    Framber's the same way....if he could throw more strikes he would be deadly. He's got the stuff.

    They and/or their coaches don't want to commit to actually trying for it. You'll see the batters half-heartedly start to bring the bat up for a bunt occasionally, but that's not going to actually net you a bunt even if you get a good pitch to bunt. And the fielders are too smart to fall for these little bunt feints, because they know the Astros don't actually bunt a lot.

    Especially the lefties. I understand it when you're playing OAK and Chapman, but now, today?

    Not many plays in a baseball game are good Shaqtin a Fool candidates. That’s definitely one.

    I know Sutcliffe hates us but does he not know the difference between Springer and Correra?

    We need video and then a gif of that play as soon as possible. It transcends baseball in its usefulness to describe situations.
