Have to wonder how many of Gattis's triples are really "doubles and taking 3rd on the throw home"...

Having said that, Houston's OF does have some crazy angles that could easily turn doubles into triples...

Now that was exciting to watch.  Why teams want to move their fences in, and turn awesome runners-flying-around-the-bases extra-base hits like this one into boring home runs, I have no idea.

Think the hill is coming down in Houston. Too bad.

Here's another one, and it appears to be a real triple.

Think that throw from deep CF is closest thing to a Hail Mary pass I've ever seen in majors.

Impossible, DMF.  Emotion, chemistry, and stuff like this doesn't happen.  These are professionals.  Mindless robots.

It's one of the reasons I hate hearing that we have an interest in Smarjadork.

"In this case" means just Rizzo.
