Altuve singles, steals 2B
Brantley walks
Two on, nobody out for the middle of the orderā¦
Bregman hits a head high missile to the wall in LFā¦caught. Rat farts
Not sure why Altuve didnāt tag there
Because he wanted to be able to score if the ball went over the LFers head and to the wall.

Tucker flies out F7
Yep, go halfway is the general rule.
Tucker be slumpinā
Yuliā¦down 0-2ā¦1-2ā¦foulā¦foulā¦flies out F8
That inning ended poorly.
What shit luck.
Yordanās absence is a big problem.
I know the go halfway part, but Iām watching from outside at a distanceā¦given the LFs positioning making the catch, doesnāt Altuve score easily if the ball gets over his head and off the wall? And if not heās still on 3B?
Bregman scalded that ball, but right at em.

No. In fact, it may have been a close play at 3B had he tried to tag. You donāt stand on 2B on a line drive to LF.
