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
Alvarezās 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. āYordan was anxious and worried. He wanted to have his parents here,ā [Astros immigration counsel Carlos] Rosas said. āIt played a big role in his mindset. Itās something that was constantly on his mind, and now he can rest.ā

Iāve 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 Iāve never been so happy to be.

Yeah, you told me āThis game is overā during PeƱaās AB. After strike two, I thought it was.

HH saying āthis 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 Iām usually drinking.

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