IMO if you steal third with two outs you should automatically be called out and ejected from the game.

Yeah but seriously why the gently caress are you stealing third with two outs. If you're going to blame anyone blame the manager.

I don't think Perez survives this series anyway. Might as well call them all out.

The Astros throw so many in the dirt it's actually not a bad play when you have someone with Gore's speed

another thing they should do is if you hit a fly ball and ur eric hosmer it should just count as a HR

If the replay rules allow the neighborhood play they should find a way to allow a motion that happens on nearly every slide. Signed, a neutral fan.

Any rule that hurts cool fast guys who are useless outside of pinch-running is not the rule for me.

Yes but it's not a guarantee thing for something that provides very little benefit. Look at what just happened as a prime example, you never know...

Because Gore has a better chance at stealing home than Rios does in getting a hit.

There was one play where an Astro, can't remember who, easily stole second, then bounced like a foot in the air in celebration while the tag was still on him

Tulo got David Murphy out that way when Toronto swept the Angels back in August.

Just because something has a bad result in the moment doesn't mean it's the wrong move to make in general

Yost probably didn't call for the steal specifically, just guys like Gore and Dyson automatically have the green light as far as he's concerned. And really he had a pretty ridiculous jump and beat the throw easily, it was just a freak thing.

I agree in general that it's dumb but it's just the way the Royals work and will continue to work as long as Yost is here.
