I will say this. Altuve is a tiny little beast. Every time he came to the plate I was nervous.
 
But, fuck him.

Fuck Dusty Baker.

Fuck Astros fans.

We are headed to the Fall Classic. :towel

I was nervous through the gambit of Altuve, Bergman, and Alvarez.

Their scouting and front office is so good that they've set themselves up to be really good for years to come..... Which is crazy to think about because they're already on a run of 7 straight ALCS appearances.

But between Altuve and Alvarez, they've got 2 monsters to build around in the lineup with Bregman being a consistently solid contributor.

And assuming that Jeremy Peña rebounds from his sophomore slump, they've got 3 really good young players coming up in him, Mauricio Dubon, and Chas McCormick.

So they've got the roster to continue to compete at a high level for the next few years.

I'm sure they'll address the starting pitching in the offseason and if they do, those pesky bastards will be in the mix for the pennant again next season.
 
Sorry, I apologized in advance.

Alvarez was unreal. He was almost like Bonds minus the size 14 head.

I think he's the best pure hitter in baseball right now.

I think Smoltz absolutely nailed it when he said he reminded him of Manny Ramirez because that's exactly who he reminds me of too, only he hits for more power than Manny.

But Manny is one of my favorite players ever and what was so impressive about him and now with Alvarez is that it's so hard to fool them.

They just work the shit out of the pitch count and they make you pay even when you don't make a mistake.

As long as he stays healthy, he's going to have an incredible career.
