12 pitch 123 first for Brown. K/3-1/6-3

I certainly didn’t remember that Brown was on the 22 WS roster.

Oh, yeah, he showed up late in the season and turned into the secret weapon.

Sanchez dispatches Astros on 10 pitches in the first.

I’m pretty sure Altuve has not had a hit in the last week.

Edited to add: In the last week, 26 plate appearances, 18 AB’s, 1 hit and 7 walks. So, I was 100% off. He had one hit.

He looked pretty bad in that first plate appearance.

I’d be totally cool with him being DH only 8 out of 10 games until Yordan comes back.

Sanchez throwing some nasty shit today.

I appreciate Walker’s defense but the have never seen an everyday player look more lost at the plate.

Has Walker ever had stretches this bad earlier in his career?

I did a double-take to make sure this wasn’t a Hyperbole Hudson post.

Of course you have, as recently as last season at the same position.

Did you just watch that Dubon AB???

I would differentiate as Abreu clearly being washed - you could tell he couldn’t catch up to anything. Walker has zero clue where the ball is going.

If Hunter could get ANY run support, he’d be working on win 11 today.

Altuve is in one of his flail at literally everything phases.

That usually follows him getting hot for a few weeks then panicking because he’s cooling off. He’ll start hitting the ball the other way in a few days/a week and come around again.

Hunter doing what is necessary!

He did things to Schwarber that are illegal in 47 states

All I want for Christmas is 2 more runs.
Christmas on June 26.

Strike 3 was pure anger. Swinging at a pitch around his eye-black. Wonderful!!
