    I've thought for a while that Altuve REALLY believes hard in his instinctual ability to hit that first pitch. But he's taken it too far, and now I don't think he knows how he wants to approach at-bats. Which is a liability for us. The more quality ABs we have, the better we do. Need to keep eating the opponent's pitches.

    Yordan set up for the curve

    ...but he gets dusted by 99 on the black. Rookie AB.

    Tough pitches. Gotta swing the bat when it’s that close.

    I was looking curve there, maybe Alvarez was too.

    Yordan takes a lot of called third strikes. I think I'd prefer a little more aggression from him and a lot less from Altuve.

    Strike 3 was a strike. A nasty, nasty strike.

    Two pitches that looked outside called for strikes there. The ump has consistently called it for both teams at least, but still.
