Looking for lots of speed at the top of the order? Maybe so the SB needle will move up from "E" or increase the 1st to 3rd's or 2nd to home's from the current baseline of almost zilch?

Reddick doesn't exactly bring "lots of speed" though. His career high is 11 SB. And in terms of 1st-to-3rd running, Bregman seems to do that pretty well, too.

No, I think this is purely about splitting up their lefty bats.

Super, walk Dyson to lead things off. Way to ease into things, Fiers.

Altuve singles through the right side but that's all the action in the top of the 1st.

I recall chatting with Jose Lima. I'm not sure how it came up, but he said, Leadoff walks ALWAYS score!
He was somewhat animated in making the point. One might even say agitated.

This is the shit that simply happens too frequently with Correa. It needs to stop.

I bet a thousand million dollars, the next time the Astros get a leadoff walk they won't score.

Hah, trick qestion. When's the last time they got a leadoff walk?

Gallardo is very beatable but Fiers has to stop the bleeding... And the hitters have to score more runs than the other guys who have a two run head start.

Fiers played with himself last time out without getting burned. Not the case today.

Fuck fucking Mike Fucking Fiers and his fucking shit approach. I fucking hate him.

Maybe a nice bender will get their head out of their ass.

Can he get out of the 2nd in fewer than 50 pitches?

Excellent, let's get Cano up there again. He hasn't gone off yet, maybe we can get him started.
-

Let's just hope he gets out of the 2nd

When we were kids and used to play with just a handful of guys, the batter/runner was always out if you could hit him with the throw. Maybe McCann could appeal for that rule to be instated.

I regret making a cup of coffee to stay awake for this shitburger.

Fiers might be better known as cement mixer because he's slow as fuck and enjoys throwing pitches that approximate the movement, or lack thereof as the case may be.

If the Astros can score a lead-off walk, that's pretty definitive proof that lead-off walks always score.
Of course, Correa had his head up his ass again to end the inning.

I generally don't watch baseball at bars.
The manager just bought me a beer because he was worried I was about to snap after that Correa stupidity.

I think it was postgame on Sundau when Hinch said something to the extent of it's not bad baserunning, just a turn of unfortunate events. Seriously?
-
At some point, someone needs to be held responsible for the shitshow that is this team's baserunning stupidity.
-

Ball hit up the middle, deflects off pitcher's leg, Cano makes a nice sliding grab out behind second base. Correa, running from 2nd, puts his head down as he rounds 3rd, practically runs over Pettis who is throwing up the stop sign, then discovers that the ball is waiting for him in the catcher's glove.
-

Bases loaded, Correa on second. Bouncer up the middle stopped by Cano for all hands safe. Except Correa ran through the stop sign and got his ass run down to end the inning.

I guess the manager is in a tough spot there. He has to decide if another beer will calm you down or set you off. Good on him for being more heads up than any Astros on the bases

I think it seems quite reasonable to sit Correa and let him watch Marwin play short for a game. Give him some time to think about things like picking up soft ground balls, and watching your base coach when you're running the bases.

I'm lucky. The manager is a friend of mine. Otherwise I'dve been sent home 2 innings ago.

Man, I tell you what, this not having to throw the four pitches for an intentional base on balls just makes these games FLY by.

Might have been nice to have that double with a couple guys on base, eh, Correa?

Never hear about anyone named Greendick or Bluedick or Pinkdick but Reddick is fairly common.

I told my buddy Bobby we'd need to score 8 runs to win this game. Feeling a little vindicated now.

I had a professor in college whose surname was Dick. Doctor Dick. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm not sure that I ever took a class of his but I was something of a force in the department and I knew everyone and everyone knew me. At one of the initial department meetings of undergraduates a graduate student, a woman, told us, shockingly, I thought, that women should be aware of Professor Dick because at department parties he would 'get drunk and try to take advantage of you.'
First of all, to make that sort of accusation publicly you really need to be able to substantiate it. Second, Professor Dick was plainly a homosexual. Still is, if he's still alive. So it was kind of weird.
I guess I got to know him better when I ended up teaching some of his first year classes and we ended up discussing various students over the course of the semesters. I was strangely respected by my/his students. That's a gratification that I draw from more often than you might think.
I last saw Doctor Dick on the DC Metro. He was northbound on the Red Line, bound for Shady Grove, I should clarify. I was exiting I suppose. It was in the afternoon, right around rush hour. I must have been exiting at Tenleytown. My rich girlfriend would drive over and wait for me as I returned home from work. Anyway, I saw him standing inside the train and sort of hoped he wouldn't see me outside. But he did, of course, and he took two long, quick strides towards the window and half playfully jabbed his index finger into the window, hard, with a sort of don't be a stranger look.
But I never went back there until I had to go to the emergency room, and at that point I didn't really have the time for social calls.
Of course, that was when I had hair like Taylor Motter. It looked awesome.

I watched Lindor yesterday. Man, that guy is really good.
I see him almost every day, and he's terrific. I'd put him above Correa.

some nuggets from astroscounty.com from last night's game. Reddick credits Beltran with spotting a flaw in his swing which made a difference for him. Jake Kaplan reports last night was the first game the Astros have won when trailing by at least five since September 2008 and it took last years' club 18 games, rather than 10, to win their 6th.

I was browsing around on bb-ref yesterday and came across a guy who pitched for the (new) Senators in 1971 named Dick Such, which I think might be my new favorite baseball name, Dick Pole and Rusty Kuntz be damned.
