The Astros first walk-off homer this season was from Yordan Alvarez. (Who else but him) What a moment and what a come from behind win. The slow mo on the bat toss. The crowd reaction. The fireworks. Excellent filming by the Houston Astros

If top prospect Cam Smith keeps hitting like this, he's making the opening day roster. And he's probably starting. He needs about 30-40 more at-bats this spring before we can know for sure. But I haven't seen a hitting prospect this special since Yordan

Every time Willy Taveras was on the base paths, he was going to do something special. I love in game 4 of the 2005 NLCS where he tested Jim Edmonds and was safe by a mile. Willy T Gullo Ford forever.

Back in 2022, Julio Rodriquez hit a home run off Hector Neris and celebrated all around the bases. That might have left a bad taste in Neris's mouth. Tonight, Neris told JRod to sit down. Here are both videos.

Jose Altuve left the game after grounding into a double play, he didn’t even head to first. He was holding his side and looked in pain. Altuve headed to the clubhouse with Espada and a trainer.

Here is Framber Valdez's full standup with the media after the game. He said he didn't throw intentionally at Salazar. He said they got crossed up. He also said that for the grand slam and pitch that hit Salazar, Cesar called curveball for both but he wanted sinker

Yordan Alvarez left the game. Here’s the whole sequence. Espada was talking to him before his AB and it looked like Yordan wanted to hit. After he swung on a foul ball, he stepped back and Espada took him out of the game. Not sure what’s up. Yordan has played in every game
