Houston Astros hitters are doing some serious damage of scoreboards as of late.
You had Yordan Alvarez smash a ball into the Tropicana Field scoreboard during batting practice that broke it. And on Friday night, Jose Altuve took a Garrett Crochet fastball and smashed it into the Astros’ old-school style scoreboard at Minute Maid Park, hitting it so hard that it knocked out one of the panels showing the New York Yankees’ score.
That’s a ground rule double, of course, and a funny trend for a team that looks like a contender yet again.
Here’s that moment from Friday night:
