3 Astros things: Jose Altuve is unstoppable

I don't think any Astros fans questions the greatness of Jose Altuve. Minus a few growing pains, Altuve has hit at every moment he's been up in the big leagues -- as far back as his time wearing the pinstripes and brick red. (Side note the Astros stopped wearing those four years ago...I'm starting to feel old).

The national media appears to come around on how great Altuve is. MLB Network's Mark DeRosa and John Smoltz this week broke down what makes Altuve success at the plate.

"We're gonna empty the bucket on him, cause he's got 558 hits over the last three seasons, the next closest to him is Robinson Cano and Ian Kinsler at 484 [hits].
