Calls like that make it hard for Altuve to become more selective.

Altuve can't hear apparently as Maxwell clearly called him off. I'm just glad that no one got hurt.

He looks a bit like a rat, don't you think? His slight overbite and long face combine to give a sort of rat-like appearance.

Ask me in four years. For now, I say no.

I've said here before that the Dodgers don't get enough heat for trading him for Jeff Shaw--only 'cause Cincinnati flipped him for Mike Cameron.

Some might be inclined to wonder how a guy at age 36 can hit .080 points higher than his career average, (hell, he is at career highs in SLG, OPS, all that stuff). That's kind of a "Bondsian" late career surge. Not saying anything, just comparing.

I went to a camp where he was an instructor. I got to talk about Jim Bouton, who he detested, as he was Bouton's pitching coach in Seattle. That was about the time that Bouton was making his comeback with the Braves.
