As much as Altuve was pull-happy before, it’s even worse now. When he has a stretch of hitting home runs, he becomes very pull-happy. And, it ends up hurting him and the team.

Now, let's hope Dusty gives us a shot at a sweep. He has to know that winning the season series from these guys could be important in the post-season. We are playing really good baseball. I give credit to Dusty for that. I hope Bregs sits out till he is 100%. Someone mentioned his injury is similar to George's. I hope it doesn't take that long, George hasn't shown up this season.

I refuse to give Dusty credit for anything we have accomplished. I think we'd be leading the division without some of his bonehead moves.

If the Sox lose tonight, I’m expecting Altuve, Correa, Yuli, and Yordan to have the day off tomorrow. Sweeps are Fascist I thought that was strikeouts, Crash.

As much as Altuve was pull-happy before, it’s even worse now. So it took you 1 whole game to get back to complaining about Altuve.

I was pleasantly surprised that the Fox announcers didn't even mention 2017 or the cheating.

As much as Altuve was pull-happy before, it’s even worse now. Yeah but he should be 2-4 despite it. And it got changed now. 2-4 with two runs scored for Hammerin' Jose.

"Hammerin Jose" will get himself in trouble again if he starts that crap of trying to pull everything. It is hard to understand that as long as he's played he can't figure that out for himself..

I just like to see them given legitimate hits. Jose would have been out easy if a good throw was made. He got on base due to a throwing error. Giving him or anyone else a hit on a play like that makes their numbers look better than they actually are.

I mean if he’s pulling doubles or bombs to left, it’s fine, but there are a lot of spaces to center and right. He can’t keep feeding the ball to the 3rd baseman.

They didn't score his first AB as a single Not originally but they did change it later on to reflect a single for Altuve.

That is a good way for the scorer to help Jose with his BA. I hope he doesn't start a stretch of playing pepper with the SS and 3B.

The 3B knew he had to try and be as fast as possible and he threw it away. It was an infield single and an error just like with Framber the next inning.

Yeah but the guy had time for a better throw to get him. I’m happy he got a hit, but it should’ve stayed an error.

The bottom line is that he didn't think he had the time due to Altuve's speed.

Why would a league scorekeeper need to give Altuve a gift? 🙄

C'mon man, speed kills, the dude fielded the ball while bailing out in foul territory behind third base and trying to throw across his body. He is no Brooks Robinson, and Maldy wasn't running.

By the time the throw made it to first, Altuve was still only like 65 feet down the line. The awkwardness of the fielding led to a 2-base error, in my opinion.

That is just it, the dude had no chance of nailing Jose even with a good throw. Not only that the throw was off first base by twenty five feet.

If any other player had gotten on due to the same thing, you would have said it was because of an error. LOL lol It isn't a problem that he got it, but, it sure makes the official scorer look like a homer. LOL
