H1t P@n@ 2nd !!!!!!
I mean your stat you posted helps prove that because he has only hit there 10 times since June 1 and has went to shit. (doesn't help Yordan got hurt around that same time)

His splits are still better with him hitting 2nd than anywhere else.

So you can either try to get the most out of him batting him in front of Yordan, or you can let him rot 6-9 and be pretty worthless.

Pena owes most of his batting sucess to Yordan imo

I was thinking about this yesterday and Pena's performance is really being overlooked in light of the other struggles on the roster. 

Keith Law updated his top 60 prospect list the other day and Baltimore has a SS that's blocked in AAA behind Gunnar Henderson with Jackson Holliday coming in behind him (Joey Ortiz).  Very different game from Pena (far better contact ability/strike zone judgement with less power).  I wonder if there's any chance of a match there, maybe on a three-way trade.

Ortiz is a plus defender who had an opportunity earlier this season in Baltimore.  Defense was not the problem.  He didn’t get untracked at the plate and that cost him consistent playing time competing with veterans Adam Frazier, Ramon Urias, and Jorge Mateo.  They sent him down so he could play everyday.

While Ortiz is Norfolk’s daily SS, he’s cross trained at 2B and 3B.  I wouldn’t characterize him as blocked as much as the possible odd man in a large group that includes Henderson, Holliday, Jordan Westburg, Mateo, Frazier, and Urias.

It’s going to be one hell of a celebration dance …..

On Saturday, the Astros will have a pre-game ceremony for Jose Siri who will receive his 2022 World Series ring

This will be my least favorite of these ring ceremonies….

until next year when Bligh Madris comes through with Oakland or Colorado or whichever other AAAA squad he’s playing for

Thanks man, that just sent me down the rabbit hole of looking through the Pirates records from 2013-present. I had zero recollection of their 2015 98 win season.

If there was a way to bet if Yordan would be in the lineup tonight, I would have bet my entire savings on him not being in it.

Collating rumors, Astros have had discussions about trading for:

OF: Robert, Jimenez, Bellinger

RP: Pierce Johnson (was traded to ATL yesterday)

1000000% unverified and take with a grain of salt …..

I have heard that the Astros have agreed to a deal to acquire Verlander from the Mets. I know nothing of details, just that. Again, guy that told me has been right before. This was him last year 👇. If any other MLB teams get a whim of this, I’m just a nobody. Know this.

Yordan Alvarez is doing some running in right field during early work. The Astros said he is not speaking to reporters today.

Waiting until the final series of the regular season to play our best lineup will give us a ton of momentum going into spring training.

He also tweeted this today

Unless there has been a setback or some mystery condition or disease that exists, I’m fully expecting Yordan Alvarez to be hitting 3rd in the lineup for the Houston Astros tonight.

lmao i don't think 90% of this thread did.  Big difference between hoping he plays to expecting.  Dana Brown is a known liar already.

i'm not comfortable with him playing until he's ready to speak to reporters.

#14632

here we go lmao 

 

Yordan Alvarez is “real close” to being activated, Dusty Baker said. He said it could be tomorrow or Wednesday.

 

or friday, or saturday or 2026 or fuck all

Tell me you're not Dusty Baker without telling me you're not Dusty Baker.

Seriously, is keeping him on the line all that shocking at this point?

Dusty Baker said Yordan Alvarez will not hit today. He said Alvarez is physically able to hit.

Most important series of the season and we’re resting 2 of our best players who are close to but not quite 100% healthy to be extra precautious. I guess only the fans feel like this series is critical to win

Teddy Roosevelt said speak softly and carry a big stick...

 

Alvarez doesn't speak at all and does some jogging.

 

But he's carrying a big stick every step of the way.
