Gou're right
A golden sombrero is four strikeouts in a game by the same player. Altuve prior to that last AB had only 2 ( I think...)

Golden Sombrero
The golden sombrero comes from hockey's hat trick, three goals in a game. Thus a batter who strikes out three times in a game is said to wear the "sombrero". The word in Spanish refers to any type of hat, but in popular culture it is associated with the unwieldy huge hats worn by stereotypical cartoon Mexicans. More grand than a hat would be a sombrero that is gold. It is awarded to any player who strikes out four times in a game. A platinum sombrero for five strikeouts or a titanium sombrero for six strikeouts may be awarded but they are much rarer than a golden sombrero.I

I was really surprised to hear the Astros record in extra inning games this year.

Osuna giving off some serious cardiac Ken Giles vibes.

his primary playoff function would be as a pinch runner --- and he's struggling with that right now

(assuming Correa & Diaz eventually get back on the active roster)
Because he got picked off he's struggling as a pinch runner?

White is struggling in every aspect of the game. Kemp ain't doing much better.

Altuve seems to have lost focus. He just isn't very sound in any aspect of the game at this time. His plate discipline seems to have gotten worse. Now add fielding and baserunning trouble.

Wow, you have commented on that twice tonight. I'm guessing you are sleeping in your Altuve jammies tonight after the game too.

Absolutely a a big hit by Altuve and I love it but he is definitely not playing like expected right now. He signed a $151M / 5 year extension and he earned that by his play over his 1st 6 full seasons in MLB. He has a high bar because he was on a Hall of Fame path. We haven't seen that this year even beyond the poor plate discipline and strange baserunning decisions. He is hitting 58 points below his career average so far this year. He has 2 SB this year after having 6 30 SB years including a 56 SB season, fielding % down. I don't think he will ever steal bases like that again, but he has to hit well for years and years to come.

Can you wear a sombrero if you get a hit? Never heard it applies on a 1-5 night, for example. Maybe I never paid attention, but thought part of that was an o'fer.

Didn't he also get thrown out yesterday or the day before trying to take an extra base or on a ball in the dirt? I don't remember

Osuna tends to give up a run ever so often but thankfully he doesn't typically let it turn into a Giles sized implosion

Giles will likely own the "punched yourself in the face while walking off the mound" hardware for a while
