August 24, 20196 yr We need to go back to the tried and true strategery of staying in place and waiting for a home run at this rate.
August 24, 20196 yr There isn’t a team in baseball history that has lost as many runs as the Astros running bases the last 5 years. It’s fucking uncanny. You’d think a team with so many stats hounds, they’d figure it out.
August 24, 20196 yr I guess Pudge Rodríguez is catching for the Angels now? Or do we just fucking suck dick on the base paths?
August 24, 20196 yr And what’s amazing is we have so many fast players. Our fucking catcher and first basemen are two of the fastest in their positions in baseball. I bet we piss away 20 runs a year on the bases.

You’d think a team with so many stats hounds, they’d figure it out. they talked about it the other night. the reason we "don't" steal many bases is because you have to make it 3/4 times to make it worth it with the numbers, against getting those bases from other means. i would think stretching for an extra base is the same math (especially with 2 outs at 3rd fucking base). before tonight we were at 71% (not counting all the bullshit times we just get thrown out doing dumb stuff).

We don’t lose runs on stealing. We lose them on dumbfuckery running the bases. And have forever. Jeff Bagwell was probably the best and smartest baserunner I’ve ever seen. Our whole teams needs to visit with him. Has zero to do with speed.

August 24, 20196 yr Getting through the Rondon inning with the lead feels like a win. Now we need some insurance with Trout due up 4th in the 9th.
August 24, 20196 yr That was an ugly inning. Hope we get good Osuna tonight. Would have been nice if we hadn't had to use him last night, especially since we started the inning with a 6 run lead.
August 24, 20196 yr You guys in Texas with SmartDNS, which of their server addresses to you use?I can’t seem to keep it from blacking our LA area games (and thus, ours tonight).
