Angels at Astros, 8/11/23

Terrible baserunning by Altuve.

Bregman takes his place on second.

He got picked off on a really good inside move. It happens.

Bot 1st - no score

Tuve - 0-2 single to LC
Bregs - 3-0, BB; 'Tuve to 2B
Yordan Yooosh!, Fly out to LF, 1 out
(Double steal attempt - Altuve left too early - out @ 3rd as Bregs takes 2nd), 2 outs
2nd CS on Tuve this year
Kyle - LO to 1st B

Hit, BB, CS, 1 LOB

Top 2nd - no score

Blum’s comments after that blunder are a great reason why I love him.

He matter of factly laid out the reasons why that was really, really bad without saying it explicitly.

If you’re paying attention you get it. If not, you can still be a happy go lucky fan.

What did he say?

Well with Kyle Tucker at the plate you probably want to not be so aggressive there

Etc

(The broadcast’s take was that Altuve left early on a steal attempt)

I don’t have a problem with trying to be aggressive. And I don’t consider myself a casual happy go lucky fan.

Top 2 - no score

Moustakas - GO to Maldy, 1 out
Cron
Moniak

It’s a little early for you to be digging in.

Not digging in. I just didn’t think it a huge blunder. I’m not listening to the broadcast.

Have to score to win anyway.

You knew that was going to happen at some point tonight, so now it’s time to go get it back.
