Controversial Walk-Off Win for the Astros Today

1-1, bottom of the 9th.. Altuve on first, Correa hits one in the right field gap, Altuve scores, game over.. but did Correa interfere with the throw home from 2nd base?

I think not.. he did a pop-up slide, and he may have aided in causing the throw to be a little wide of home plate.. so the Yankees Manager Girardi argued.. I think the slide was incidental, and besides, the throw was accurate, it just short-hopped the catcher, who failed to handle it.

but.. why the Hell was Correa running to 2nd base? his run didn't mean Jack.. and if he's thrown out at second, Altuve doesn't score. I Haven't heard anyone ask that question.

Didn't see it but Altuve is on fire. Hope the Astros make it. So far so good.

He ran to second to be in a position to make the throw harder to make. Simple.

Reddick was the 1st out.
Who was the 2nd out?
Why is this even in the DALLAS forum in the first place? Shouldn't this be moved to the forum of the burg that the POS Astros represent? Sheesh.....
