2020 Astros Season Thread

Altuve hit long before the trash can banging started.  He is late on everything right now and with his strikezone, it leads to some ugly ass swings.

We are still in spring training mode 

Which makes for a frustrating season but hopefully will set us up for winning in Oct. It's possible that the best strategy to win this year is more about keeping the team secure from COVID.

knew this was coming when I saw them fuck with the roof:

“Opening the roof in the fourth is ass,” McCullers said. “It’s not an excuse. It just is what it is. Balls were being hit  that were routine pop-ups and they were landing off walls. It was kind of just an unfortunate inning. But, like I said, the stuff was there. I felt really good. I just have to keep moving forward with that.”

I don’t know what he was watching...

I re-watched a fair amount of that inning looking to see if he was tipping considering how south it went as soon as he started pitching from the stretch, but nope. He was just leaving meatballs over the middle of the plate. 

[Scraps 13809]

Straw wasn't the main cause of all this, but he fucked up 4+ times in that inning:

-He was diddling himself on the inside the park homer

-He then threw a shitty ass ball back in

-He slowed up on the ball that hit off the wall that he possibly could have caught

-Then he threw the ball in on that play like a fucking little league player by just turning and flinging it into the infield with no actually target

 

I am good with him never doing anything but pinch running ever again lol 

[Halohal 538]

Agree. What ever happen to crashing into the wall to get the out. Where's the shift in out field. Every ball that was hit seem to find the same gap. And Altuve needs to stay infield instead of going after pop up into right field foul territory.

He would have had it if there was a hill out there but yeah, I just shook my head at the little league fling...of course the whole team looks like a bunch of little leaguers right now soooo....
