    Jake Marisnick and Jake Meyers have the similar batting stance and the way they hold the bat. Similar body types, this Jake Meyers I think is special, he needs to start at Centerfield.

    Jake Meyers runs similarly like a young Carlos Beltran, very smooth.

    Dusty actually gave him a fist bump.

    But IIRC, he gave Straw a piggy back ride around the dugout after his first HR of the season…

    The rest of the AL West is like ... Give me ****ing break. Who the **** is Jake Meyers? Is he a Top 100 Minor League prospect? Or even a Top 30 Astros minor league prospect?

    Seriously, the Angels should be speed dialing Jeff Luhnow and asking for some of his secret sauce.

    I love it when a prospect comes in out of the blue and forces his way onto the Major League Roster. He's a Blue Collar Hero.

    ps I'm third generation white collar, but we all respected the blue collar ethos and admired and respected them.

    Jake Meyers raked twice, you know the angels suck when you let a guy who's never homered before embarrass you like that. Astros are a team of destiny.

    James Click is the man. I was 100% wrong with the trade to ship Straw out, but seeing Jacob rising it is 100% the right deal. This series is a must-win. A's looks amped up when Ramon got 80.

    Plenty of days off available while playing Kansas City. Keep the pressure on the division rivals.

    Right, because games against mediocre or worse teams have have been gravy for the Stros :)
