Jose Altuve was ejected during a Tuesday night game against the San Diego Padres for showing an umpire his bare foot.

In a clubhouse searching for leadership, Bregman has blossomed into its bedrock. Only time will tell if he remains in that clubhouse.

A slow motion replay shown on the Astros' broadcast made it clear that the ball did deflect off the toe area of Altuve's foot, validating his claim that the play should have been ruled dead and he should have been allowed to continue his at-bat.
