Spring Is Being Kind to the White Bear (As We All Should Be!)

A breath of fresh air came into my morning routine when I awoke to see the following stats on Evan Gattis for the 2015 Houston Astros Spring Training to date:



Games Played: 3
Plate Appearances: 10
At-Bats: 8
Hits: 3
Doubles: 1
RBI's: 2
Walks: *2 (For those that criticized how he never takes walks!)
Strikeouts: 1 (For those that criticized his lack of contact hitting. He is proving you doubters wrong by this!)

Batting Average: .375*
On-Base Percentage: .500* (For those that have criticized his supposed "poor base skills." He now has 4 total bases to his name in ST as well.)
Slugging Percentage: .500* (As if there was any doubt!)
OPS: 1.000*


 
What's that I hear from the critics? Wow, it sounds like crickets chirping. Could that be maybe because there is practically nothing else you can overly criticize Evan about? Hold on a second....

Will Ferrell is basically Evan Gattis in left field.

Blast! Thought I could keep the critics at bay a little bit longer. Sorry Evan, looks like I failed you. I'm ashamed. Sad face.

 

You know what? SCREW THE SAD FACES! I shall be sad no more! I'm sure Evan can take a joke. And I, for one, enjoyed the Will Ferrell escapade yesterday. But it doesn't mean jokes should keep being flung at Evan. Whatever, I'm gonna end this post on a happy note by God, with some more pics of Evan playing his A game (like there is anything less from him) throughout Spring Training.

 

That's right, Evan! Flip your bat and roar in excitement at your awesomeness!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, a smile on picture day always helps as well!

See people, he's got his bear claw (Glove) out and ready to scoop up that ball! He's gonna get there in left field, just give him a chance and some time. Let him get comfortable at his own pace. Like always, Evan will end up surprising everyone!
