It is hard to see how we replace his production with the inhouse group we have. I hope they make him a more than competitive offer.

Walkoff was never more necessary!!!

I was talking about the collision.. thought Ced might have concussion now.. but I agree. Though that ball needs to be caught.

Good grief.. this team is snake bitten

This team deserves to go home for the winter

Dammit

This is why this guy is NOT a closer

Gambling etc

It is a bit surprising the umpires haven’t made this practice an issue since it makes their already impossible job more difficult .. any attempt to deliberately deceive the umpire as to the location of the pitch will be treated like any other interference..

It is deceit, not cheating.

Yeah like stealing signals was ok when it was in the old days but not so much with Astros technology … lol

I disagree.. the optical illusion created by the thousands of hours that teams and catchers devote to honing this “skill” to a closely measured skill is evidence that it is NOT the umpire. Human umpires are and will be fooled by this regilarly and it should be overturned by electronic zones

It is designed to deceive umpires

Exactly.. we have created an entire skill set this generation of catchers based essentially on deceiving umpires

This umpire is an argument for robocalls

We’ll take it.. Perez with some nasty after getting in trouble

Does Kjerstad have a hit since recall?

I had same thought

Their strike zone recognition is just awful

Jesus Christ O’Hearn… what a terrible at bat

You know .. maybe we might just lose out the rest of 2024

Watching the play of Rivera at 3b.. sheesh.. he is the definition of lumbering .. he takes a year to approach grounders

This team swings at every changeup out of the zone.. they look like Chris Davis clones. call it whatever, impatient, not seeing the ball, trying too hard but it is the main difference is swinging at so many bad pitches and not swinging at good pitches

Yaz is Os killer.. just like Grandpa lol

I would bet money on it… and a lot
