Yuli Gurriel

No score as we start the bottom of the second inning.

Yuli Gurriel will stand in against CeCe Sabathia.

Worked around George Springer's leadoff hit in the first.

And Yuli lines this one to right.

nothing out to base fifth home run of the postseason all five homers to electrify this crowd who have chanted MVP every time he's come to the plate and he delivers again.

Carlos Correa, the runner at third.

Runner at first, Yuli Gurriel, after the hit and run single.

And McCann drills this down the right field line.

Martin Maldonado, thumbs up.

Yuli Gurriel, thumbs up.

Jose Altuve, thumbs up.

Jeremy Pena, thumbs up.

But this year is different because they have those guys that can close out games, plus they are much deeper in starting pitching than they were in 2018.

You had Yuli Gurriel, Wade Miley, and question marks all over the place.

And even Miley was kind of a question mark, to be honest.

But, uh, this Brewers team is a freight train right now.

Left field.

Arriba! Gurriel, we're tied.

Houston Astros history.

Well, this'll go down as a very, very big game in the Astros history.

2-1.

Springer lines this one into left field for a base hit.

Gurriel scores as the ball skips all the way to the wall.

Big turn by Springer, but he'll hold at first base.

...

Mookie Betts, José Altuve, Cody Bellinger, Corey Seager, Dansby Swanson, Yuli Gurriel, and Randy Arozarena.

I love how rattled you were after that Devon situation.

Yeah, it literally, it turned, it changed everything.

17 would work, too.

There are four names left on this list.

In the 2020s, Dansby Swanson, Yuli Gurriel, Quique Hernandez, Mookie Betts.

[sighs] Mookie Betts.

Believe it or not, because of the expanded postseason, Albert Pulas has the most career posting hits by a first baseman.

Second is that cheating astro, Yuli Gurriel.

Hey! He's most famous for making a racist gesture in the World Series and not getting suspended until the following year.

Good job, Rob Manford.

Of all those teams, the one in 2019 that lost to the Washington Nationals in the playoff, or in the t- World Series, that was the, uh, that was the best team, and it wasn't even close how good that team was.

You had a, you had a guy, uh, Yuli Gurriel, your, you had guys that batting seventh in the lineup that were guys that were contending for batting titles, and Michael Brantley.

Again, s- so my point being is anything can happen in a short series.

And I, I know that sounds so cliche, but it's true.

Um, you know, i- and it's balanced out.

Sure, like, Gurriel has been on fire all year and has been fantastic.

But if you put in a lefty, that helps.

You know, Murakami started to pick it up again towards the end after some struggles, but he gets, he struggles against lefties.

Like, there's a lot of a balancing act.

It's a very good lineup, a very complete lineup.

I s- 'Cause the problem is like, yeah, Gurriel and some other guys, but then, like, Montgomery can't hit lefties.

They started to do kind of m- more platooning late.

So Jordan Alvarez finished with a 316 batting average.

Yuli Gurriel in 2021 was the last Astro to win the batting title for the American League.

So he had a 319 batting average back in 2021.

So I think that this is not this is.

Just tackle the ball, keep it in front of you.

Yuli Gurriel had hurt his knee in a rundown right before that.

I hadn't played first base in a month.

I was struggling immensely offensively.

Yeah, and right when he hit it, I'm like, tackle it.

Just tackle the ball, keep it in front of you.

Yuli Gurriel had hurt his knee in a rundown right before that.

I hadn't played first base in a month.
