If you’re implying the Astros are better hitters because they hit into less DP’s that’s simply no true 

It could be that they have enough speed throughout the team that they can afford to send their runners. Also they have more guys in whom they are confident that they will make contact.

Not implying anything just stating the facts. Draw your own conclusions.

Had my eyes off the TV for a second and Dick acted like Jeffers crushed a fly ball. RF didn't even move

[stringer bell]

Were Nick Gordon and Niko ever teammates?

GIDP are usually hard hit balls that don’t find a hole. The stat is basically meaningless as far as determining a teams ability to hit

Some things never change

Miranda needs to be sent down when Correa comes back. Not Lewis. Lewis can hit major league pitching.

Buxton's up.  Come on, old timer, show these kids on the bases in front of you how RBIs happen.

[USAFChief]

If Gordon had stolen 2nd base we'd have a run now.

2 out, fast runner, not much power at thr plate. Why WOULDN’T you take a shot at stealing 2nd there?

Fear of failing.

Ridiculously bad managing. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Sigh.

 

I just realised these are Winder's first runs allowed, no?

I blame myself.

I'm sure Rocco and an i pad full of numbers that tell him when to try a steal. Could be the numbers are bad.

I don't think Baldelli encourages any of his players to run. It's on the manager.

[Mill1634]

Yeesh. Can we play some fake teams again so I have false optimism about this team?

[stringer bell]

I would like to see Winder come back and complete six innings. Not sure if it will happen.

[Mill1634]

A rookie starter is looking like a rookie starter against a top 10 offense in the league. Probably not surprising.

Deal

[Winston Smith]

Going out on a limb the last three days the Astros are a better team than the Twins.
