    One has to wonder if Guriel put a curse on the position, no one we have gotten that has hit everywhere before can hit there......Abreu, Singleton, and now Walker.

    Cam certainly has the arm strength. If you want to count Yordan, in the past he’s shown enough strength/accuracy to where I think it’s possible as well.

    Zero chance from Jake, Altuve or Chas.

    I wouldn’t say Singleton hit everywhere before here lol in fact I think he outperformed his expectations

    Best option by Chas was to flip it to Pena and let him throw

    Best option was praying for Morel to fall down on the way home

    They were better off walking the bases loaded and trying for a double play.

    He literally would have been struck out if the umpire makes the right call on the pitch before…

    We are completely totally unsound, do all the little things badly.

    2 Runs on 9 Hits :(.

    It only feels like the Astros have the worst slugging percentage in the league, but there are actually 7 teams behind them. They need another bat with some power.

    Step 1: Opponent wants to steal a base
    Step 2: Opponent steals a base -- sometimes two on one play

    That was before today’s game. Make it 58 SB, 5 CS now.

    It’s not like our pitchers are putting a ton of traffic on the bases either so it’s truly remarkable

    This is like FTs for the Rockets. At least the Astros can just not try to steal. Potentially.
