3 spot in the 1st has to be mentally devastating in a 7 inning game.

2 hours + 7 min and we're a game closer.  let's get the sweep.

Correa played in 109, 110 and 75 games during his age 22, 23 and 24 seasons. So he has participated in 294/486 regular season games (60%). 

He has HOF talent, to be sure, but I'd be hesitant to go all-in/long-term on a guy that missed 2 out of every 5 games (over a 3-year stretch) in his early 20s. 

Either way, both guys have always seemed intent on getting to free agency rather than signing an extension. All that is subject to change, of course. 

But who knows what the market will be - Correa will be a FA at the same time as Lindor and Seager and Story, I think (?). So the SS market may be a little saturated, and Lindor figures to be the prize (Seager has had trouble staying healthy too). Maybe That makes CC a little more affordable. Difficult to gauge what MLB spending (or anything else in the world) will look like in the winter of 2021. 

Yep- and that’s what I was saying was Correa’s only issue is injury. Now- that’s sort of like saying other than that Mrs Lincoln how was the play.

you sign correa asap. any player can get injured, just hope he stays healthy 

if we re-sign springer, shrewd move not doing it before the season. he's losing money imo but it'll be a very weak ufa class

[rvm96 1643]

Since I tagged one Kyle Tucker hater earlier I'll tag another now. @Planet Houston

[UTexasFight 9380]

Step 1: get runners on

step 2: get tucker up to bat in the 1st

Step 3: Profit aka “W”

this was meant as a blanket statement good for the entire day.

[WBT 20421]

Damn, 116 mph for Chapman's homer.

I'm not sure what Blum's talking about for George's.  McTaggart managed to find it:

Maybe they are talking about this on tv but Ford talking about last time Astros catcher caught both ends of a DH

Eusebio.1995

And he caught more innings in game 1 than Machete would do in both today.

17 innings.

caught the first 8 in game 2 before being replaced by Jared Goff’s dad

Padres catcher also caught both ends of the DH. But he had to because Brad Ausmus was the other catcher and had recently punched a water cooler that resulted in needing 6 stitches.

He's pitching. Been pitching. We are in the 5th inning

 

[WBT 20421]

Nice play by Correa.  I don't remember ever seeing a SS play the ball directly off the wall like that.  It happens a lot when it kicks off that jut-out down the line but not off the actual wall in fair territory.  

[Scraps 13542]

Really seems like it would only play here and Boston

 

 

[WBT 20421]

I thought Diaz was going to pull a Hosmer on that popup.  Probably pulled a hamstring too.

What’s the latest on Bregs?

[tx 3 putt 76379]

a run would be nice here 

[Gourmand 7774]

Three weeks away most likely
