Just do the Willy Tavares 15 years outdated small ball (who himself then was playing 15 years outdated small ball). Screw a "slugging %" anyway
Bunting for a hit is never outdated...Myles Straw and Willy Taveras had all the speed you'd need but were handicapped by being RHB For example, Brett Butler had 245 bunt hits over his career.
Not sure if the audio is good on this, but you can get the picture, I'd find a good copy and show it to every kid I knew who loved playing baseball. Hand placement on the bat is key This is always fun:
I've got all numbers. Nats indeed started 19-31 (Stros started 33-17 but apparently those games don't count)
Pettitte should coach all the LHP on pickoff moves and holding runners, and Clemens should do the same for RHP
Do you remember Sam Deduno? Me either, nobody does. He pitched in 5 games, started 1, in 2014 2013 was somehow worse. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/HOU/2013-pitching.shtml
Had no idea I was in charge of Ike and Tina's audio/visual show in the Astros Forum on the Clutchfans BBS.
No. What will the lineup look like when Alvarez gets back? Pena Altuve Alvarez Correa Walker Diaz Sanchez/Cam platoon Urias Melton (yuk) or Myers
Nah, people were saying Kremer had dominated us. Kremer has an ERA above 4. Rogers has an ERA of 1.41. Huge difference here.
Good thing going for us is the Orioles haven't won 4 consecutive Rogers starts this year. He usually goes 3 then they lose by not scoring. Arrighetti will need to pitch a shutout for 5 innings to have a chance.
