Yeah the Astros are the only team to even entertain the idea of signing him and even then it was a real uphill climb to get to the big leagues. Always enjoy when Altuve and Correa stand side by side each other and you are reminded of how diminutive this dude is.
This is actually a snapshot of a video paused as I can't find anyone that took this picture. But I think this is the picture that should be used to capture the moment. It's got anything, Altuve rounding the bases, Springer arms up in exultation, everyone coming to home plate for the anticipated epic celebration, and most importantly Chapman stunned in disbelief still in a straddle position, not having left the mound.
The Astros are not looking good at home in the World Series. They lost last night and are behind in tonight's game. Verlander gave up 2 runs in the 1st.
Yea, going to Washington down 2 zip would not be good. The Fat Lady would be riding in First Class. The 'Stros are hitting the ball hard tonight. Unfortunately they are right at fielders.
