In the postgame show after the 23 run outburst, Stanton mentioned the key was Astros hitters focused on hitting line drives and not swinging for the fences.  Get enough hard hit balls, the home runs will take care of themselves.

Ever since then it seems everyone is swinging for the fences on every pitch.  They should stop doing that.

This thread is a nightmare after losses

I suppose it’s that way throughout the sports world. Basically means the team is good enough that losses suggest slippage in performance...which annoys fans of all contending teams. A series of slippages of course compounds the angst, and we’ve definitely had both this week. 

Let’s turn it around today.

yep. Don't mind the call, just didn't execute. If Correa gets a base hit, Marisnik scores and this game would have ended 3-2 Astros.
Alot of "if" there.

"If" correa doubles, triples, or homers anyone would score from 2nd.

I hate that he keeps PR for Yordan because typically from my recollection it hasn't worked but a very low % of time and we lose our best one hitter quitter.

As someone else mentioned...we never sac bunt when fucking situations call for it so why are we pinch running on the hope Correa gets a single. What is the statistical analysis of the chance Correa singles? It has to be low as fuck. For a team built on numbers that seems to be a fucking retarded gamble....yet he continues to do it.

Let me do the math for you.

Correa has 39 singles in 301 pa. 13% chance he singles. He has 36 doubles+triples+homers in 301 pa. 12% chance he does one of those things.
He has 33 walks+ hbp in 301 pa. 11% chance he does that.


So for 1 fucking % more chance we take out Yordan.


Not on board with that.

I fell asleep in extras before the game was decided, but irrespective of the game result I still don't and will never agree with this fucktarded strategy AJ has employed a few times recently where he takes our highest OPS bat out of the lineup for baserunning and/or defensive purposes. 

I get the reasoning and I don't need to be schooled on the logic behind it, I just flatly don't agree with it at all. Yordan is our young Pujols, you don't EVER remove those bats from a lineup for strategic purposes. AJ is outsmarting himself here.
