Astros @ Royals 09/15/2023

Are we allergic to opportunity?

Way to get out there, Maldy.

Shiftfuck single, wild pitch, Royal in scoring position with one out

He’s pretty fucking casual out there.

Walk puts two on

He used to be excellent at that stuff. I think Father Time has caught up. It’s hardly surprising: that’s a brutal position.

He can sit the bench and watch Yainer Diaz play if that doesn’t change.

WTF, Peña? Step on 2B

Not with Dusty making the decisions.

2 outs but 2 in scoring position. Seems like we are playing with fire tonight

It was the right play with the speed of the batter. That ball wasn’t hit hard enough for the dp.

If Maldonado is not playing with a sense of urgency, I would hope Dusty would sit him. His base running blunder in the Oakland series was unacceptable.

End of six
3-1 Royals

WTF?! Why are they acting like that wasn’t an easy double play ball?

That’s been the norm in Javier’s starts for quite some time.

Can we PLEASE score multiple runs this next inning? It’s been a long week and I really don’t need to see the road version of the crap team that played Oakland this week.

No it wasn’t the the right play. You get the out at 2B.

I mean, once he misplayed the ball in the first place, he had to go to first and ensure one out. Both the baserunners were booking it.

It was an easy DP ball, but once he kicked it, it was all about minimizing the damage, which he did. A knucklehead would have stumbled around snd gotten no outs.

All he has to do is take one step to 2B. You get the lead runner and keep one out of scoring position.
