    Caught the ball backing up, flat-footed, had to take 2 steps to get a throw off, and it still bounced 5 times before it got to the catcher.

    Lazy.

    Great read by Altuve. If he was out we'd be roasting his baserunning prowess.

    You exaggerated a whole hell of a lot, but I still understand your overall sentiment.

    Why isn't straw bunting? Play the game dusty.

    The bottom of the Astros lineup has become a black hole. Leon needs to hurry up.

    You're right, it only bounced 3 times between the infield and home plate.

    *If you liked Everett-Ausmus you won't believe what comes next!*

    Bunt for a hit and if you get out you get out, at least the runners move.

    Maldy missing 3 fat pitches didn't help things either.

    Need Maldonado to bunt so he will only cause 1 out instead of 2.

    Nope

    Idiotic not to have Straw bunting there.

    Straw still needs to prove he's a competent hitter

    If he does .320 OBP he's a plus offensively due to speed.

    That heady play by Altuve weighs a LOT more now, considering it's now a one-run game in the 9th.
