Altuve defeats Molina

If you are on Twitter, then yesterday was mildly intolerable as Jose Altuve took on Yadier Molina in the first round of the Face of MLB voting. What is the Face of MLB? It's where MLB and the MLB Network are letting fans vote through hashtags and Twitter in head-to-head matchups.

Well, in a display of how badly Astros fans want to win something/anything, Altuve defeated Molina 55-45. He'll face the winner of Adam Jones/Buster Posey on Valentine's Day. And if you are on Twitter, figure out how to work the Mute button.

#FaceofMLB #YadierMolina he deserves it not a midget

I'm sorry, but it's impossible to "win the winter" if your org is losing to the Astros in a fan vote. #BFIBdown
