    That might be my favorite run of the season. You just don't see guys do that, but Altuve's got huge balls for a 5'5" guy.

    Is that the first time we have stolen home since Villar did it in 2013?

    Watch the replay, Altuve was blowing a bubble as he started for home.

    I believe Cesar Cedeno and Adam Everett each had seasons where they stole home twice. No Astro has done it 3 times in a season.

    Man I just feel so comfortable and at ease when Devo is on the mound in close games. Haven't felt this way since pre-Pujols Lidge.

    they only credited Altuve with one stolen base, the play at home was a fielder's choice apparently

    Per radio, Astros batters have been hit more than any other team. 45 hit by pitch.

    Pressly has plunked Altuve and Yuli this year. This guy makes me nervous.

    Good base running from Altuve...

    Feels like he always gets thrown out on both of those types of plays.

    thanks for clarifying. though that stretches the meaning of 'fielder's choice' in my opinion.

    LOL, I never thought about it.

    Nobody ever refers to Marwin as Gonzalez.
