Should I let a bunt play in the Astros eighth inning yesterday bother me?
Hmm. Probably not.
But it did.
In case you were enthralled with a certain basketball trade last night instead of baseball, the Astros lost to the Washington Nationals 4-to-3. Like the score indicates, it was a close game between two teams in baseball’s upper echelon this season.
Unsurprisingly, the Astros had a plethora of chances to win. One came along in the after-mentioned eighth inning.
Here’s the scene: Josh Reddick and Yuli Gurriel collected singles before one out was recorded to start the inning.
