    ALCS game 2...Altuve should have been out by as much as that play. His aggressiveness helped us win a World Series.

    Yep, sorry I posted the first gif I found because I was being lazy :)

    They're pretty ugly compared to the older, more traditional ones.

    So it’s better to be lucky than good? Ok...
    A good 3rd base coach knows the arm of the opponents and the base running of his own team, he seems oblivious to both.

    Not necessarily lucky. What's the Astros batting average with 2 outs and RISP, let's say .250. So there is a 25% chance the next batter gets a hit to bring him in. Forcing the defense to make 2 good relay throws and the catcher to make the play might give you better odds to score the run than getting a hit.

    That play ends up an out 95% of the time and theres a lot to be said about killing the momentum of an inning. Lol I hear that annoying Angel fan.

    Obligatory GIDP. Ugh. Looks like our team really wants to break that record.

    Verlander does not inspire a lot of confidence right now.

    Too many hard hit balls since right before the break.
