Altuve has put three balls in play for a combined distance of about 100 ft

Altuve pops an eyebrow high FB F5

Sigh.

There’s got to be something wrong with him physically.

Altuve Is panicking.

Yeah, he’s never faced this prolonged of a slump before, and he’s trying to erase it on one swing.

His bat has COVID.

Maybe he can inject it with some bleach.

It’s got a hole in it

That’s gotta hurt

Taylor pitching for the Astros

Blackmon bunts foul, takes a FB low/away, whiffs on high cheese, takes a low slider 2-2, lines a ball off Taylor’s leg, Yuli fields it but no play. Single, they’re checking Taylor out.

I thought that was fair when it left the bat. whew.

Big out there with Arenado
