Apparently enough to deliberatly walk Brantley to get to him. You don't do that with a possible MVP unless you know something..
Yeah you know Bregman is struggling and Brantley is a lefty with a couple big hits today. This is on Bregman slumping at a terrible time and not on some magical thing teams have picked up on.
I know Altuve has been hitting well all game, but with 2 strike count, and a chance to load up the bases with 1 out to put pressure on the pitcher, not sure if it was the right move to not appeal (assuming it is reviewable).
All these stranded runners will come back and bite us. The nats are going to score more runs. We just gave them TONS of momentum.
Terrible job manufacturing runs out of that situation. You have to get at least one more there against a team this good.
I understand it. Tuve is clutch, we've seen what he can do in big moments...unlike another MVP for the Stros, Tuve proves it. I'd rather have him batting to be honest, in that spot.
