    Walker needed that to say the least. He has to get it going if he's gonna stay in the middle of the lineup

    Sure, the're very open about what they work on in ST, you can even watch it happen, and "bunt practice" by the non-speedsters/MI types is not really stressed, or taken seriously by the participants.

    we say this after every win.

    they need to go on a 10 games winning streak for me to believe it.

    Walker has hit clutch home runs against the Rangers and Mariners in the last week or so.

    106 off the bat. Elevate and celebrate!

    4 shutout innings from the pen with leverage in a game with a fill in starter and no Abreu or Hader available. Great job.

    Go to Mariners reddit to see the breakdown. Its funny they say almost the exact same thing we say with their players.

    "Astros will always own the Mariners"

    Sure, a team that struggles moving runners never works on bunting. Not even with their 7-8-9 hitters. What an impossible thing to fit in. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I like you but your bullshit know it all-isms are tiring.

    And Chas is a good bunter and I’m sure works on it. But he is the only one, right?

    Beating them isn't the same since servais was fired.
