ALCS: Aroldis Chapman explains smiling after José Altuves homer

While we wait for Tuesday night's Game 6, we’ve ranked all 23 of Altuve’s postseason home runs, which you can watch chronologically in the video below. Jose Altuve hit his 23rd career postseason home run on Saturday night, giving him more than any other player except Manny Ramírez, who has 29. Jose Altuve #27 of the Houston Astros reacts after hitting a solo home run during the seventh inning of game one of the American League Division Series against the Boston Red Sox on October 5, 2017 at Minute Maid Park in Houston. Jose Altuve #27 of the Houston Astros reacts after hitting a solo home run off of Chris Sale #41 of the Boston Red Sox during the fifth inning of game one of the American League Division Series on October 5, 2017 at Minute Maid Park in Houston. Altuve gave the Astros their first lead of the 2019 postseason, hitting a two-run shot off the Rays in the bottom of the fifth to put Houston up 2-0 in Game 1 of the ALDS.

It was an inning of insurance runs, as the Astros tacked on a few more, eventually winning the game 7-1. It was Altuve's 19th post-season home run, tying former teammate George Springer for the most in franchise history. With Houston leading the Yankees by one in Game 7 of the ALCS, Altuve helped spark a three-run fifth inning with a solo shot. The Astros held on to win 4-0 to advance to the World Series for the second time in franchise history. Altuve's third solo home run of this contest wasn't memorable in terms of the impact on the game, as Houston was already winning 7-2, but it did carry significance. In addition to making Astros history, this blast made him the ninth player ever to hit three home runs in a playoff game.

In the bottom of the fifth, with no outs, George Springer and Altuve went back to back for a pair of homers off Corey Kluber, giving the Astros a 4-0 lead in a game they went on to win 7-2. Then the All-Star let his teammates rip off his jersey, trolling the Yankees, who had been mocking him all weekend. Altuve had hit a walkoff home run off Aroldis Chapman to send the Astros to the World Series in 2019 and hugged his jersey to his chest as he came home, telling his teammates not to tear his jersey off his chest.

He claimed it was because his wife didn’t like it when his teammates ripped off his shirt, but it led to speculation that the Astros were using buzzers under their jerseys to relay stolen signs in real time. MLB investigated the Altuve accusations and said they found nothing. Jose Altuve #27 of the Houston Astros rounds the bases after hitting a solo home run in the 10th inning of Game 2 of the 2017 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on October 25, 2017 in Los Angeles.

While uncovering the use of the Astros' replay room to steal opposing team's signs, Manfred said the league discovered no evidence Houston players had devices under their jerseys to alert them of the upcoming pitch. When Altuve rounded third and headed for home, he became lost in a sea of his teammates -- only to emerge without a shirt and a huge smile on his face. Altuve said after the 2019 walk-off to eliminate the Yankees that his wife didn't want to see him shirtless on the field. But it was the Astros who got the last laugh on Sunday when Altuve hit a dramatic three-run, walk-off homer to complete a stunning six-run rally in the ninth inning for an 8-7 win to send Houston into the All-Star break with a world of good vibes.

"And yeah, if you look at his actions, they look a little suspicious. At the end of the day, I just don't know," Chapman said, according to ESPN's Buster Olney. I can't tell you if he had the sign or didn't have the sign–I don't know.

The home run was the second of back-to-back homers from Altuve and Alex Bregman. Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve comes back out of the dugout to celebrate his third solo home run of the game during the seventh inning of Game 1 of the ALDS at Minute Maid Park on Thursday, Oct. 5, 2017, in Houston. Altuve hit home runs in the first, fifth and seventh innings to become just the 10th player to hit three post season home runs in one game. In the top of the first, Altuve tagged former Astro Charlie Morton for a solo homer that put the Astros on the board early, but the team eventually lost the game 10-3. Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve steps on home plate after hitting a solo home run to give the Astros a 2-0 lead during the fourth inning of Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday, Oct. 30, 2021 at Truist Park in Atlanta. He allowed two runs on solo home runs to Martin Maldonado and Kyle Tucker.

Altuve got the Astros started on a promising note in the 2020 ALCS, hitting a solo shot off Tampa Bay pitcher Blake Snell in the top of the first inning of Game 1. Unfortunately for Houston, the team failed to score again throughout the 2-1 loss, despite recording nine hits compared to just six for Tampa Bay. The starting pitching will be the initial dominant storyline of the World Series, but ironically, the Astros clinched the pennant on a night when both managers went to a bullpen day in lieu of a traditional starter. Meanwhile, Chad Green threw the first inning for New York and gave up Gurriel's home run. The Yankees fell to 12-6 in opener games, including the postseason, and Houston won one for the first time in three tries. According to Elias Sports Bureau research, the most recent postseason game in which neither starting pitcher threw at least two innings was Game 4 of the 1999 ALDS between the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians.

Fans crushed Aroldis Chapman for smiling after losing the ACLS, but his explanation makes sense

In the top of the 10th, with no outs and the game tied at 3, Altuve gave the Astros the lead with a line drive, solo home run off Josh Fields. This home run boosted the Astros’ chances of winning by 34%, more than any other of Altuve’s non-walk-off postseason homers. Correa tacked on another with a back-to-back home run, before giving up the lead in the bottom of the inning. George Springer hit a two-run homer in the top of the 11th, and the Dodgers rallied with a homer of their own in the bottom, but the Astros held on to win 7-6 in one of the best World Series games ever—at least until 4 nights later. The 2018 ALDS was about as dominant as it gets for the Astros, who swept the Cleveland Indians in three games with a plus-15 run differential.

Coming off his second Tommy John surgery, Taillon got his ERA under 5.00 in his first 17 starts back with his outing Sunday. He’s struggled with command and consistency through the first half.

Down 2-1 in the top of the eighth, Altuve sent Garrett Whitlock’s 96 mph sinker over the Green Monster, tying the game at 2 and marking a turning point in both the game and the series. The Astros went on to win that game 9-2 and eventually earned their third World Series berth in five years two games later. In the bottom first, Altuve sent a Tyler Glasnow 100 mph fastball out of the park, giving the Astros a 1-0 lead that led them to an eventual 4-3 win.

We have arrived at a World Series that will take us back to the 1960s, with marquee starting pitchers going toe to toe to see who can stay in the game longer. Only once in the past 31 World Series games have both starters lasted seven innings. The game marked the first time in postseason history that a team hit a game-tying or go-ahead home run in the top of an inning, then allowed a game-ending homer in the bottom of the inning.

In the bottom of the ninth, with 2 outs and the game tied at 4, Altuve blasted a 2-run homer off Aroldis Chapman’s 83 mph sinker to end the game and send the Astros to the 2019 World Series. Chapman had seemingly lost the zone entirely, walking Springer on five pitches in the previous at bat. With his fastball especially wild on his first two pitches to Altuve, he turned to his slider for a strike, making the count 2-1. Chapman’s look of complete disbelief and the roof being blown off Minute Maid Park as the crowd went bonkers makes this the most iconic of Altuve’s long list of postseason home runs.

No team has kept Altuve off base in his past 19 postseason games. This ALCS-ending moment, you can be sure, is not enough for him or this team. The Astros had led the entirety of Game 6 until the ninth, when Yankees first baseman DJ LeMahieu, refusing to be put away by closer Roberto Osuna, ended a 10-pitch battle by hitting a home run just beyond the outstretched arm of rightfielder George Springer.

Those who have played with him admire him as much as any player they've met, and they had no doubt he was going to come through again in the clutch. "Everybody thought we were going to lose this game, except for us," he told reporter Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet. "We kept grinding and kept battling every time and we made it happen."

In the bottom of the seventh, Altuve hit a solo shot into the Crawford Boxes on the first pitch of the at bat against Drew Smyly, making the game 7-2, Astros. In the top of the ninth, Altuve blasted a first-pitch, three-run homer off closer Liam Hendriks, making it 10-1. Altuve seems to love late-inning exclamation points, but this was among the sweetest, since it came as part of a barrage of runs after the Astros’ hitting was questioned by White Sox pitching staff. In the eighth inning of a series-deciding game, Altuve hit a solo homer off Emilio Pagán, putting the Astros up 6-1. HOUSTON — Jose Altuve got the last laugh as the Yankees collapsed in the ninth inning. The Astros second baseman hit a game-winning walkoff three-run homer off Chad Green in the bottom of the ninth as Houston rallied to beat the Yankees 8-7 Sunday.

The Yankees’ 2019 season ended in pure heartbreak Saturday night, but you might not have been able to tell from the way Aroldis Chapman exited the diamond. The attention paid to the scandal might lessen somewhat with the start of the regular season, when everybody will have more to talk about in MLB. On a 2-1 count, Chapman decided to throw a slider high and outside to Altuve. It’s understandable for Chapman to stay aggressive in that situation — even if he could have considered walking Altuve. But the 83-mph slider hung over the plate enough for Altuve to crush it.

Jose Altuve Delivers Postseason Moment Worthy of His Stature in Baseball

"It's incredible," said Astros starter Justin Verlander, who is lined up to start Game 2, likely against Washington's Stephen Strasburg. "I keep saying incredible, but it really is. The Nationals have a great rotation, have a great four starters. I like our rotation as well. It should be a great series." The Nationals likely will counter with Max Scherzer, making the Series opener the first of a series of high-profile pitching confrontations. "We're not done yet," Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "This series could have gone either way. The last series could have gone either way. We knew we had built a team to win. Now we get a chance to prove it."

He covered high school and college sports, then shifted to the Jets beat. The lefthander also echoed some of his teammates from the 2017 team — CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka most prominently — who have said they felt “cheated” out of a World Series. The home run ball bounced off the giant wall and back on to the field. He saw Houston bullpen catcher Javier Bracamonte walking past him toward the pile of Astros gathering at home plate. Chapman’s top priority to was to guard against the home run by pitching carefully around Springer and Altuve.

Tensions were high as the 2017 ALCS went back to Houston, with the Yankees taking a 3-2 series lead following three straight wins in New York. Altuve helped give the Astros some breathing room in Game 6, hitting a solo home run to lead off the bottom of the eighth, giving them a three-run lead. They piled on three more runs in the inning and walked away with a 7-1 win. There are as many reasons to love baseball as there are pitches in a season. One of the best of them, even if you are a New York Yankees fan who just watched him cut through your heart with one mighty swing, is Jose Altuve, the dynamo of a second baseman for the Houston Astros. Altuve blasted a two-run, walk-off home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth off Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman, igniting a raucous crowd and sending Houston to the World Series for the third time in franchise history and second time in three years.

"And yeah, if you look at his actions, they look a little suspicious. At the end of the day, I just don't know," Chapman said, according to ESPN's Buster Olney. I can't tell you if he had the sign or didn't have the sign–I don't know.

"It felt good, though. I'm just happy for Jose Altuve and he deserves all that. He got a little emotional after the game, and we all did. It was something special today." Down 7-2 heading to the ninth, the Astros posted their first win when trailing by five or more runs in the ninth inning since July 25, 1980 (and the first ended on a walk-off hit since July 24, 1978). "A lot of people are disappointed with the situation. That's why the commissioner did an investigation," Chapman told Olney. "Hopefully, they take the right actions. I just feel that they put baseball in a bad spot. A lot of people have suffered because of it, because of what they did, and what came out of it."

Not just a highlight, but one of those Bobby Thomson/Hank Aaron/Chris Chambliss moments that get forever preserved in the game’s amber. HOUSTON – If you get it, in the way a poet hears the muse and a sculptor sees the form, you know how good baseball can be for the soul. Baseball can be our companion on a car radio on a summer evening, our place to dine al fresco with family as we wonder from the third deck how the umpire could possibly have missed that pitch, or simply ballast to our busy lives, always there when we need it. Boone already pointed to Thursday, when the Yankees open the second half with a four-game series against the first-place Red Sox in The Bronx that could determine whether they have a shot to get back into the AL East race. With the pennant secured, the Astros will open the World Series on Tuesday at home against the well-rested Washington Nationals.

Altuve helped his team get off to a strong start in this series, hitting a solo shot in the bottom of the fifth of Game 1 to put Houston up four fun in a 7-2 victory. At times it looked like the heavy catchers’ load of the postseason—navigating detailed scouting reports, multiple sets of signs, frequent pitching changes and sign-stealing paranoia—had a corrosive effect on his offensive game as well. He swung at more pitches out of the strike zone than any other hitter in the ALCS. In the bottom of the seventh, Altuve homered off Austin Maddox, a solo shot that cemented an 8-2 Astros win that began the team’s march to a championship trophy, and made Altuve the first Astro to hit three homers in a single postseason game.

Chapman should never have allowed Altuve even the chance to do so, but from the moment Altuve showed up at a second Astros camp all those years ago after being told at the first one to stay home because he was too small, all the man needs is a chance. They’ve had plenty of it this season, but had hoped to have put some of it behind them by rebounding after their last ugly defeat last Sunday, when Chapman blew a game against the Mets and the Yankees responded by winning five of six. The Astros ripped off Altuve’s jersey after he crossed the plate — a day after Aaron Judge mimicked Altuve’s move of telling his teammates to not touch his jersey following his walk-off homer that ended the 2019 ALCS against the Yankees.

Instead, it's Houston that might someday be remembered as the team of the decade that's coming to a close. For that to happen, the Astros need to take one more step, and they are well aware that they have unfinished business. The Astros capped their third straight 100-win season with another AL title, and in doing so, they ensured that the Yankees go without a pennant in the 2010s, marking their first decade without a league title since before they acquired Babe Ruth in 1920.
