re: DAT 4/10 Rubber Match Edition

If we can't win when keuchel starts we are in big trouble.

Where you been, ASTROBAW? I know, tMasters but stick around.

That was not a mistake. That was a very shallow flyball. If he is thrown out, everyone in here would be screaming, "How do you run on that with Carlos Correa on deck?!?"

Nope. You're down to 4 outs after the catch is made. You've got a fast runner and a bad arm. Yeah Correa is great but with 2 outs, you're counting on a wild pitch or a single. If we peg Correa as a .280 hitter, there's a rougly 72% chance he's going to make an out. That was the best opportunity to tie the game.

I fully expect this type of performance any time Houston goes up against a LH.

So you'd rather potentially take the bat out of Correa's hands on a 200 foot pop up where the CF'er had all his momentum going forward to make a throw? That is pretty hilarious it was absolutely the right call to hold steady at third.

But that is completely beside the point. Springer has got to put a better AB than that. I'm fine with the out if he battles and swings at good pitches but that was another trash at bat by Springer. He has absolutely got to be better against breaking balls

I'm not watching. At work. Thought someone mentioned he was a lefty earlier in this thread.

perfect way to end it.


alright guys, time for a winning streak.

shite.

wow.

im not acting like that, but he is the best hitter on this team. Why would you want to potentially not have him up to the dish in a high leverage situation with the game on the line because you foolishly run into an out? Every out is precious.

But anyway silly discussion tough break for the on the last two batters. Both guys hit the ball hard. A lot of good baseball ahead for this team
