POTM Altuve vs POTM Alonso
-
Little man, big power.
He doesnt even use the Crawford boxes. Most his HR's are legit 400ft+. Dont know where it comes from. He could probably take Alonzo in arm wrestling.

Hahaha it wasn't a dig towards Altuve, I really like his game. But man when I look at these two cards and see that particular attribute, I just can't help but raise an eyebrow.

Well he uses a buzzer that tells him what pitch is coming. That makes a huge difference.

POTM Daulton Varsho is a monster, that's all I know right now. A catcher with a decent arm (79/85 base) with 79 speed, 54 stealing, and has a swing as smooth as butter? And he's a lefty with outfield secondary position eligibility.
I was doing well with the Prospect Adley Rutschman card but this Varsho card just blows that Adley out of the water. .

Nah, I know. It definitely was just taking the Month into consideration. Because their LS cards arent close power wise. But the older Altuve gets the lower his contact and speed goes and the higher his power goes. Old man strength is real. Alonzo is just raw power.

The thing is anyone in the league would’ve destroyed that pitch. People still defend that hanger to this day.

That pitch was right over the plate man, and yes, a high hanger

Since Altuve started pro ball back in 2013, he's been an aggressive swinger. 2-1 is a hitter count. Y'all can keep using the buzzer excuse if it makes you feel better.
Too bad Lance McCullers was dropping curves and no buzzer, trash can etc would have helped those feeble swings.
Judge ending the 8th pretty much says it all...

You have to think the Yankees were doing something to fall for 24 straight.

What’s wrong with the rep in Houston? Just because a bunch of allstars left and the best they’ve brought in since a WS ring is Ryne Stanek doesn’t mean the entire league is laughing at them and choosing to play literally anywhere else besides Houston. Aledmys Diaz for example, HUGE resigning. Everybody was after the 3 million dollar man.

What have the Yankees brought in?
4-5 full roster turnovers and no WS.
Basing success about who signs as a FA? Yep. Yankee fan. Maybe LA.
BTW, 4 of the last 5 ALCS appearances. Yeah, we must suck.
