I love that he hit an off speed pitch there.

Wasn't Greinke's last start just as good or better through 5 IP?
Yeah but I'm assuming Bielak is done for the night since he's over 80 pitches.
Let the bunting go.
It's just not gonna happen. The bunt has gone the way of the steal. It just doesn't have a place in today's game.

Because if it was easy, they would. I would wager any of our hitters 1-9 would be more likely to strike out than get a bunt single the other way.
Instead of attempting it he just hits the ball in the exact same spot 95% of the time. That's obviously working
There is a reason why pretty much everyone in baseball doesn't do what your saying.
3rd time thru the order --- Astros hammering this guy.
that's why a lot of starters get pulled before the 3rd time thru

They do. Clearly they don't think that will get them on base often enough.
Sneed is not good
That ball was crushed. And that's His 3 hitters. Don't mess around dusty.
need to score 4 more runs tonight
Sneed throwing batting practice up on the mound tonight
Less often than the ~33% of the time guys get on base in other ways?Farmer1906 said:redline248 said:Do teams not emphasize getting on base, anymore? I am not all that up to date on the modern game.Farmer1906 said:MosesHallRAB04 said:Farmer1906 said:

For the record, I'm only annoyed by it some of the time
Pull this chode... I want Beliek to get the W

But that only factors in on base. What about those extra bases? You'd have to be successful more like 40-43% of the time for it to make sense.
Weird that our bullpen let ya down. They've been so good.
I feel sick for the kid
Hanger.
These are bad hitters that are beating us.
Time to make a play.
This team is frustrating
He didn't hit it hard enough.
This is the maybe the best argument I've seen. Again, I think it probably varies batter to batter...there aren't many Barry Bonds types on each team. Are the majority of big league hitters more likely to hit a double or homer than a single?Farmer1906 said:redline248 said:Less often than the ~33% of the time guys get on base in other ways?Farmer1906 said:redline248 said:Do teams not emphasize getting on base, anymore?

I enjoy this conversation, btw
Why weren't our infielders playing in?
Double play depth. It just wasn't hit hard enough.

Hoping to turn 2. They got the grounder in the right spot just hit too slow.

You don't have to bunt to hit it to the 3rd. Inside out swing. Tucker never does it. And I agree that the entire mlb doesn't do it either. And I think it's odd for them as well
With the pen in the shape it is we need Taylor to go another inning.
Yeah I'm It trying to pick a fight.
If you can bunt for a single 33% of the time, then your ops is 660 assuming your not walking or getting hit by pitches. Opposing teams would take that 100% of the time.

At least Taylor kept that from spiraling too bad
Its either stellar pitching and zero run support, or we start hitting good bur have blow up innings.

I've never understood that term very well. What is an inside out swing?
