The best part about this comeback was that a whole lot of it was done by young guys...September call-ups and rookies. Tucker, Yordan, Straw, Urquidy, Sneed...

Y'all are hilarious acting like you think Altuve can bunt well. At times, he has been a good bunter......the situation called for a sac bunt. We needed ONE run to win.......Brantley and Bregmn were coming up. Good baseball is never "extinct". The correct move was to bunt Marisnick to second base. Instead, Altuve struck out and left Jake t first base. Brantley then walked it off wiht a home run. Jose got a clutch triple to drive imn 2 key runs earlier..... but, he messed up by not bunting in this situation. Good basebll is never "extinct" even if it is ignored. |

The dynbass had a two-run triple ti bring us back.........Tbe same dumbass FAILED to bunt the runner tio second when he should have. But,some people think good, fundamental baseball is "extinct"  |

I've noticed a lot more typos on my behalf too. And I usually notice them after the grace period to change. In my case, I think my eyesight has gotten worse, and I am not noticing them as I type. |

Have the three time AL Batting Champ, bunt, good Baseball. Then what about the alternative if he failed to move the runner? Do I really have to type my answer of what he would have been called for trying the attempt or the failure. Go figure!!!!

I don't give a damn how many batting titles a guy has won, if a bunt is needed, you bunt. Earlier this season I saw this three batting chanpion bunt with two outs in the 9th when we needed a hit to drive in the tying run from second base. You have to know when to bunt.....that was not the time. Anyone who knows fundamental baseball knows Altve should have attempted to bunt Marisnick to second base. Brantley covered his screw up by hitting the home run.

I won't say fundamental baseball is extinct, but there are some big differences now because of the improvement with analytics. There are so many numbers and reports on all these pitchers and situations and shifts, etc. that the hitters are being told to do things that, in the past, they wouldn't have done. But they're playing the percentages that give them the best chance at winning.
It's not all on the individual players and their own personal choices either.

A bunt in that situation was the right thing to do to try to win tbe game and it doesn't matter who the batter happens to be. |

A bunt in that situation was the right thing to do to try to win tbe game and it doesn't matter who the batter happens to be. Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't. We don't know if that pitcher has certain spin rates or pitches that aren't good for getting the ball on the ground, or what all teh various chances of successes there were for different bunts in different locations. I'm not disagreeing, I just know that the hitters are being given a ton of different data to try and make them successful, and it may not always be things that we would expect them to do. And, in the end, Altuve hasn't recently had much success with bunting, but he had hit the ball hard in three of his previous four at-bats. Maybe he and Hinch felt more confident with him swinging away. Altuve this year, has just as much of a chance of hitting a HR in that situation than basically everybody on our team. |

Man all this past week MLB teams pens have been blowing big leads. That is what usually happens during the last month of the season, with teams that have nothing to play for and the pens come up big. That was the wrap on Giles when he came from the Phillies, great ERA and looked unbeatable for a last place team. |

Lowest pen ERA the last 14 days belongs to ... the Orioles? Because the other team is far ahead they pull their starting hitters by the 3rd inning? With relief pitching all through the league, no lead can be safe. As a whole Houston is not the only team having issues in the pen. |

Maybe he and Hinch felt more confident with him swinging away. Altuve this year, has just as much of a chance of hitting a HR in that situation than basically everybody on our team. If you look at last season and also this past season, Jose in ninth inning situations, most likely on his own call has tried to put down a bunt in the ninth inning with the scored tied or down one. He was nailed on his call on the board. Face it MLB is not being played in the 60's or earlier era, where a bunt was practically a given call for the situation at hand. |

He should not be allowed to make that call on his own in the 9th. It was the wrong move and he deserved to be nailed for it.
