king Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 Jose Altuve has 194 hits (MLB best), 50 steals (AL best), a .340 batting average (MLB best) and 57 multi-hit games (MLB best). JWB 1 Quote
badndn Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 On pace to obliterate Biggios team record for hits in a season. And he's only 24 years old. Quote
TxHoops Posted September 4, 2014 Report Posted September 4, 2014 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. Quote
OldTimer Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 Just hope they can keep him happy $$$$$$ wise. Quote
badndn Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 Just hope they can keep him happy $$$$$$ 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.

Peppermint Patty Posted September 5, 2014 Report Posted September 5, 2014 Just hope they can keep him happy $$$$$$ wise. Maybe they can pay by the foot. B) He's a heck of a player. He needs to be locked down ASAP. Quote
king Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Posted September 16, 2014 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 Quote
coachdaddy Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 3 for 5 last night tonight could be a big night.... Wish I could pick up games on TV. bullcorn. Quote
htownfan Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 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! CraigS 1 Quote
KABrother Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 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... Quote
OldTimer Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 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! 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 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 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. "Chicks dig the longball!" - Greg Maddux Quote
