As of today Yordan Alvarez leads the AL in runs, hits, HR, batting average, RBI, on base %, slugging, OPS (on base + slugging), total bases, and intentional walks. He leads a few other "stat nerd" categories as well. He's kinda good.

Wish this could occur for softball and baseball as well. However, overnight hotel stays with best of 3 series, the need to find turfed fields with May rains being such a strong possibility, and factors I'm not thinking of at the moment make it practically impossible.

Shhhh, again. Astros played a game tonight, enough said???

The Astros need to win 60% of their remaining games to finish with 84 wins. That might give them a shot at a playoff spot. They will have about 50 games left at the trade deadline. If they are sitting with a win % around where they presently stand we could see a few guys moved. Wait, see, hope, complain, etc.

Hardin taking flights on road trips! Now that's impressive.

Are these guys being hired as full-time faculty? I know UIL changes things, but I think the rule is if you are retired with 20 years of experience or more you can be an assistant coach and not a full-time employee. Would only need to pay a coaching stipend in those instances. Not sure if that is still allowed. Andy Evans father did it for several years at EC for football as did my old man for a baseball squad.

Did you mean coming back for the team or members on this website for our entertainment?

Interesting analysis in the studio show after the game. Described as not a huge win, but after giving up the lead the Stros avoided a big loss. Nice to see Pena's "cramp" yesterday was likely really a cramp. Never trust a MLB team discussing player Health.

My favorite 4 month span of the year is over. Congratulations to the Sooners as former Lamar pitcher Jackson Cleveland closes it out. See you all in the Lamar baseball forum next season. Hit em where they ain't.

Is it definitely Alvin HS or Alvin ISD?

Last night's exchange between the Branch brothers was truly a blessing to witness. Just saw online that the umpiring crew located their parents and gave them the lineup card from the game. Their mom looks like she was still crying and it was likely quite a few minutes after the game when the umpires had the opportunity to give it to them. Family and sports!! What a great experience for them and glad we all got to watch.

This Alvarez guy, is he human?

I was always taught that Austin is part of California, so either I'm wrong or this Bishop fellow is wrong.

The Super Regionals are on the air!

True statement, but also hope he is successful enough that it becomes a concern.
