If the catcher can't catch the pitch then it shouldn't be a strike, MLB wants to make rule changes, there is one.
If I'm that ump and the catcher lets the ball hit me for a 3rd time I'm just calling everything a strike. "He's heading to 3rd and...he's not going to get there!" Blum is awesome, Kalas too.
brantley is the hitter we exactly needed in our lineup. High contact hitter surrounding a bunch of players that like to swing. Why cant Morey follow along and get a freaking 3 point shooter like what we did with brantley.
I was just saying he might have a career year. Just depends on where he moves in the lineup when Correa gets back.
When Cole had Pham down 0-2 I don't understand why he wasted fastballs and didn't work in a slider or any sort of wrinkle. What error? I know it was ruled one, but he did a hell of a job to get to that ball.
So far he's 0-5 with 2 errors and 2 strikeouts. Not a great start as an Astro, but I'm hoping he can live up to that reputation as a cheaper Marwin.
