They got a BABIP gift on Breggy's blooper. Keep in mind the Stros are facing Kluber, not some random 5th starter. They're doing just fine.
With the lineup we have, one mystery to me is that we havent had sustained hitting leading to huge innings. The way this team is built, big innings would be something one would imagine happening pretty often.
Gomes is a great throwing catcher, but I'm getting the recent impression that Aoki just might not be the fastest guy in the world. He had a great jump too.
Started watching late (still in the top 3rd), Astros are killing it this season !!! No Springer or Altuve and still rollin! We lost last game, but by ONE run. We're always in it even when losing. On the replayed catch... ball hit the glove while glove was against the wall. Looked like a catch initially, but good call.
For an analytics team, you'd figure someone in the FO would be telling them that they are the worst baserunning team in the league and to stop being so aggressive when they're that bad. Seriously, they are literally dead last in the base running metric on Fangraphs.
