Yordan Álvarez - Houston Astros at. Minnesota Twins 10/10/23/

[zoeology31]

The MLB season is well underway and I’m back into the seasonal swing of baseballposting! The Twins have invented new and unusual ways of being confusing and frustrating this year, so let’s not talk about that. Instead, here is a complete team of all my favorite non-Twins current players.

C: Salvador Pérez Holds the single season home run record for a catcher, was an integral part of both Royals World Series runs, and balled out in the WBC this year. Probably not a Hall of Famer, but my perception of his ability is certainly skewed by the fact that he wrecks the Twins every year.

1B: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. How is this guy still only 24??? A true generational talent (literally) and he knows it. One of the most fun power hitters to watch in MLB, and his other tools are a lot better than most in that profile. Also mad respect for his eternal hatred of the Yankees, I live vicariously through that.

2B: José Altuve A really stand-up guy and the beloved face of a franchise that’s been through a lot, only some of its own making. A ridiculously consistent .300 hitter, now with some leadoff home run power too, and even has an outside shot at 3,000 hits. I’d love to see him get there, he deserves it.

3B: Eugenio Suárez Good vibes only! I love his energy, I feel like he contributes so much to the Mariners’ great team culture. A true TTO player and has probably one of the lesser known 49-homer seasons, definitely underrated overall. Also, really good hair.

SS: Francisco Lindor My favorite player on Cleveland and I am very glad he’s elsewhere now so I can root for him wholeheartedly. Super well rounded player with a ton of baseball style and personal style. Another guy who balled out in the WBC, his inside-the-park home run was absolutely electric.

LF: Randy Arozarena Big Game Randy! It was crazy watching his run in the 2020 playoffs, and then he went and became a Mexican folk hero. The man is pure concentrated highlight reel, from stealing home in the 2021 ALDS to the crazy catches in the WBC, and with plenty of swagger to boot.

CF: Julio Rodríguez New face of baseball, anyone? He’s really got it all: talent, charisma, looks, athleticism, youthful energy, ambition, team loyalty, branding. Plus showing out at the Home Run Derby, challenging Mike Trout’s rookie records, and breaking the playoff drought. Yeah, he’s got a bright future with those Mariners.

RF: Juan Soto A ridiculously min-maxed combo of power and plate discipline that makes his numbers seem unreal. Super fun to watch at the plate with the swag and the patented shuffle. Plus he's got the Narratives of being forged on a World Series winner and traded to a superteam in his prime.

DH: Yordan Álvarez Just ridiculously good. Hits for unbelievable power and solid average, and already has a laundry list of all-time iconic moments. A historic walkoff and a World Series winning home run in the same postseason, and that's not even the year he won ALCS MVP.

SP: Max Scherzer A consistently great pitcher who finally stopped being underrated as a centerpiece of a great Nationals team with a storybook World Series run. Classic super intense SP but in a fun way and not an asshole way. Also a players' union leader for years, we love a workers’ rights king.

SP: Shohei Ohtani Top 20 hitter. Top 10 pitcher. No comparison. He’s also a superstar in Japan to a magnitude baseball hasn’t seen in the US in decades, and lives up to the hype with charisma, leadership, and the clutch gene. Also him closing out the WBC by striking out Mike Trout was so freaking badass.

SP: Framber Valdez A model of consistency for pitching, with a distinctive skillset and also fashion sense. The most square shaped man in baseball. He’s gone from an inspirational backstory to a true Cy Young caliber pitcher and an absolute stopper in the playoffs, also proof that Therapy Works.

SP: Sandy Alcántara A throwback to the days when they let pitchers throw until their arms fell off, except his doesn’t, and he’s still elite. There’s something so satisfying about complete games, and he’s the guy for ‘em. Also a great leader for Miami’s young rising pitching staff.

SP: Luis Castillo An underrated guy who’s very good at what he does and a giant slayer against tough lineups. The perfect ace for one of baseball’s best pitching staffs, with his immediate commitment to the team and the Mariners’ culture. Also his strikeout fist pump is super cute.

RP: Edwin Díaz Just absolutely dominant last year, completing his redemption arc under the NYC spotlights. His entrance song and the hype around it has done wonders for growing the game and kickstarting an incredibly fun trend. Super passionate and upbeat guy too, wishing him the best in his recovery.

RP: Andrés Muñoz Oh look, another Mariner! I love guys who throw heat and are effective with it. Super young guy with a ton of potential, would love to see him and Duran battling it out for reliever of the year for years to come.

RP: Emmanuel Clase I can somewhat respect the game of a division rival, and Clase is as good as it gets. Any AL Central team that goes into the 9th trailing knows the game is already over. He’s Mariano Rivera-esque with that dominant cutter, and his save in the All-Star Game was absolutely electric.

RP: Devin Williams If you throw the best pitch of its kind in baseball and have a cool name for it, you’re automatically so badass. He’s pretty underrated being on the same team as Josh Hader for 2.5 years, but as the primary closer and with a handful of accolades already, I expect that to change.

∀ Video: Astros' Yordan Álvarez Hits for 1st Career Cycle vs. Mariners http://blog.collectingall.com/T9tvsz

[diarioelpepazo]

Contra los Astros de Houston Se fue de 5-2 con par de carreras impulsadas, dos anotadas y un ponche, subiendo su AVG a .226 y su OPS a .731. Además, colocó su nombre en la segunda casilla de los mejores remolcadores de la Liga Americana, con 12 en el año, solo por detrás de Adolis García (13) e igualado con Yordan Álvarez y Juan Soto (12). García, estelar infielder de los Reales de Kansas City desarrolla una extraordinaria campaña en el beisbol de la Gran Carpa. Francisco Álvarez se fue de 5-2, doblete, remolcó dos y anotó otras dos. M. Gil/A. Marín Los Reales de Kansas City están inmersos en el dulzor de la buena racha en el beisbol de las Grandes Ligas. Poseen una seguidilla de siete compromisos ganados, barriendo a Medias Blancas de Chicago en cuatro cotejos y a los Astros de Houston en otros tres. Una de las piezas más importantes del conjunto que hace vida en la Liga Americana es Maikel García, el antesalista venezolano que apenas está jugando su tercera contienda en Las Mayores y la primera desde el Opening Day. Su titularidad se la ganó a pulso en el Spring Traning, además, previamente venía de ser campeón con Tiburones de La Guaira en la Liga Venezolana de Beisbol Profesional (LVBP). No es una casualidad que "El Barrendero" destaque con el madero, lo ha hecho en el circuito nacional, pero ahora ha trasladado todo ese poderío y contacto hasta las Ligas Mayores. Maikel José tuvo una gran jornada en la tarde del jueves, 11 de abril, contra los Astros de Houston. Se fue de 5-2 con par de carreras impulsadas, dos anotadas y un ponche, subiendo su AVG a .226 y su OPS a .731. Además, colocó su nombre en la segunda casilla de los mejores remolcadores de la Liga Americana, con 12 en el año, solo por detrás de Adolis García (13) e igualado con Yordan Álvarez y Juan Soto (12). No solo colabora ofensivamente en la franquicia de los Royals, pues su principal carta de presentación siempre ha sido la impecable defensa que ofrece. Maikel García comenzó su camino como campocorto, pero la necesidad del equipo en la tercera base lo convirtió en antesalista. ¡Y vaya que ha rendido allí! Francisco Álvarez productivo [caption id="attachment_108505" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Francisco Álvarez. Foto Cortesía[/caption] El receptor venezolano Francisco Álvarez tuvo una muy aceptable tarde con el madero y colaboró en la victoria de su equipo, los Mets de Nueva York��ante sus rivales de división, los Bravos de Atlanta en Truist Park de Atlanta. Álvarez, logró conectar par de imparables en cinco oportunidades en el plato, entre ellos un doble para llegar a cuatro en la naciente temporada. Además, remolcó dos carreras y anotó un par más bateando como séptimo en el orden del mánager Carlos Mendoza.  Con este par de inatrapables, Álvarez llegó a 11 en la presente temporada en 37 turnos, con un cuadrangular y seis carreras remolcadas, otras seis anotadas para dejar su promedio en .297, y un SLG de .416 para un OPS de .819. El criollo de 22 años de edad se encuentra en su tercera campaña de su joven carrera, en las que ya colecciona 93 imparables, 27 de ellos estacazos de vuelta entera, todos con el uniforme de los Mets de Nueva York, para un promedio vitalicio de 216.
