Wasn't there an article showing that he's one of the worst baserunners in the league?

I'm with Blummer...Not upset at Jose for trying to stretch it.

Any ball that is hit there is automatic go for third. It took an absolutely perfect relay.

Isn't the old saying, "never get the 1st or 3rd out trying to get to third"?

Baserunning blunders are purely on coaching. We are taught to go for one more.. always run.. test the fielders.. make them best you.

And more times than not we step on our own *****.

You can be aggressive while still being smart. We don't know how to be smart. It's all or nothing.. which shows lazy coaching and lazy situational awareness.

small check minus for the ROOT broadcasting crew. If Joe Niekro is your throwback trivia astro...have to mention the 1980 1-game playoff vs. the Dodgers. It was the biggest win in the first 20 years of the franchise

Easy to say in hindsight, but that aggressiveness will get you some runs as well.

And for the record.. I'm not complaining about Hinch. I just wish we could be happy with a double there and lay off the gas when a runner on 2nd and no outs likely nets you another cushion run. If it were a one run game, I'd be all for the agressive running to try and get to third.

yes... I don't see a single reason to try and stretch it unless you're 100% sure you will make it... especially with your4/5 hitters coming up.

I'm pretty sure Jose has been told he has a green light to do whatever he wants on the base paths.

Better than *****ing about McCullers and wanting him to leave the team because he got mad.

Hindsight is all I have!

Regardless I'd like Jose to tone it down a bit on the basepaths.

FTR I like the woobirds. Also at the game they put up the nature boy and encourage it.

have to say...the AL West looks like garbage (other than the Astros).

85 wins might win the division

Or it just shows that Altuve is prone to making poor decisions on the bases. I highly doubt that the coaching staff is happy with Altuve running into as many outs as he does over the years, but what are you ultimately going to be able to about it, bench him?
