No kidding. The Astros were all but conceding the steal with the threat of Alford at 3rd. That was bad management. Again.

Not to scapegoat but I think it’s the manager call. I guess it’s their philosophy to not want to steal.

Teoscar, not a dp problem, first and third one out are much better scoring odds then runner on third and two out. It just didn’t work this time.

I think I’d prefer to have Kristi Yamaguchi pitch right now.

Shulman sounded legitimately surprised when he got the K.

Yamuguchi isn’t the player you want in this spot right now. Curve ball, breaking ball is a recipe for a fly ball.

He looked safe? But probably not enough to overturn anyways.

Pretty much my thoughts. I don't think there was conclusive evidence to overturn the first call.

Bad pitch but a trim player would’ve got that at first. C’mon Vlad.

The inning isn’t over yet. He could still do more damage.

Yamaguchi should be banned from pitching in high leverage situations. He should be the last resort before a non-pitcher until he proves otherwise.

Yep. If he gets another shot it should be in long relief. He has shown he can’t throw strikes and thats a big no no in tight games.

Kinda funny that big Joe West doesn’t have a mask on when arguing in close proximity.
