For those hoping that yesterday’s 13-run outburst would carry over into today’s rubber match between the Astros and Red Sox, well, you were probably disappointed. Today was just one of those games where the vibe wasn’t great outside of the leadoff dinger from our favorite second baseman. Honestly, I felt like mhatter summed up today’s game nicely in TCB’s group chat.
“Altuve hit a leadoff home run. Then there were 27 plate appearances of nothing with a Brantley double mixed in, and the Astros got on their airplane. The end.”
I honestly could have stopped there and went about my evening just fine.
