2019 Houston Astros season thread “Take It Back”

Weight doesn't bug me if you can hit the long ball... but... he hasnt hit a long ball at all this year.

Yeah, should have been at least 1 extra run that inning.

[systemnt]

Bugs me when you are that young.. trying to prove you belong on a starting roster and arent really that great a fielder ..
Just dont understand how his family, agent, trainers, etc didnt say 'hey man.. put down the fork."

[systemnt]

Whew.... just doesnt cover it...

But if that pitch doesnt go triple digits...that ends differently

[systemnt]

Stassi.
Sucks.

[SwampRabbit]

What the #%#&$* was that!?!?

[systemnt]

What the #%#&$* was that!?!?

Stassi not ****ing knowing how to run bases.
Then smiling about it.

[lilavidhunter]

Tag and go you Fat A.. About an 80% chance the throw is offline

[SwampRabbit]

Count that as 2 runs so far that should be up on the board that aren't because of the 7&8 guys inability to run!

[MassMan]

I think that's on Jake.

[lilavidhunter]

I’d blame the 3rd base coach before Jake.

[systemnt]

Tag up and run ..percentages are on your side
Jake knew it ...stassi choked..
Pretty sure pettis was telling him to freaking go.

[MassMan]

Or know the guy on 3rd is slow as **** and can't score on a ball not hit deep when the CF is charging. 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs and Brantley at the plate is not a bad situation. Jake getting to 3rd is not critical. He's already in scoring position and with 2 outs scores on anything. It's on Jake.

Yep. And White followed by Stassi had to be corrected.

[TexaRican]

Oh geesh you guys even got Smoltz bustin on White now. [emoji23]

Hes not that great a catcher not to run ****in faster and score...even with his slow ***,
Percentages ftom cf to home cleanly are lower than him making it there on a tag up and run.
Its on stassi.
