a hacker and will always be. It works when you try to foul off close pitches. Getting all happy with it and swinging at anything instead of seeing the ball well may be the difference this season compared to last year. |
