He had a .274 career batting average in the minors. He isn't a .186 hitter that he had last season lol.

Anyway, the season is still very young, so let's see how he does from here on out.

He's not a .186 hitter but he's in danger of dropping into the .240's for his career and that's probably what we're looking it.

Everyone loves to shit on Stanton in terms of being useful outside of homeruns, but Gary makes him look like Ichiro.
 
To me, Sanchez is in the mold of an Eichel, Duchene, Seguin.

He's absolutely an elite talent, but there's always going to be baggage.

And of course this goes back to the trope that the Yankees' problems would be the Rangers' holy grail.
 
Despite Wheeler being absolutely horrendous. The Mets really pulled it together, came up short but they don’t quit.

Conforto, Alonso, and McNeil are absolutely killing the baseball.

I just wish some how we could get both Dallas and Kimbrel. Sigh

I watched that highlight and want my six minutes back. Was a single punch thrown?

Baseball brawls almost never have them. Lots of yelling and chest puffing and pushing but its more or less capped there.

Which is fine because getting injured in a baseball brawl would be whack as hell
 
HORRIFIC ABs by Sanchez and Gleyber. Horrific. You have Verlander’s back against the wall. You are on pace to get his pitch count over 60 pitches after 3 innings, working your way toward the bullpen in game 1 of the 3 game set. Then those two idiots swing at the first pitch and be so so unproductive.

Even more upset with Sanchez. If you are gona swing at the first pitch at the top of the zone you better damn well get on top of it. I dont care how many HRs you hit against the shitty Orioles, this is Houston and Verlander and you need every run.

I think it's the hitting philosophy. This team has had terrible at bats in big spots for years now.
