There are a freaking TON of 'Stros fans walking the streets of Boston today. Tonight should be fun

Good
World champs bandwagon plus Texans in town the same weekend

Hope for some good MVP and Let’s Go Astros chants tonight

You think we can get them to play Tops Drop during the 7th inning stretch?

Anyone else ambivalent about seeing Correa back in the four hole?

I would like to see him swing as hard as he can at the first pitch he sees today as long as it's between the on-deck circles.  He needs to do something to change the pitcher's book on his approach.

Correa is not that passive on the first pitch.   He swings 26% of the time in 0-0 counts, which is around 2% lower than league average (Bregman swings at 19% of first pitches).  Even if you restrict it to first pitch strikes he's still more aggressive than Bregman and only a few % points below league average.  

I have no expectations for Correa. I do, however, expect a big series from Altuve. We’re 12-3 since he came back despite him hitting .236 and CC hitting .220 during that period.

Thanks for finding the numbers

Bregman doesn’t take too many fastballs down the middle. Correa takes an inordinate amount of those. Is there a breakdown of pitches they watched on first pitches? Bregman is quite selective and spits on anything but what he is looking for first pitch because as his short swing allows him to protect while still hunting that fastball when behind in the count. Correa since his return gets behind watching the pitch he should hit, chases a breaking ball. Fights a few off inside cause he can’t clear his hands on the inside pitch. Then either watches the 3rd strike down the middle with multiple runners on base or hit a weak ground out to short to end the inning.

Since he’s been back his pitch recognition and timing is just off. If it’s inner third he is not starting early enough to clear his hands. If you watch the contact Bregman makes from that side angle the bat is making contact with the ball way in front of plate as he recognizes it and clears his hips and hands to get to the ball. Correa just hasn’t been able to do that yet and you wonder if it’s hesitation about hurting his back.

i hope this is the series where he arrives.

Correa is quickly ascending the ranks of the most overrated Astro ever.

Could have been worse, gerrit needs to pitch, not throw

 

Gonna need to score to win anyway

How are we so far behind his fastball

am i the only one stuck listening to the red sox guys via mlbn?

they pronounce altuve like it rhymes with groovy.  then they said "former mvp".  then on bregman, after acknowledging his strike one call was outside, said, "man, that should've been strike 3" on the ball that made it 3-1.  then they followed up with, "price is upset because he knew he should've had him (5 pitch walk)."

i'm not typically one to get bothered by crap like this, but i muted it anyway.

I like OBrien.
Normally like Eck too but it’s when he’s not calling a fake against my team and can see how he’d be annoying.
Hate to hear that Remy has cancer but glad he’s not on the air

yeah, it's not the same without remy, even as annoying as he could be.

Looks like we brought the home bats

Quit fucking guessing at the plate. 

So far it looks like we better hope Cole can keep it a one run deficit until Price is out of the game. 

This'll be one of those names where we strike out a shit ton and then still end up winning.

I often wounder why you bother to watch these games and post at the same time.

Hope I'm wrong, but it looks like Correa and Altuve are playing injured. Maybe trying to nurse them through the end of the year and playoffs. Going to need great pitching and some timely hitting to get it done.

One fucking hit

They're absolutely hurt. Altuve's right knee is killing him and reason why he can't drive anything, Correa's back is still shot and why he looks terrible.

It would be a good time for A's to start falling back so that we can start limiting our starters innings. They need to be fresh for the playoffs. 

yeah, correa and altuve both need a weeks rest or so before the playoffs 

Look at how many times Altuve's back knee collapses in his at bats

He's always kind of done that, especially when he's slumping. It looks worse now.

This and Correa is going to need some type of off-season program to protect that back.

I hope I can root for the Rangers this weekend without throwing up.

Cole needs to come out. Let the bull pen finish this.

Lets go Carlos do some shit biatch
