Looking back, Altuve was just sitting FB every pitch and trying to get a hold of one. It ended up working out just swinging at almost every pitch.
Apparently 66 pitches was literally his limit after coming back from the DL. Leadoff walks to the 9-hitter rarely are beneficial.
Ditto. It actually makes sense to just swing at all FBs like he did. He knew he would square one up and turn the game for us eventually.
Yea he looked like he lost a tick off the FB. Instead of 98+ he was 96+. You throw enough fastballs to these guys, one of them is gonna catch up to it sometime.
