Jose Altuve is back to his normal self and the Astros are terrifying (Video)

Jose Altuve raked a bomb to extend the Astros lead, and this is all so scary

The Houston Astros are back. We’re not entirely sure what happened to them in the regular season this past year, but they’re back. Perhaps 60 games wasn’t long enough to shake the evil off.

Jose Altuve’s struggles were notoriously awful. The man was hitting under .200 for the better part of 60 games, which is a big enough sample size to make note of. But, now that we’re in the ALDS, he can suddenly rake again? We haven’t noticed any buzzers or trash cans, we swear. It turns out Altuve might be good at baseball.

That was Altuve’s second home run of the season, and he’s hitting over .400 in this series. His overall postseason batting average is well north of .300. If Altuve is hitting like his former MVP self, Houston is a legitimate threat to win the World Series.

Just add Altuve to the list of Astros finally playing up to par. Carlos Correa, George Springer and Alex Bregman have all come up huge so far.

They’re still a few steps away, but Halloween came a little bit early for the rest of baseball.
