The only record I want Altuve to break is the postseason homerun record. That would be so sick.
Ricky Henderson had 297 homeruns and few thousand stolen bases.
] In AA. It was plenty hittable in AAA
Let's hope he figures it out because he has all the other tools. Power and speed can be a deadly combo
Yeah, I never expected Meyers to maintain his hitting. I think slightly above average bat is a win for us. His defense is so good.
I'm optimistic also but making contact is easier said than done especially for a guy that has never been known for contact at any level. The...
Whitcomb yes, Melton no. Melton isn't really blocked since Altuve in LF is an experiment at this point, and Meyers only has 2 more years of...
What did he say about Melton? The dude has so much potential but looks so lost at the same time. Either he's going to be an all-star or be a AAAA...
Even MVP candidates have an adjustment period in the majors. The fact that he is hitting decently is a good thing. It's easier for him to adjust...
His launch angles are about the same as Dubon at around 7 degrees. MLB average is around 12.5 and guys like Shohei and Judge are closer to 20....
@Nook Cam has one of the lowest launch angles in the majors along with elite bat speed. Do you think they will adjust his swing in the off-season....
His current swing will never produce a lot of dongs. He's a line drive hitter. If they adjust it, it will be in the offseason. His launch angle...
I'm not familiar with this story. You have any more details?
Why couldn't we have signed Paul Goldschmidt instead. He's been a stud for the Yankees at 12million.
All I know is that Crane better make Miller and Murphy the highest paid coaches in the MLB. They are worth their weight in gold.
I would do it if the package was as good as what we got for Tucker, but there can't be that many stupid GM's in the league.
I don't know what it is about Whitley's fastball but it's the most hittable 95+mph fastball I've seen. He might as well be a human batting cage.
As long as Framber, Brown, and LMJ can stay healthy, I think we can survive. I would go to war in the playoffs with those 3 and whoever is...
Considering we can turn Gusto and JP into more than serviceable MLB pitchers, it's a shame we couldn't do the same for someone with all the talent...
It's not a huge issue this year but there will be some point in the future where his bat will get worse and his defense will get worse and it will...
