  4. I just want to see one full healthy season out of alvarez. Like come back this year and rake and then next season play 143 games. I don't think that's too much to ask. I really hope he can figure out how to stay healthy through a major league baseball schedule

  10. Astros living on hopes and prayers… better pray that the M's choke…. tough luck but it is about time the M's win the division.

  17. Don't put all of that pressure on Yordan, he's only one man…the guys around him in the lineup need to get hits also…if not, opposing pitchers will throw AT Yordan rather than pitch to him…that's how he got injured in the first place…his weak spot are pitches high and inside, if he doesn't make contact, it will make contact with him in the hands, arms and upper body…

  19. What I wanna know is when Paradeis does come back, whenever it may be, what do they do between him and Correa? They’ve both been producers and the other corner, Christian Walker is coming around to do what we always knew he could do.

  20. Am I the only one who has no faith that he will actually return to the lineup tonight? It would be typical of this team to leave him rehabbing for several more games. The lack of urgency makes them predictable WRT how they handle getting injured players back on the MLB roster.

  21. Why am I not excited for Yordons return! I dont think he wants too! Im not sure he really likes baseball.. Every time he gets hurt, he stays out way longer than the injury requires. Every injury is a mystery. I think its all between his ears! Look at altuve he broke his hand and came back too early but found a way to get back on the field. Im not sure if alvarez's heart is in the same place. I hope Im wrong because he is so talented and could stand amoungst the greats in baseball. If he can stay healthy!

  22. Cam Smith is not making adjustments. That’s why he’s struggling. All this he hasn’t played this many games are excuses because he’s young.
