Altuve the only one out of the first 8 (eta: first 9) to not reach base. Confident he eventually wakes up, but it looks like something is just off.
Altuve is just a happy go lucky guy and a kid at heart- him not being able to be around his teammates and doing his usual routine and being in a happy place mentally is what Im chalking up for his struggle.
No offense to Cortes...but I'm not sure how he is pitching in the big leagues currently? 42 earned runs in 66.2 innings pitched last season for NYY with a 7+ ERA. Now, he's given up around double the runs of innings pitched this season so far. I feel for the guy but should not be at the show currently. He needs work in the minors.
