    Btw, wanted to point out before the 3rd swing but happened too quickly--Gomez's last at-bat felt like Pedro Cerrano in that key moment. Swing badly at 2 breaking balls and look very off-balance. We just needed some Jobu mutterings.. and then a majestic HR. Unfortunately, he fell a few feet short

    YES. Solid contact up the middle and opposite field. You're playing into his game if you try to jump on everything and pull.

    Of course, Altuve is immune to all baseball wisdom.

    Looks like it grazed him, you can see a slight change of direction. We got lucky.

    Did you get a better replay in Houston than I have? It was totally inconclusive on the LA broadcast, they only had the view where you couldn't see the front of his knee/leg.
