Altuve leadoff HR, Astros 1-0

On a fat, middle in fastball. That pitch should be crushed, and Yuli hit it straight up.

Bot 1:

Can't remember if it was a national broadcast or ATTSW, but in week 1or2 an analyst mentioned something about Yuli working on adjusting his swing for (you guessed it) increased launch angle.

Don't know if that has anything to do with anything. But that tiger's stripes spell out 'line drives' and shouldn't be changed.

They're crazy about the AL, but they're not wrong about the team. He's been shockingly good at the plate and in CF this year. 7th in the AL in WAR. No idea what got into him.

I thought it was a play that should have been made. Altuve drifted with a popup over his left shoulder and tried a basket catch, as he often does. He misjudged it and it hit off his glove.

There was no outfielder even close, so he was assuming it was a hit off the bat. I saw it differently, but I've been particularly harsh on the defense lately. Perhaps I'm just grumpy.

Not to mention Altuve called it pretty early on. If he had been going full tilt from the get go, he gets under it. He was drifting the entire time.

Also, the look on Jose's face after it dropped should tell you everything you need to know. HE knew he should've gotten there.
