How does a professional baseball player not get a man on third home with one out?

How does that happen?

By popping it up in the infield for the 97th time this season? 🤬

    Pretty perfect game to take a three year old to. Was over before he got too bored and got to see a couple homers. Thanks @UTPhil2006 for the suggestion about the first game certificate, had plenty of

    I’m just glad I survived another season of being the official thread starter. Thank you all for your continued support in this emotional time.   In more ways than one with tonight’s result:

I really hope someone gives him a stern talking to.

Because there’s zero accountability for failing in that situation. They can just shrug and say “that’s baseball!” and then go check their account balance…

usually it's by striking out but that was more creative

It's super annoying.

For MLB, with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs, the runner scored on 50.1% of plate appearances last year.

I should give my kids the phone and tell them to post here. I may do that next time. They were fucking pissed at this game. They make yall look civil.

The success rate at that has been around 50% for years.

astros have lost 86% of extra inning games the past two season or so 

Tough loss last night. I could sense the force was weak in this fanbase yesterday. People better get their minds right tonight, we all need this win. Not ready to call for a fans only meeting but it’s getting real close to that time.

 

It wouldn’t shock me if Joe Espada got axed by the All-Star break if things don’t turn around in a big way. The team is playing bad, unmotivated baseball and that’s on the manager.

Dubon needs to be playing every day either at OF, 1B, or 3rd. Yes. 3rd.

And batting in the 2 hole. 

I thought about him being Bregman's replacement next year.  Not the ideal power for 3rd, but it looks like he's a better hitter than Bregman overall.

Pedro Leon?

Leon has taken a long time to adjust at every level.  He's going to struggle for awhile if he gets called up and strikeout a lot.  It would create a hole in the lineup.  They need to either sign a replacement or play Dubon there.

There was this gem of a play by Joey, who appears to be one of our OFs of the future.

Such a badass play.  It’s amazing how much different it is when a player can contribute in the field.  Nobody is calling for Bregman’s head yet even though he has a wRC+ of sixtyfuckingthree because even if hes not hitting he usually makes the tough plays at 3B.  That was a big part of what made Abreu so hard to watch, an absolute zero at the plate, then he’d fuck up easy plays in the field.

Hopefully Loperfido can end up a high level defender at 1B.

He's got long arms, so his reach there would be very useful for snagging offline throws.

No it doesn't

I know this was two nights ago but didn’t see it mentioned so coming back to it…

There are many things to point to why we were 9-19 going in to our last game of April but the fact that we had 0 (ZERO!!!!) home runs from 1st AND 3rd has to be pretty high in the list.

 

like how many times in MLB history has a team taken until game 30 to get a HR from either of those positions?

damn almost in my backyard, but playing golf down the coast 

I guess the $40M+ that he’s been paid by the Astros for essentially nothing wasn’t enough motivation for LMJ to attack his rehab. 

In his defense, the harder he works the sooner he's going to have to start the rehab process all over again.

"Lance McCullers, Jr. tells me his coffee project has helped reinvigorate him to attack his rehab."

That’s not exactly what he said.

“For me, kind of chasing down this dream, alongside my rehab, has kind of reinvigorated me” is what he said. 

But then he goes on to credit this project with somehow allowing him to give the best of himself to his rehab. So flame away

 

the Don Draper gif above is the perfect response to all of this 

No FNG...gonna hurt our check swing Ks tonight

So the coffee people and business associates are his support for rehab. Well… ok then. 
Are they helping with spin rate, or how to froth a cappuccino?

I think I see why so many arms have gone down. Please go get Strom back. 

40+ years ago guys took 2nd jobs to maintain a reasonable lifestyle because wages in MLB were so.

now MLBers own the jobs the old MLBers used to do because the new MLBers get hurt and have too much money and time on their hands

Houston is favored with a SP 10.87 ERA. Cle is +110. 

Has any team had so many pitchers close to 10.00 at this point of the season?  I'm counting anyone DFA as well.  

We have been favored in a whole bunch of games cause Vegas knows we shouldn't be choking on cock like we are

Cristian Javier will go on a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, Joe Espada said. Hunter Brown is the likely starter for Sunday against the Mariners

What are your October plans ?

The Astros are:

1-8 in one run games

1-16 when scoring 3 or fewer runs

3-11 when opponent scores first

0-12 when they are outhit by the other team

2-9 with no home runs

10 losses after leading

0-13 if trailing after 6 innings

1-2-3 1st.  Who is this guy?
