Holy crap. Maybe this is why you don't play a SS in CF.

Mateo has a knack for extended the 9th this year no matter where he is.

Isn't he in RF?

I’m afraid this is a little glimpse of Bautista in the playoffs. 

C'mon now. Bautista has been unhittable for awhile now. He just sucked tonight. It happens to everyone. They had some good at bats and he couldn't locate well and the splitter was not very good.

This reminds of me of the game in September last year when HOU came to town and Bautista had a double blown save 8th and 9th inning.

The Astros are unafraid of him.

Baustista faced a good team.

Yea that ball off the bat from Alvarez should have been caught for sure

McKenna is in the game playing RF,

Mateo isn't used to playing and it's not a surprise he would take a bad angle on a fly ball.

I’m more concerned specifically vs Astros.

Alvarez ALMOST hit one out too...Felix faced the best hitters in the game...but when you leadoff with a walk its sets the table...and when you spike the splitter the hitters know that they can look for the heater...DAMMIT..

[Aristotelian]

I blame Angelos.

He has been great. But honestly his splitter hasn't been that good

Exactly. 

We need to remember, Mateo makes that catch at worse this is a tie game. 

I get trying to keep his speed around for the playoff roster, but STOP playing him.

Any minuscule chance Bautista had at the CY award just went bye bye tonight.
