There isn’t a team in baseball history that has lost as many runs as the Astros running bases the last 5 years.  It’s fucking uncanny.   You’d think a team with so many stats hounds, they’d figure it out.  

they talked about it the other night.

the reason we "don't" steal many bases is because you have to make it 3/4 times to make it worth it with the numbers, against getting those bases from other means.  i would think stretching for an extra base is the same math (especially with 2 outs at 3rd fucking base).

before tonight we were at 71% (not counting all the bullshit times we just get thrown out doing dumb stuff).

We don’t lose runs on stealing.  We lose them on dumbfuckery running the bases.  And have forever. 

Jeff Bagwell was probably the best and smartest baserunner I’ve ever seen. Our whole teams needs to visit with him. Has zero to do with speed.
