Throw fucking strikes.

In summary, “Altuve will start March 28, 2019”

[Gut Wagon 8065]

En fuego? Just a tad.

[Scraps 13561]

Carlos Correa wishes he could be Alex Bregman

[RoundRobin 828]

Bregs is a machine. 

[Mez2 4023]

Wow. 

Fucking stud

[UTexasFight 9431]

Bregs fucking around, gonna end up 30/100.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

I wish Carlos Correa could be, too.

That curling routine was hilarious

What's up with Gonzalez?

[elfenix 34230]

That trade value tho

[billfromlaketravis 11458]

JD Martinez is running away with the AL MVP, but Bregman will get some votes. 

[TonyTexas 10510]

Very stale post

I haven't kept up with the race that closely, but I'd think Betts will get a lot of consideration by voters around the league. Good problem for Boston to have, I'd say.

Is the injury lingering? Correa is in a pretty rough stretch, but I've never been a fan of plate approach. Takes way too many strikes for a clean up hitter. His job isn't draw a walk, his job is to knock runs in.

Don't know what's up with CC. All I know is that he's not a demonstrably better offensive player than when he first came up. Regardless of how well he started back then, I'd think that he'd have shown steadier progression. As has been noted in this thread, he was off to a tremendous year in 2017 until he got hurt. Maybe he's just one of those guys who can't stay well long enough to steadily improve. But I obviously hope he does...and soon.

Bregs is incredibly locked in.  It seems like the last 10 or so at-bats have all been smoked line drives to the left side.  

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

La Pina!!!!!!!!!

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Batter's eye!

[UTexasFight 9431]

You hang ‘em, we bang ‘em

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Yuli pissed all over that ball.

[Jshep34 2308]

Lilshep is in his special shirt. 2-0 going into todays game 

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Big K. Nice. Let's score a couple more, just to be sure.

[TonyTexas 10510]

Very gritty outing for Dallas. Certainly didn’t have his best stuff or control. To only give up 1 run with all of those base runners is almost a miracle.

[Mez2 4023]

Correa is so lost

[Mez2 4023]

Very nice Colin. Let him go AJ and finish this

[Gut Wagon 8065]

I'm a little concerned it took Colin 12 pitches to get those three Ks. Maybe some reporter will ask him to explain himself after the game. 

[Zepol87 9185]

Here with ldogg. First time in the juice box and it's not bad. Good crowd, but watching baseball indoors is still weird though

It’s the way God intended it.  We can’t help it if it took Arlington so long to figure it out.

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Thank you Sano for swinging at that.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Bregman lined out, but why did the Twins even pitch to him after the steal? Correa couldn't have been seen as an equal threat.  

[Horny Bull 2759]

Well shit

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Fuck me.  Not Will fucking Harris.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Not even the good days are all good this season. Hope the guy's OK.

Get Osuna ready, obviously. 

[TonyTexas 10510]

It looked like he’ll be ok. He was moving it around and smiling as he walked to the dugout.

[Mez2 4023]

Rondon is dead

Yeah. But what would do you do after Harris, if it came down to it? Without checking the roster, I'm not sure who else with closing experience is available.  

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Fucking Will Harris. Please don't fuck this up.

[TonyTexas 10510]

What happened?

Hit on his right wrist on a sharp comebacker

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

I literally hate Will fucking Harris.

[Gut Wagon 8065]

Whew....
