This is unfair to Mr. Happy, but what the hell. I remember him grousing about Altuve's lousy defense a couple of seasons ago, but that little guy has turned into a really good defender. His range is a bit limited, but he's getting *really* good on the turn at second base.

subnuclear · « **Reply #13 on:** May 15, 2015, 08:16:22 pm »

Altuve hits a big one to LCF. Scores Carter and Marisnick. Astros 7-1. 1 out.

He can hit pretty good in spite of his defense.

I can not imagine getting my hair cut at the ballpark. But anyway, it's a fundraiser and not happening at every game, the cutters volunteer their time and the money goes to charity.

My complaints about Altuve were concerning his mental decisions, but he's improved a lot there. I agree with you that he's now a very good at 2B.

Are you telling me that Terry Puhl came here to plant the seeds of our subjugation? I don't believe it.

I never suspected Puhl. No wonder those Canadians are so effective.
