Chandler Rome speculates that stress over getting his parents and brother out of Cuba might have contributed to that funk at the plate during most of Augustā€¦

Hidden

Alvarezā€™s parents and brother attended their first game, a 4-2 win over the Twins, on Aug. 23. In the 30 that followed, Alvarez slashed .343/.436/.638, freeing himself from a late-season funk that some attributed to hand pain and others to mechanical flaws in his batting stance. Both could have contributed to the downturn. Alvarez acknowledged each as a factor but kept silent about the uncertainty enveloping his family. ā€œYordan was anxious and worried. He wanted to have his parents here,ā€ [Astros immigration counsel Carlos] Rosas said. ā€œIt played a big role in his mindset. Itā€™s something that was constantly on his mind, and now he can rest.ā€

Iā€™ve wondered how the Venezuelan MLBers have kept things together with the all issues back home.

3 go ahead HRs 6th inning or later with team behind in the playoffs.

No player has ever done that before in an entire career and Yordan did it in a 13 game span in a single post season.

I had zero expectations the Astros would win that game heading into the 9th.

Hope, of course. But no expectations.

Still blows me away.

After Altuve Ked, I did not even have hope because PeƱa chased so many sliders.

I did not either. I honestly thought PeƱa was overwhelmed. He proved me wrong. And Iā€™ve never been so happy to be.

Yeah, you told me ā€œThis game is overā€ during PeƱaā€™s AB. After strike two, I thought it was.

HH saying ā€œthis game is overā€ in the 3rd inning of any random game is pretty much OWA gold.

I love all yall, and this means nothing.

I admire the restraint in waiting till the 3rd inning.

To be fair, I only say it in the GZ, which is like an alternate reality anyway. And Iā€™m usually drinking.

Things in the GZ stay in the GZ as they say.
