    We can’t assume everything is exactly the same if Altuve doesn’t get caught. It probably isn’t. Just be glad Bregman got that one.

    Yeah, it's in the past now, games tied with 8 innings left.

    I LOVE IT...but idk call me suspicious. The way he was talking to Correa and everyone it made me think Bregman picked up on a tell in Strasburgs pitches.

    Ehh, universe changes if Altuve doesn't steal. Perhaps Astros don't score at all. I'll take the 2 runs.

    Three hits in the first inning off an elite pitcher in Strasburg. And it's not like Strasburg was struggling with his command. An encouraging sign for the Astros bats.

    But the thing is they not going to pitch it where he likes it he has to hit one the other way if he starts doing that then it’s on

    I was kind of thinking same.

    Bregs may have had extra umph on the swing bc it's a 3 run homer and then strikes out just ahead of the pitch.

    Which would be awesome. But I think that’s exactly what Bregman wants everyone to think. Keep that paranoia up on the other side.

    I hope he did because that means we are going to get a few more runs and run him out of the game.

    It's not cheating or anything if the pitcher is tipping, that's on the pitcher.
