It's only been two days, but Jose Altuve looks very good in left field.
He's received some applause from member of #Astros coaching staff after a couple of catches.
Here's video from today, via @KHOUSergioSoto.

HORROR: Webcam at the Kennedy Center catches explosion mid-air across the Potomac as D.C. helicopter and an inbound flight from Wichita, KS collide. Unknown number of people on board both aircraft.
Scott Van Pelt: “I don’t care who it is. That’s targeting 100 times out of 100. It wasn’t [called] in this case.”
Dusty Dvoracek: “I thought it was targeting in the moment. I picked up the phone, made a few phone calls. I talked to Bill Lemonnier, who I think is one of the absolute best, works for us at ESPN/ABC as a rules expert, and he said verbatim: ‘It’s a defenseless player, there was an upwards thrust indicator, forceable contact to the head or neck area. It’s targeting.’”
Troy Johnston (@2297Troy) was the first pick by the two-time defending champion @TigresdelLicey in the league’s re-entry draft which leads into the playoffs.
Johnston hit .252/.339/.325 in 46 games with @TorosdelEste this season.
