That actually looked like a hit and run. I don’t think Straw swings at that pitch if Straw hadn’t been running.
He did hesitate briefly around second base to make sure the ball was not caught.
No. That was a 3-2 pitch. Not a hit and run. Chas started to stay out of a DP.
Ah.
I don’t know why. If it had been caught he was toast.
It was a 3-2 pitch.
Ah. Body is too similar to what you recently posted
Right. Once he broke on the pitch, he might as well keep running. I doubt he slowed down anywhere.
Yes. I was just repeating Kalas, I didn’t see him hesitate or look back.
Straw’s road BA is .280-something.
Camera was on the RF the entire time.
I’m glad he took off like he did and scored.
I announced earlier Straw would end up hitting .280. Mission accomplished.
At the stretch…2-1 Astros
Blummer’s commerical-bombs when they cut to Stanton and Eschengoober make me laugh every time
Rockets get the #2 pick.
Leadoff double
Like fucking clockwork.
Oh, you got me a run? Pardon me while I shit all over myself to the first hitter.
Just over Straw’s glove.
He hit that a ton.
He learned from the mistake on 3-1 and cranked that one.
