I think they hit rock-bottom, it looked like they hit rock-bottom. I thought I was watching Little League baseball in the fifth inning of that game, when Tyler White completely lost focus of a runner on third base, while he was trying to get an out at second, allowing another run to score.
The usually reserved A.J. Hinch must have thought the same thing as immediately made a disgusted short walk down the steps of the dugout after seeing another poor defensive play by the Houston Astros infield. After losing the first two games of the series, the Astros put together a complete game, behind decent pitching from Collin McHugh and the bullpen, timely hitting specifically with two outs, and yet another superb offensive performance from Jose Altuve.
