Always want to tease Justin Turner with beef jerky booby traps.

Yeah thats interesting. If a run doesn't score in the top of the inning, then we need to play small ball

I don’t get the hate for the runner on second in extras rule.  

Baseball was at its purest when I was 6 years old.  Any change from that is blasphemy.

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

let's play some small ball. bunt and sac

[Scraps 13,540]

Please go back to 1988 and bunt here.

I know it isn't the cool thing to do anymore

[UTexasFight 9,376]

I can’t believe Osuna just did that

did I really just witness that?!

A 1,2,3 inning with the guy at 2nd not even moving 90 feet 

holy shit 

[WBT 20,415]

Good job Osuna

Pitching has been nails tonight.  0.4 WHIP if that's any good.

Gotta IBB Altuve, right?

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

welp, so much for bunting

[Scraps 13,540]

Gotta IBB Altuve, right?

They should be doing that and we should be bunting. But this isn't 1988

[Guadaloopy 10,918]

Altuve was never bunting.  

[Scraps 13,540]

Fucking stupid

[YChang 3,430]

Horrible

[tx 3 putt 76,316]

Womp, Womp 

[Guadaloopy 10,918]

Why bunt with top of the order?   Win it with one hit rather than two sacs.  

[Js1 85,095]

What is this nationwide aversion to bunting a man over to third with no outs? 

[WBT 20,415]

I don’t know about walking bregman to face uncle mike right now

[RoundRobin 828]

Shit

[WBT 20,415]

well fuck me

[YChang 3,430]

BLEAHARGH

[patrickdrinksbeer 788]

what a spectacular fucking failure b10 was

[Guadaloopy 10,918]

And Uncle Mike on second next inning.  Not exactly a burner on the basepaths.  

[UTexasFight 9,376]

6 batters haven’t moved a guy on 2nd a single foot

[Scraps 13,540]

Cause getting a hit is hard

Augie (RIP) just died again watching two half innings with a runner on 2nd not move at all

[clapclapclap 9,000]

WTH, you ESPN scumbags.  Save it for Sportscenter.

I’m sure analytics show a hit in that situation is more likely than two well-executed sacs.

On this ESPN dual feed crap you can't even see the count of the at bat in the Astros game

You bunt because they have to play the infield in and probably walk both Bregman and Brantley.

And because we have a bullpen of Round Rock arms and they aren’t going to be able to do much more of this 

[Scraps 13,540]

And with bases loaded 1 out you don't need a sac....you can get a sac, hit, hbp, walk, passed ball, wild pitch

But some computer said altuve is too good of hitter to make him bunt like a little girl!

Yup. You have a shaky bullpen - bunt, sac, win

Their baseball broadcasts are the absolute fucking worst.

Way to go, Sneedly Whiplash.

[YChang 3,430]

Sad trombones...

[UTexasFight 9,376]

That’s not the worst thing

get turner

if we can’t get a guy home from 2nd spotted 6 chances, we don’t deserve to win

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

Gotta bunt him over right here, right? 

[HtownHorn 14,469]

Unbelievable. No wonder Dusty can't win when it matters. You are the home team, you play small ball in the 10th if it's tied. Hell you still play small ball down 1, right now.

This.

[Scraps 13,540]

Correa please picture the ball as Joe Kellys stupid face

[Scraps 13,540]

Now who wants to be a hero

[Scraps 13,540]

Oh god don't fuck this up

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

Nice hit Correa

[clapclapclap 9,000]

Nice

[UTexasFight 9,376]

Beautiful piece of hitting 

[UTexasFight 9,376]

Correa rounding third in a second is going to be epic
