re: DAT 4/6: HOU 2- SEA -4 | F

Altuve sucks right now. There's no beating around that one. He's in a major slump (by Altuvian standards). It took 100 games last season for him to have his 3rd game with 2 strikeouts and he's reached that in 4 games.

He may need a day off to watch his game film and identify some issues. I'd be fine with that. It just seems to come down to his plate approach. Taking some good pitches, being susceptible to chasing off speed below the zone. He'll break out of it, hopefully soon.


Some of the other guys, I'm not as sure about. Beltran is old as dirt. Can he continue to hit or has he dropped off a cliff? Yuli...he's not a proven ML hitter yet. Still got to show that he can consistently hit.
