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.
Well he uses a buzzer that tells him what pitch is coming. That makes a huge difference.
I heard it is actually implanted in his head. Elon Musk stuff.

Who else sits on a 3-2 slider from Chapman?

Probably the other Astros with a buzzer.

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.

Umm, you mean 5 straight alcs. Winning 3 pennants
Plus to add to the guy above. Pressly has been brought in. Brantley came in after and keeps resigning. Verlander resigned. Young players signing for less when they could have waited out there rookie contracts at hit big with another team like Bregman and just now Alvarez. That whole sign stealing thing wasn't an Astro thing. It was a player thing. Beltran and Cora manipulating young players to follow their lead. Now they are gone. And the guys that left, Marisnik, Marwin Gonzalez, Springer and Correa, were all linked to the cheating scandal and wanted a change of scenery hoping people would forget I am sure.

They also have to keep the OVRs consistent. They're trying to have accurate representations of output in May, while also having the rating be exactly 93 or 94 or whatever they all are.

I've been a fan of Houston for many years. I guess 1986 was my first season I can really remember from start to finish. I turned 9 that summer. What a fun season season. Unfortunately little did I know I was about to endure many many years of not just the Astros but also the Oilers choking like they just hit a gravity bong lit a Marlboro Red. Also to whom

Ahh, the early 90's Oilers broke my heart. Luckily the Rockets were there to pick it up.

No offense dude but have you seen Alonso hit? Did you see the HR derbys or the 53 HRs that Polar Pete hit? In 12 years Altuve has hit 175, in 4 Alonso has hit 122. Not to mention the distances of the shots Alonso hits.... I love Altuve but from a pure power standpoint he's not even close to Alonso. I could see giving him a much bigger PCI , that would make sense ....but pure power when a ball is squared up? Alonso should easily be +10 over Altuve if not more
