The legend continues to grow.
Oh, to, are you kidding me?
Tube?
See you later.
He carries a big stick, six home
runs for altuve in his last six
games.
It was just a week ago, he was
sitting at nine home runs and
now has 16 major news coming out
of Houston for a little big man.
That's right, John Hayman
Tweeting out to get $125 million
on a five year extension.
This is going to start in 2025
and there's the details of it as
a to was finishing a seven year
, $163 million contract.
So 1 25/5, the way structure, 30
30 30 25 and the five year 2029
10 million, I believe that'll be
through his age, 39 seasons.
So it's great news.
Certainly for Houston and Mike
when you think of a guy who's
just been a tremendous hitter,
834 career ops, a lifetime 307
hitter.
And he's always been great in
the postseason.
Well, that's, that's what I
think shines.
You know, everyone likes to talk
about his physical stature.
Well, he's as big as anyone,
especially when it comes in the
postseason.
It's, it's not only big hits,
it's big home runs, you know,
he's, he's really, I don't know
if the proper term is as he
stepped up in the limelight, but
he's made the limelight his, you
know, and I think the Astros
have done a great job.
Great guy.
Great for the team, the
clubhouse, the city, why not?
You know, we mentioned Clayton
Kershaw shouldn't have a
different uniform.
I would feel really weird
watching Jose Altuve put on a
different, yeah, Bravo.
You know what's interesting
about jose is that if you look
at his financial contract
history, it's very strange.
He was one of those young
players that was signed to a
real long contract and it was a
very, uh to the team contract
and Then after that, they kind
of ripped that up, gave him that
$163 million deal.
Now ending his career as an
Astro, well done by the Astros
and Jose Altuve again that
playoff resume.
Rory 27 home runs, second most
all time in the playoffs.
This isn't a guy I think of home
runs, but in the playoffs, he's
always done that.
He's changed as a hitter though
when he first came up.
You would think of him as a guy
who could lead the league in
hitting each and every year.
But he started to look in mike
and he started to look in and to
pull.
And I think the ballpark, once
they moved in there, he
recognized those crawford boxes
are right there in his backyard.
So he kind of changed the way
he's a hitter, different.
Great, but more explosive now.
Absolutely.
I think early in his career it
was a lot of let the ball get
deep.
I can, his hand, eye
coordination, I can knife the
ball to right field.
A lot of hits.
That's my job as a table setter.
Then guys, I think start
pounding him in and he could
handle that pitch.
So it's, you know, the, the
understanding of the adjustments
they're trying to make to you.
And he's shown that he could
punish some people if they try
to come inside and it feels like
a team friendly deal.
And everyone in Houston is
saying, what about Sonny Yordan
Alvarez?
Because that could be a place to
get ready for that.
It's nice when team friendly is
30 mil a year.
I like it.
Kyle Tucker is the other one.
Of course, he could have a
massive contract or don six
years 115, but it could be
interesting.
Congrats once again to jose too
to get it done.
By the way, the combination of
those two contracts, the 163 in
this 12, 88.5 0.2 less than
Bobby Witt.
So guys right now are doing
pretty well overall when it
comes to that, that game
