Astros @ Orioles, August 22, 2024

No, but he’ll definitely be a smaller target over there.

Diaz can also obviously catch everything thrown to him, his issues have been the positioning ones. Hopefully Bregman can avoid some of those missteps. I’d like to think he’s at least familiar with the rules of who needs to go where when.

Excellent writing!
(…from Gamil’s perspective)

Nothing about these Astros resembles those who destroyed the Mariners from 2016 to 2018, save a pint-sized second baseman and a culture that seems to stabilize any turbulence.

Luv it!

Indeed. That was also a joke.

I’d rather a catcher than an OF who’s never played much IF before. Or a rookie IF who’s never played 1B before.

Can he be left handed?

If there’s any infielder who would come out and say “I’ve secretly been learning to play lefthanded over the last 5 years”, it’d be Bregman.

Was Alcantara the last 6-fingured pitcher you know of?

He was twice the pitcher Mordecai Brown was.
