Altuve second in league to Trout in bWAR
well, I could've gone to the SABR convention in Houston this week after all (if I liked steam heat), but I'm sure there'll be a few interesting questions asked of Astro execs on the panels.

Seems like he was pissed the gm cares more about the minors than the big club

@Buster_ESPNHOU leads AL West by 7 games. Last team in any division with a lead that big on May 3 was the 116-win '01 Mariners, who had a 9-game lead.

So much for the synergistic chemistry lab.
George Springer and the Houston Astros grabbed a win against the Oakland A's on Tuesday night, but instead of hitting the town to celebrate, the players decided to bring the party to their clubhouse.Springer explained after the game that the players have created "Club Astros" for their postgame celebrations, complete with a fog machine, disco ball and laser light show.When reporters pointed out to the 25-year-old outfielder that the club was reminiscent of the disco days of the 1970's, Springer hilariously responded, "Well, it's 2015 and we are killing it, so we might as well have some fun."

I'm a little slow--just cluing into Correa the past couple of days (James mentioned him yesterday in a post on "The Best Young Player in Baseball"--which is not about Correa, but rather a system for identifying who it is at any given time).
