[Official] Orioles @ Astros

I agree

The "judgement" call comes when a player normally catches it, and loses control on the transition from the glove to the throw to try and turn a DP... I guess THAT is the play that you cannot challenge.

 

Pettis blame incoming

 

Pettis needs to go. Yesterday.

 

Wow that wasn't even close. How much longer are we going to tolerate Pettis?

 

Couldnt we just put the ballboy at third base coach? Same results!

 

no idea why he was waved off.. young has an arm.

 

How many outs can we make at home that aren't even remotely close.

 

the little things are not going our way right now. funk all around.

 

lol...isn't that the 4th or 5th Astro thrown out at the plate in the last 4-5 games? yikes

 

I'm thinking Pettis watched one random night of games 2 weeks ago where there were a number of bad OF throws (and thus this was highlighted on the MLB.TV highlight show)... either that or the nerd cave basically gave him the order that analytics say most rushed throws to the plate are inaccurate.

Because some of these sends are basically inexcusable...

 

Load the bases for Tuck!!! Smh

 

The Astros seem to be very slow running from third to home. Maybe it's the field.

 

Brutal

 

even worse when you add in tucker on deck with bases loaded. joke

 

Its become more than just a coincidence at this point... this coaching staff has to have had some sort of "strategy" meeting in order to make this a point of emphasis.

Its obviously backfired as a strategy.

 

The third base coach is awful. Gotta know your personnel. Good hitter coming up in Tucker and Marwin is not fast enough to score on that anyway.

 

Delmon Young has one of the best outfield arms in baseball.

 

Marwin is slow... but he was VERY slow on that play, and combined with a sharply hit ball and a good throw, it wasn't even close.

 

i blame morey for his analytics impact on all of houston sports

 

Cmon guys we need to stop blaming Pettis, the third base coach has no bearing on the game.
