I said the same thing to the room...if it was late innings, or xtras, and your OF is smart enough, you absolutely let it drop
That 2nd called strike against Altuve was the AB right there. He let it go with a 3-1 count knowing it wasn't the pitch he wanted. Great AB by Altuve
It was so close to being fair, I don’t think he could risk it. He was on a dead sprint so would have been really tough for him to try to judge it and focus on making the catch at the same time.
