It’s up on the At Bat app video highlights for the game.
Looks like he ran hard, took his eye off for a beat (or just lost it) and over ran it by a step.
Will Wagner ropes a double into the right field gap on the first big league pitch he sees.

RBI single in his second at bat. I hope Billy had time to make it to California for the game.

He is a.300 hitter. Wait and see.

It never occurred to me he’d amount to anything but maybe you’re right. Either way, I hope all those guys do well.
I only saw the swing on the double, but that sure looked like an mlb swing.
Three for three on a single to right.
Plus he ran a long way only to over run it
It should be, but if he was slower, he wouldn’t have gotten there. He ran a great distance, and didn’t lay a glove on the ball. These days they don’t call that an error.
A Major League right fielder has to make that play. Every. Single. Time.
As my wise friend HH once said, errors happen. A Major League SS ought to catch routine ground balls. Every. Single. Time. Sometimes they don’t.
Of course I agree with yours and his genius. Errors happens. I’m just saying this was one of them there errors.
Hard to believe but the WC is now becoming a possibility if they don’t beat the Mariners. Now 1.5 games out.
Yeah, not arguing that point, especially since I now have seen the play. Home town scoring.
I’m not sure any of us would have thought that was possible a few months ago.
I always thought it was quite possible just not probable.

That is probably a better way to put it. We all know this group of guys knows how to win and get the job done.
The Astros for the first month of the season were one of the top 3 or 4 worst teams in all of baseball. Over the last 3 1/2 months, they are the best team in baseball. Not the Dodgers. Not the Yankees. Or the Braves or Phillies. The Astros. Playing with basically a 4/5’s replacement rotation and revolving door of replacement-level players on both sides of the ball.
If they keep anything even remotely like this up for the balance of the year, Espada, representing the larger Astros management team, easily wins manager of the year. What a Houdini job by the Astros management team.
