    having the best average in the league and scoring the most runs in the league over a 4 or 5 week period means something. it does not mean everything. but for a team who was in the bottome tier in these categories for the previous 3 months, it means things are trending upwards. and with the addition of pence it means things have a good chance of even getting better. this isn't rocket science.


    hitting season is upon us, as predicted. enjoy the ride. :mrgreen:

    If you predict it's hitting season once a week, you are bound to be right at some point over the course of 162 games.

    so after watching pence for a week I don't see how he hits so many HRs (I know he doesn't hit a ton, but I'm surprised he hits as many as he does). He looks like he's out in front of everything. He chokes up so far on his bat too. I haven't seen him stay back and drive a ball yet. I hope this isn't the norm and he starts staying back on the ball

    I watch a lot of baseball and admittedly I have probably seen pence bat a hand full of times, can't say I find myself watching Astros games often, but I saw a picture of him batting the other day and couldn't believe he choked up on the bat so much.

    no, no. of course not. you just get overly excited or ridiculously upset on a game by game basis (by the way saying a team is trending upward is not overly excited--it is factually correct).

    i've been telling you not to worry all year. sooner or later you will listen to the juggler.

    yes, that is the 3rd person. :mrgreen:

    edit-- you did get overly excited about dany's baez in mid april. :o:)

    just so you all know...this is exactly the way Hunter Pence hits. I've followed him since I drafted him as a minor leaguer in a now-defunct NL-only league I was in. He'll pop some, but he is an excitable guy at the plate. He's a good defender and has a cannon for an arm. Definite upgrade for you, but not the veritable coup it was made out to be.
