Be willing to bet no Series has gone 6 games with visiting team winning every game.  Hope the Stros can break this freaking X-Files phenomenon tomorrow.

Key moment.  
Altuve and his anxiousness/lack of patience given the situation.  5th inning reddick on third springer on 2nd. 1 out Pressure is on pitcher now.  Wait on your dang pitch. Swinging on crap outside the zone.  Pitcher had walked 2 batters the inning before.  You got Brantley and bregman coming up if altuve gets walked. There would ve been even more pressure on pitcher then, plus may force a pitching change.
I know altuve plays a certain way and usually produces but in that situation Hinch should ve told him to try and get the walk.

Very good analysis and I totally agree. Watching strikes go down the middle while swinging at stuff that hit the freakin plate. Game started out good and went to sucking pretty quick.

That swing reminded me of some of Bagwell's and Biggio's swings.  Could not lay off breaking balk down and away.
