Jose Altuve!!!

[king]

Jose Altuve has 194 hits (MLB best), 50 steals (AL best), a .340 batting average (MLB best) and 57 multi-hit games (MLB best).

On pace to obliterate Biggios team record for hits in a season.
And he's only 24 years old.

[TxHoops]

Very impressive. I will say one thing for him and his teammates...they play hard. Future may be brighter than some think for the Stros.

[OldTimer]

Just hope they can keep him happy $$$$$$ wise.

Good point. They signed him to a very very team friendly contract before the season; therefore they have team control for something like five more years, but another season like this one by Jose and I would expect the grumblings to start.

Maybe they can pay by the foot. B)

 

He's a heck of a player. He needs to be locked down ASAP.

Altuve has 206 hits on the season. 210 is team record by Craig biggio. They play Indians next 4 days. Then mariners next 3 after that. Imma keep a close eye might make the game when he gonna break that record

3 for 5 last night tonight could be a big night.... Wish I could pick up games on TV. bullcorn.

He broke the single season hits record tonight with a hit up the middle in the 7th... He has had one heck of a year... The future looks bright for the Stros!

Crazy stat comparison...going into last nights game Altuve had 209 hits, 42 doubles, & 52 steals...the last time a player put up those kinds of number?...1917 by one Tyrus Cobb (225-44-55)...he was a decent player...

Yeah I agree all they need is like another 7 position players and a pitcher or 2 and they are set  :D

 

Altuve is by far the best player on this team - if he played for any team in the race he would be getting a lot of talk for MVP I think.

[badndn]

I dont ever recall Biggio getting talk of MVP when he was stealing 50 bags getting 200+ hits, hitting 20 bombs and driving in 80+. And his teams were good.

Altuve doesnt hit the long ball like Biggio did. So frankly if he played for a contrnder he would play second, third or even fourth fiddle to someone on that team.

A healthy Springer would overshadow Altuves game.
