I don't believe stat cast on the yordonger. That thing was an elevated rope. I know it barely cleared the wall of the scoreboard but it wasn't exactly coming down.

One major downer for this team this year is fielding. There has been more instances of unforced errors this year than I can remember in the past few seasons. Fielding excellence has been a hallmark of Astro teams during this great stretch of seasons.
Yet the Astros are 2nd in MLB in defensive runs saved per the Fielding Bible:

http://www.fieldingbible.com/TeamDefensiveRunsSaved

They are 10th in fewest errors committed (pre-today) with 34 - with Pena committing 12 of those (tied for most in MLB).

A little bit of a mixed bag.

That Tuve throw scare anyone else there for a bit? Really thought he short armed it for a brief moment but he deked me with the super soft one hopper ...

OK - Dubon needs no more at bats for the immediate future. Give me anyone else on the roster batting in his spot.

Exactly. Statcast has been broken on these for a while. It doesn't account for spin. At that angle I bet it gets out of Wrigley's weird little cut in in the alley as well as a few of the standard fields that just have typical dimensions (or at least very, very close).

Somewhere, Brian Cashman is tripping over himself lunging for the phone to call the Royals and trade for Benentendi. We just can't get that guy out.
