Current losing streak aside, this Astros team is setting up to be a monster. Whatever confidence Jones/DeGoti/Toro/McCormick can gain with this unique opportunity, the better off this team will be not only this year... but for upcoming years.
Yes, if they’re dependent this year, they’re screwed. But you’re suggesting none of these guys has a chance of being an everyday guy for their career? I think that’s a bit presumptuous. Their chances to get regular playing time, on this team, were slim to none before an outbreak... if one of them comes close to making something of this opportunity, its all gravy.
Can someone explain to me on double plays, why is the lead runner simply clearing the base path, making it an easy throw to first?
