Yep. That drops in on our defense. They laid out for it.

Reddick loafed because he thought it was gonna be caught. Difference in the game really. They are playing to win. Astros aren't. 

They are also better than we are.

[UTexasFight 9369]

Hold the line
Walks are coming next inning

Maybe try FloMax to improve your stream.

Go reread that Stark article.

Because BASEBALL

Sure, but not overwhelmingly so.

In this series, they could be anywhere from 0-3 to 3-0, and they are about to be 3-0 largely due to them playing harder, running out plays, and not making stupid mistakes.  They haven't just out "bettered" the Astros this series.  Its because they are doing the things that even little league managers yell at their kids to do.  

We are all Longhorn fans so I get it.  You probably think OU is just always "better" than us too and it doesn't matter when a DB quits on a play where he is beat anyway. OU DBs never quit on plays. Neither do the Rays. That's why they win.

patented swing

Rally, let's fucking go!!!

[cabowabo 4449]

Just not in the cards this year folks.

[TonyTexas 10478]

Fuck both these teams

[elfenix 34168]

[TexArcher 37455]

Son of a god damned bitch.

[Lat22 3990]

Stick a fork in them. They’re done.

[Huckleberry 32685]

Gurriel is just a guaranteed groundout right now.

Can't tag on that or you're thrown out on a fielded one hopper.

Only ridiculous thing about that was the announcer acting like it was a great play. That was a routine catch for a major league outfielder.

altuve would get thrown out at home on a 1-hopper to RF? come on, man.

Yep. He should have played it like it was gonna be caught.

Absolutely. He fielded that maybe 200-220 feet from home plate. Altuve gets thrown out easily at home if he tags. Not even close.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Jogging Tucker jogging too much tonight.

[htown85 159]

Altuve running isn’t worth the risk

[UTexasFight 9369]

Get Bregs up again

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Jogging Tucker jogging too much tonight.

And that’s the difference. We jog everywhere. They sprint

[htown85 159]

How many guys do we leave on base this inning? I’m going with 2.

I don't know.  It was obviously going to carry to the RF.  After he had to slide like that I think he could have tagged.

You're going to assume he is going to slide to send a runner in a risky situation to score a run to make it 5-3? No way. 

The right decision was made. He wouldn't have been sent even if he tagged. The risk/reward is off the charts to hold him.
