    We are easily the worst base running team in baseball

    Amazing how a slight flinch or rock gets called, but that doesn't.

    I'd argue that if you watch the replay, Jake thought there was no way the pitcher makes a move back to second... And he didn't. That foot barely pointed towards first. If you are reading the pitcher as a runner, that lead foot said "going forward". That's a missed call more than bad base running.

    That was a balk but still. Don't mess around when you are the fastest player on the team and our best hitter is at the plate.

    Just not intelligent baseball.

    Ashby called it and Blum kinda downplayed it.

    It was absolutely a balk.

    Pitcher had no intention to go to second.

    Doubront is almost as slow as Alfredo Simon. Just painful to watch.

    Did the umpire just clap as a "hurry this thing up" motion? This game is inching.

    Astros are an unlucky bunch.

    They rip the ball at guys all the time.

    Astros +180

    Rangers -6

    Only three game separation.......

    That's ridiculous
