Trade off, sit Yordan or he got to put Melton in centerfield.

After watching the Astros hit into way too many double plays, killing scoring chances, I’m questioning the analytics of having a hitter hit with no outs and a guy on first base.

They need two positive events to have a chance to score a run. If instead you bunt the guy to second, then one hit in two chances (2 outs) scores a run 75-80% of the time. Or have the guy on first steal. I want to see Gus ball by the Astros, especially since they hit into so many dp’s.

stupid bunt

Executing is still an fucking issue as well as baseball IQ. The fucking guy can't throw a strike and Pena bunts on the 1st pitch, likely an Espada call.

Espada never bunts!!

I fucking hate this team so much. Anyone who had the slightest hope for that inning shouldn’t have. 
Only way we are scoring 2 runs today is if they score 5 or 6 and get disinterested.

Pretty sure among the career totals for Astros, Altuve unfortunately has to be among the leaders in taking a pitch a foot outside and hitting a weak ground ball to a middle infielder. 

Sigh, I miss when he would shoot that ball the opposite way.
