The Express sent me an email this afternoon that Altuve will be playing in Round Rock tonight. He's going to be busy, because I swear he's the understudy Alexander Hamilton in "Hamilton" down at UT right now.

B1:

Bregman walks
Brantley walks, Bregman to 2B
Gurriel...0-2...1-2...2-2...strikes out swinging
Alvarez singles to RF, Bregman to 3B, Brantley to 2B...hit it so hard Bregman couldn't score
Chirinos singles to RF...little bouncer right down the 1B line...Bregman scores, Brantley scores, Alvarez to 3B
Reddick flies out F7, Alvarez tags and scores...give Red Dog a sacrifice
White...full count...flies out F8...squared it up, but Grichuk ran it down over his head on the track

3-0 Astros

Was there a velo on the ball White hit?  Looked like he nutted it, but on a line right at Grichuk.  Good to see him drive a ball up the middle.

Maile is an excellent pitch framer. On balls slightly outside it seems by the time he closes his glove, it is within the zone.

If you listen closely you can hear furious crumpling of paper as teams across the AL rewrite their approach to Alvarez.

He got beat upstairs the other night. But I don't expect that to work long-term because I think his eye is good enough to lay off pitches that are up out of the zone. And if you bring it down into the zone, he's quick enough to get to it and powerful enough to drive it the opposite way.

Rent a car and drive around, bask in the splendor and temporarily forget you live in Dallas. Go to Hangar on the Wharf and eat fresh caught salmon or halibut. Go to the governors mansion and look at Russia.

Just remember that when you get to the edge of town, the road ends.

He takes them. Working on hitting the hard stuff is on management’s likely agenda, but he will hit them too soon. Amazing patience for so young.  5-6 walks in four games?

Patience and knowledge of the strike zone. It will be interesting to see if Toronto will pitch to him at all.

And so quiet in the box. It's as if he can determine very early whether a pitch is worth bothering with.
