Where do you get this nonsense that he’s a fervent defender of Altuve? He criticizes him all the time. He just doesn’t think it’s his fault when a pitcher uses his own arm to throw a bad pitch that’s hit out of the park for a home run. If pitchers think it’s in bad form to berate their fielders for bad plays, then why do you think it’s acceptable to place blame on them for the result of bad pitching? The job of the pitcher is to pick the fielders up. A fielder can help out with tags and FC’s, but no one can stop a run from scoring when the ball is over the fence. Nobody claimed it was Altuve's fault because the pitcher gave up a home run that scored three runs. What WAS his fault was the throwing error that kept the inning alive for the hitter would have the chance to hit the home run. The home run was ONE runs.....Altuve's throw cost us TWO. The FACT is that only ONE run would have scored if not for the error. A good throw meant the third out to end the inning. The batter who hit the homer would have lead off the next inning so if he hit the home run it scored one run. As a result of the error, the home run produced three. McCullers allowed the home run.....that is his fault. Altuve made the throwing error......that was his fault even though some blamed Yuli for not scooping the throw. McCullers cost us one run while Altuve was responsible for two. You can spin it any way you choose, but, two of the three runs were the fault of Altuve. "Bad pitching" created one run......Bad throwing produced the other two. No one said Altuve was blameless, but you put it all on him when he didn’t give up the home run. |

All I put on him are the two runs he created with his throw that extended the inning to allow the next hitter to come to the plate with two on base instead of us being in the dugout getting ready to hit. Lance gave up one........Jose was responsible for two. |

It also showed the error made by Altuve that allowed the two runners to be on base when Lance allowed the home run. |
