The Astros attempt to catch a ball

  1. If you want to know how our defense has played the last few series, this just about sums it up.

  2. I’m honestly just impressed by the placement of that ball. It found the one square inch of the field where this could possibly occur

  3. Nobody got hurt.

    Could have been way worse. Altuve or Peña could have been lost for the year.

  4. As a mariners fan sick of the Astros kicking our ass for a decade straight…I had a nice chuckle watching this…

    Does it help with the suffering? Not really. But again I had a nice chuckle

  5. The synchronization of the 2 both sliding feet first, hitting cleats, and spinning around on their bums is really top notch stuff.

  6. I thought the video thumbnail had to be some kind of composite image, but no, there really were four guys in the frame at once in various stages of attempting to pick up one baseball.

  7. The funniest part for me is that the ball was basically directly back from 2b and the first person to actually grab it was the LF who started probably 150 feet away.

  8. How many Astros does it take to catch a ball?

    5… 4 to crash into each other and one to call an ambulance.

  9. I seem to have misplaced my book on defensive responsibilities, so I’ll just ask it here.

    Who covers second in this scenario? The third baseman? I’m assuming the pitcher is backing up home for a possible play there, and 1B seems like he needs to stay close to the bag to keep the runner honest.

  10. This is something you’d expect in a comedy sketch and not an actual real baseball game

  11. Our team has forgotten how to field a fucking baseball ever since that series against Boston.

  12. The slow mo that happened after this on the replay was absolutely memeable on Altuve. Dude looked like he was starting to flop like a soccer player but then cancelled it mid jump.

  13. Ya know, if we had put a trash can right smack in the middle, we would’ve caught that.

  14. I’m so depressed about baseball I can’t even laugh I just feel like I’m commiserating w my ast-bros

  15. Oh no, we’re back at that year where one dude slid into the other dude’s ass.

  16. Misleading headline there were a few Astros that didn’t make a play on it lol. Glad no one was hurt.

  17. Just how coach taught us in youth ball.

    Ah, the ‘ol 6-4-8-7-5 putout.

    Happens once a week below 13U.
