Dusty has said it over and over again that he likes Dubon's glove in CF. Well let's see it then. 

Chas and Meyers are better hitters

I know it’s Laureano but if this is the baseball basics episode why aren’t they talking about the need for a guy to tag up and get to third on a ball hit 400’ to right center so he can score on a wild pitch 2 pitches later?

I'll give him a bit of a break on that ball.  It looked 10 rows deep off the bat and just didn't keep carrying for some reason.

They are also both better defensive CFs

Interestingly enough- as of last week (according to Andrew- my pod co-host) the Astros had 3 of the unluckiest 11 hitters in baseball and the Arlington had like 4 of the top 20 luckiest. Also- their schedule has been trash. 
I don’t think they suck or anything but that’s an 88-92 win team imo. 

I heard in a podcast this week (so this is a few days old) that the Rangers were hitting .326 w/ RISP, 50 points better than 2nd place.  So that will definitely come back to earth.  Of course in 2016 I kept waiting for their luck to run out and it never did.

It seems like every at bat since Altuve came back there is one or more pitches way inside.  Kind of horseshit that guys are using an injury to get in his head when there is a real chance they could hit him again.

Framber dealing, 43 pitches through 4.  Maybe score some runs?

I don’t understand.

are you saying that’s not a ball a normal guy can tag up on if it’s caught?

if not, what you’re saying doesn’t make sense. 
If it’s 10 rows deep, he can talk home. If it’s caught, he’s lazy for being off the bag and not in position to tag.

 

now, I can maybe give him the benefit of the doubt to be in a spot to score if it goes off the wall or something which is what I guess he was doing

I'm saying that he should have tagged up, clearly the right thing to do if you think it might be caught. But I think his option was, if I'm wrong, and it's not gone, I need to be ready to score if it hits the wall, not to tag up.  And if it's 10 rows deep, most guys are already jogging home on that, not getting ready to tag up

We've been the hottest team for the last week, and today are getting no-hit by a pitcher that is 0-3 with and era close to 9. Baseball. 

We've got Winning Catcher Maldonado up this inning, so everyone chill.

Nice hit. Stupid on the base path

Maldy took the out so Jake could score 

He was going to score anyway

Some of you guys just don't understand how brilliant you have to be to Win.

Damn Kalas really on one now....thinks Yordan is pitching

Someone finally slapped him upside the head to reset him.  Three straight times he said Yordan before finally skipping back to Framber.

100% chance that Dusty believes this.

He did have a quality start in his last appearance against Texas. Maybe he had a big mechanical change that's working out.

You're not that fast dumbass

Close, not sure they'll overturn it.

Abreu's best game of the season, IMO.  Still time for him to fuck it up.

2 walks !

Y'all keep talking shit about Jake.  9 straight times on base.  What's the team record?  It seems like I remember Berkman at 12 but I'm probably wrong.

Name that astro....Jose Cruuuuuuuz

Probably will get some MVP chants next AB

Trevor Bauer got demoted to the Japanese minor leagues.  First batter he faced there hit a homer.

Analytics may say to score here, but I say to go 1-2-3 so we don't break our pitcher's rhythm!!!

Y’all keep talking shit about maldy

Wow, for a pitcher to give up an XBH to Maldonado then walk Altuve is like seeing a unicorn.

So, Bagwell in the booth next series.  I wonder if he'll discuss the offseason moves much.
