re: DAT 7/2: Astros (Brown) @ Rockies (Gomber), 7:40 CDT

We suck at base running. It’s remarkable

Several sources indicate that the Houston Astros have experienced issues with their base running, leading to detrimental mistakes during games.
Some specific examples of these base-running mishaps include:
Pinch runner Garrett Stubbs getting caught stealing at third base to end an inning in a close loss to the Giants.
Jose Altuve's blunder in missing second base after assuming a deep fly ball by Alex Bregman was a home run in the 2023 ALCS, leading to an inning-ending double play.
A critical baserunning blunder in extra innings that cost the Astros a game against the Guardians.
The Astros' commitment to an aggressive baserunning strategy has also been discussed, with some sources highlighting mixed results and concerns about the number of outs made on the bases. However, the team has also expressed a continued belief in this philosophy, aiming to put pressure on opponents and force defensive mistakes.
While the available search results don't definitively pinpoint one single reason for every base-running issue, it's clear that costly mistakes and a potentially unbalanced aggressive approach have played a role in recent seasons
