Altuve last two at bats, 2 pitches 2 outs. I wish in those situations he would temper himself and get something he can move the runner over with instead of hacking
On the never popular glass half full view, I sure like how our young pitchers, when they get blowin up for 3 or 4 runs in the second (it's always the second) seem to always tough it out and put up four zeroes afterward. Of course we always leave them in for the seventh and that doesn't always work out.
Yeah... the guy slashing this on the first pitch shouldn't swing at the first pitch... .382/.405/.816/1.221 (79 times- includes 3 HBPs)
I never said he shouldn’t swing on first pitches I just wish he had some restraint in situations like that. I’m well aware of his first pitch success but Quantrill is aware also and is nibbling that slider and he’s biting. There probably is no right answer I’d just prefer he get the runner over there
