The baserunning problems seem to be the one thing the team can't get a handle on. It's been an on-going issue.
We have major problems situational hitting and probably the worst 7 game sample of base running that I have ever seen. Yeah. Its early. Its ok that we aren’t ready for the season and resemble complete crap right now. The games later in the season count more right?
Literally nobody is saying that. The Astros currently suck hard. The point is that this sample size is minuscule and poor play is inevitable over the course of a season. It’s just happening at the very beginning.
We shouldn't have to give the "This comment isn't intended to measure the rest of the season by" speech either.
Which is the only sample we have. Im not panicking, I doubt anyone is. The constant reminder that it’s still early will be present on this board until mid june and it doesn’t really help at all. Everyone knows what part of the season we are in and those who point it out constantly are not any more aware of it than anyone else. Its ok to critique and to have expectations of how the team plays early in the season.
That’s fair. I think the sky is falling crowd is different than the Astros are playing like **** crowd... though there is overlap.
