Yep, it worked for one game. Astros plan to shift has worked for 95 games so far. Try not to get your panties in a wad every time the ball goes to a place vacated by the shift Bud Norris as it more often goes into the shift.
It was the Astros 250th HR this season. That is their all time record. Just turns out that Springer hit #250.
So every homerun hit from here on out will break the team homerun record? So it’s a short lived record is what you’re saying?
It all goes back to Miley opening up these flood gates in a second straight start. The guys behind him have been throwing bp but they wouldn't even be in there is Miley was half way decent.
Yes it worked for 1 game, 1 game both teams wanted to win. 1 game with a starter who is not himself at the moment and probably could have used all the help he could get. You either watched the first few batters or you didn't. It was pretty obvious what was happening.
