Jose Altuve already 2-for-2 with a single and double. Astros on top 2-1

Matt Dominguez has turned into a double play machine lately. Two more men left on base. Astros have left 4 on base in 3 innings.

Shoemaker has to be relieved to still be in the game...

There's the ballgame. 4-2 Angels in the bottom of the 4th. Two-run double by David Freese. Should the Astros look to trade Jose Altuve? We can probably get a boat load of top prospect (three or four elite prospects) for him since he's a young superstar at second base with a salary under $950,000 a year. I'm only kidding of course but this is disheartening to me.

Triple*

Yeah they changed it to a triple. I'm already done with this game. Going to go watch a movie.

Jose Altuve may hit over .360 with 60 stolen bases this year. He won't even sniff a second or third-place vote in the MVP voting, much less a first place vote on this sad excuse for a team. I want to see this kid flourish on a contender.

well no. not when trout will be hitting .325+ with 35+ HRs, 120+ rbis and 20+ SB.

edit: not to mention 40+ 2B and 10+ triples

The Angels and Mariners will likely win both the wild-card spots for the play in game in the AL. A lot of easy division wins left against the Rangers and Astros still on the schedule for both teams.

Oh look. 121 hits now for Altuve on the year. Leading all of baseball. His third hit of the game. 3-for-3 tonight. Batting average up to .352. Put Altuve on the Angels you'd have the best lineup in the past decade I think.

I want some of that delicious looking ice cream sundae in a mini batting helmet that I see an Angels fan eating in the sixth row. 4th of July dessert galore to say the least.

Good game. Angels won 5-2.

Jose Altuve finished 3-for-5. You got him out his last two at-bats. Batting average fell to .347
