Interesting that 3 of the teams they are competing with for that spot are amongst the top 6 teams in payroll and all were expected to be contenders this year. Phillies and Mets were top 5 in World Series odds.
Do the Astros lead the league in being picked off and thrown out? Bring back Gary Pettis and Jose Cruz.
How much is on the base coaches and how much is on the intelligence of these players? There are some dummies on this team.
The Astro should consider all three pickoff attempts live options when facing a high-threat base-stealing team.
Astros would have walked 45 batters in the first two games in that scenario. Yankees could have won a few of those games without a hit.
