Just Because Torii Hunter Is Old Doesn’t Mean He Won’t Steal Second Base

After earning himself an infield hit against the Astros on Saturday, Detroit Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter looked around at his Houston Astros opponents and noticed something: even though he was on base, and the play was on-going, nobody seemed to be paying him any attention. So he kept running.

This happened back in the second inning of what eventually became a 17-2 rout, so from a statistics standpoint the stolen base (and subsequent homer by Miguel Cabrera to drive Hunter in) meant very little. But what could be more 2013 Houston Astros than completely forgetting about the runner on first, mere moments after he arrived?

Whether they discounted Hunter because of his advanced age (37) or they're just generally a forgetful group, keeping the runner close to the bag is something the Astros may want to work on.

Bomani Jones the REAL story is how dan got ppl to play themselves. THAT was good. RT @BenKrimmel: It is all faux-rage over a non-story.

Ray Ratto Via @dkaplanSBJ: Sacramento group offered major concessions 2 NBA to help win vote. Capped, then eliminated revenue sharing in new arena.

Nate Jones If Rose says he's out for the year, everyone drop the scrutiny...and then if he comes back it is a bonus. Keep expectations low.

Bomani Jones what i'm saying is, i'm not trippin on the voting in general. i'm surely not trippin about one man's vote.
