    This is very true, but watching good baseball is vastly superior to watching terrible baseball.

    There is good baseball to watch. It just isn't the Astros.

    Anytime Tucker or Straw hit a lazy little pop fly they need the Willie Mays Hayes treatment.

    Correa could sure show how he could carry a team right about now. Earn a lot of money and such.

    Fully expecting Greinke to eventually start throwing a knuckle ball, and pitch till he’s 50.

    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.

    Love you enthusiasm.

    If any one of those 4 guys get ~250 ABs in a season the Stros are in trouble.

    Zack may've just went "full-blown crafty" in the field.

    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.

    Zack showing Yuli what he should have done. Tremendous awareness there.

    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?
