The lack of caring about opponents' stealing bases is my #1 topic of hate. Because when you don't even try to hold them on or throw them out, is it any different than a outfielder being lazy and letting a guy turn a single into a double?

If the next manager doesn't turn Pena, Cam, and Spence (assuming he's on the roster) loose on the basepaths, I will be just as pissed as I was this year. How any coach watch Cam leg out a triple and not thing he should have 25-30 steals a year, I'll never know.

I cannot imagine an MLB manager telling his pitchers to not try to throw guys out. Yanier didn't have a great caught stealing under Dusty, albeit it was a small sample, and Vasquez the last 5 years of his career doesn't have a great caught stealing %s. I'd also like to know how quick our entire pitching staff is to home and how that compares to the league.

Some of this can be on Espada, but I personally think the majority of the reason we were so bad at CS this year is personnel related.

As you have already seen in my posts, I agree about the stolen base issue.

Ongoing Research

• Pitching mechanics differences between single-leg strength dominant and double-leg strength dominant athletes
• Effects of mound position on kinematics and kinetics during a baseball pitch
• Spatiotemporal Differences in Ground Reaction Force Profiles between Elite and Sub-Elite Baseball Pitchers
• Multilevel Regression Modeling vs. Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance for Handling Repeated Measures Biomechanics Data
• Associations between Functional Movement Screen Results and Corresponding Joint Kinematics and Kinetics during the Pitching Motion
• Differences in kinematics, arm stress, and arm laxity controlling for velocity variation in the spread of weighted ball running throws
• Relationships between Clinically Assessed Thoracic Spine Range of Motion and Trunk Mechanics during the Pitching Motion
• Mechanical Differences between Crow-Hop Throwing and Regular Pitching in Experienced Baseball Pitchers

These are the dudes who believe the Astros used trash cans in Los Angeles yet claim Mookie as their hero. https://t.co/0khy9q70uc

So in reading about these new hires I kept seeing it mentioned that they were former Driveline Baseball employees. I had no idea what Driveline was so I went and looked them up.

Adding guys with this kinda background seems like a very positive development!

That was a fun watch. Oh the glory days. BTW, with ABS Altuve wouldn't have K'd in the first inning. Ball was 1-2 inches outside.

Every time I watch an old playoff highlight video, it's Yuli Gurriel I miss the most.

I want 7 games with lots of drama.

I also want Crane and the Astros to take notice who is in the World Series and understand how they got there.

I do not think they'll overturn it, but on the replay I saw in fast time I said off foot off bag.
