    I always wonder what the results have been overall so far with the shift. I'm sure it's easily accessible online I'm just too lazy to figure it out.

    So if Keuchel hits someone he's ejected? Not sure I agree with that call

    Beltran just doesn't care anymore ! He's been playing this game his whole life and he knows better ! This is where Hinch needs to sit his arse down so everyone can see you've gotta get your head out of your arse if you want to play

    Kalas and Blummer are talking about it right now. Kind of nit-picky by the umps. He got to second and turned around, but because his step was more toward third than first, the umps called it that way.

    That's an embarrassingly bad plate appearance if you're an umpire. He has no clue what his strike zone is.

    This is the kind of inning that these current Astros have let get away. Let's see if they can rebound. Should be out of it twice already.

    Can anyone explain to me be why Beltran's flyout didn't invoke the infield fly rule? I thought the purpose of the rule was to eliminate intentional dropping of fly balls like that.

    Only when there's a force at third.
