It looks to me like Altuve is intentionally throwing the ball in the dirt to 1st. I could be wrong but I saw him do it a couple nights ago and again tonight. They are easy picks for the 1B. This is an interesting approach to dealing with the yips in the middle of a big series.

It looked to me like he was thinking and trying to guide the ball, rather than just letting it go, and as a result spiked it. One hopping the ball from 50 feet away doesn't make much sense and Yuli got tied up on one of those throws and barely held on to it.
