    I got to play golf with Dierker at a charity event. I asked him about the slide into first base. He said he always asked players why they did it and the only answer he ever got that made some sense to him was that they felt their stride was off and they'd have to run with choppy steps to hit the bag.

    2nd pitch was a ball? Good grief. Thankfully, that worked out.

    Noah doesn’t seem over powering at all. Hopefully they can recognize his pitches soon

    Why is Goodrum batting 3rd? What has he ever done in his life to be able to bat 3rd for any team?

    His last 2 seasons hit .184 and .214. Why would Houston sign him? I would bat him 9th.

    As far as I know they’re not and I don’t think they should. As a long time baseball fan it’s just interesting to see the change.
