    Reddick being slow and Altuve being impatient cost them. Gotta keep them to 3 and keep the pressure on.

    I hate when Altuve is not patient to find his pitch to bring runner home

    How do you not score on a double where the ball is stuck under the damned fence.....RUN RUN RUN !!

    Reddick was not full speed on that......if he is gassing it, he scores.

    **** man. Altuve chose a great time to have a shitty AB. I hardly ever call for a bunt, but I wanted to see him execute a good safety squeeze right there. Getting this game tied was of paramount importance.

    He kinda stumbled while waiting to see if the ball would go past the infielder

    We absolutely owned Minute Maid park during the regular season. Now it seems so foreign.

    That's the worst moments of the game so far, remember them:

    JV's grooved pitch to Soto and Altuve's ****ing **** AB

    Jose is great but he’s got to have to at some point look for the right pitch vs just slapping the ball and I say that knowing that’s his game but he could be more situational

    Huge missed opportunity. Huge. Especially as shaky as the pitching is. Runners on first and second with one out. How can you not score?

    and if they threw him out at home everyone would say "why did you run with Altuve and Brantley coming up, only 1 out?"

    he can't win. he did his job and got on base.
