Predicted struggles and triumphs for the coming Astros season.
Welcome to Opening Day, one of the best days in sports. The defending world champion Houston Astros begin the defense of their title at home against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday with a first pitch from Megan Thee Stallion and a"Play ball" call from Mark Wahlberg. It will be quite the first day of the season.
But, like all baseball seasons, it's a marathon. Game 1 is a long way from game 162, never mind the playoffs and another potential World Series. The Astros had the shortest of off-seasons that was packed with big changes including a new general manager, the loss of an ace, and the injury of one of their most recognizable stars. It's already an intriguing year and Framber Valdez hasn't thrown out the first pitch.
There are few players more intimidating at the plate than Alvarez and that legend only grew with the two monster home runs he hit to propel the Astros in the postseason including the moonshot onto the batter's eye in game six of the World Series. Though he has had a sore hand throughout Spring Training, he switched to an ax-handle style bat and has come out just absolutely bombing away. If he can remain healthy, the sky is the limit for him.
