    From the moment that ball when over the fielder's head, I knew Altuve was out at the plate.

    We're going to get into their bullpen by the 6th inning at the latest.

    Guthrie is already over 70 pitches.

    why the heck did they send him?

    runners on 2nd and 3rd with Correa up is just fine.

    Royals announcers unimpressed with Pettis, and understandably so.

    Sending Altuve with only 1 out and Correa coming up is just stupid. My goodness man.

    why windmill, why!!! correa is up to bat. I guess the percentages say that a cut off throw will more times than not be off target.

    Players getting thrown out in front of Correa has cost him a number of RBIs.

    "The Astros don't know how good [the Royals] are relaying from the OF."

    The Astros better damn learn.

    Windmill didn't send Correa home there. Surprising

    If it truly is a metric being passed down from the front office to be exploited, the Astros may be single-handedly pushing that stat back in the other direction.

    They've been thrown out at the plate via textbook relays. I guess teams do practice them.

    That was the 7th time this season Altuve has been thrown out at home. That happened only 5 times in the rest of his career.

    Royals starting pitching right now is pretty underwhelming.
