The Houston Astros are playing like it’s 2014 again, no, that is too generous, they are playing like it’s 2013. While it is still early in the season, the Astros are not playing like a winning team. They still have the talent, and their failure to launch has surprised many people around baseball. There have been mental lapses on the bases way too often as well as the ugliest swings and misses ever. Most of the focus has been on the Astros LOB and RISP for the Astros struggles.
Left on base, LOB, is the number of runners left on base when the final out of the inning is made.
