Only took three games for Rick and Matt to start obnoxiously complaining about scoring decisions that don't actually matter.
It should have been an out, the catcher fucked up, hence the error.
It should have been an out, but the Astros made a mistake, and it resulted in a run. It was even referred to as an "Astros' gaffe" by the announcers.Except it wasn't an error, and they're right.
But other than that, great take.
It was ruled a hit and an RBI. I was wrong, happens a lot. Regardless, that's not the point!I never heard of a error on a catcher in that situation. Must be new.Only took three games for Rick and Matt to start obnoxiously complaining about scoring decisions that don't actually matter.

I don't think it has anything to do with mentality. I think it has everything to do with Kluber having elite level command, and Bauer not having that..If he had Klubers mentality, he would have a sub 2.50 era. Instead he seems to try to avoid being hit at all and being too perfect, which results in way too many pitches and walks.
Kluber understands that if you have good stuff and throw good pitches for strikes, the rest will take care of itself. That allows him to remain calm and just pitch without trying to do the impossible: ie be perfect or unhittable
