2018 Houston Astros Season Thread

George gives Tuve encouragement... LOL. Dude gets 4 hits and credits his teammates.

The booth, and I'll give credit to Bagwell for hitting on it more than once; talked about how much this team pushes each other; whether it is the pitching staff or guys in the batting line up.

 

That is the leadership difference that keeps this team on the right track.  Baseball is cyclical as hell, but the Astros' elite "normal" is because of how the leaders on the team pull in the right direction.  It has spread throughout the clubhouse.

I liked Bagwell in the booth.  Maybe the best part to me was him talking about Reddick getting good secondary leads and just his good baserunning in general.  Bagwell was next level at that stuff.

Totally - Bagwell was great. Not sure he's cut out for an every day gig (or that he'd want one), but I thought he was really interesting to listen to.

What’s the deal with the mitt that Bregman puts on his left hand? Great RBI by Jake.

It's in case he needs to help pull some hotdogs off the rollers, or a hot pot of nacho cheese.

Saw someone a couple days ago putting on a baserunning glove so they would not jam their fingers.  Apparently it also helps for when your hand gets stepped on too.
