They follow in the bitch made shoes of Dave Roberts. Perpetual victimhood. Remember light gate this year? A partial bank of lights went out and came back on at Minute Maid and Roberts was going on in post game about how he didn't know if it was intentional but it was poor gamesmanship.


quote:

The Houston Astros have an MLB-leading 81.2% contact percentage. It's their highest contact percentage since 2017, when it was also 81.2%.



shite its almost like in an era where rosters are built around strikeouts and home runs, the Astros built their roster around contact hitters. Weird.

What's funny is that only Altuve, Correa, Bregman, and Gurriel were on that 2017 team.

They've added Brantley, who has a career 90.9% contact rate.
Kyle Tucker is up, his contact rate is 79.8% for his career and 81.7% so far this season.
Yordan Alvarez is at 77.8% for his career.
And then there's future MVP Myles Straw, with a career 88.4% contact rate and up to 89.9% this year.

It's almost like this is something that the Astros value in their hitters, and in the case of Tucker, Alvarez, and Straw, instill in them at lower levels.
