I thought the headline announced him as "game one starter"

Arraez has been hitting a ton of lazy fly balls as of late.

I believe it's Mal- E. That seems to be the concensus.

Disgusting bottom 1. seven pitches. 3 weak swings.

Yep, a lot of pop ups, his launch angle is out of whack right now.

Slug fest.

I'll say it: Correa's had a disappointing year.  I don't know about anyone else here, but I expected more.  Houston is a band box, and Correa was benefitting from playing in perhaps the best hitter's park outside of NYY.  He's good, but not as good as advertised that's for sure. 

That is one way to get an out.

Buxton makes that throw.

Yeah, and he's really struggling rn too, when they really need him.

But do they challenge Buxton?

 

We was layin' in the weeds, like a rake. 

So remind me why i shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth?

Of all the parks Ive been to the only nice thing I can say about Houston's is the hotel we stayed at was within easy walking distance

If we see 8 pitches, is that progress?

They have a Motel 6 next to the park?

He's certainly not hitting like he's done in the past, or can, but he's playing a great short. I agree though...it sure would be nice to see him smack the ball around and drive in some runs.

They have a "ballpark" next to a Motel 6.

Banging on the trash can didn't hurt either.

Overall, he was a solid part of a great lineup, but it's not like he carried the team. In the Twins' lineup, he needs to carry the team too often and I don't think he is that good.

Not great at bats so far. Clearly planning on attacking the fastball early in the count to avoid the breaking ball, but just pounding it into the ground.

He doesn't have guys like Altuve, Bregman, Gurriel, Tucker, etc  in the lineup, either.

Berrios' total pitches in 2 innings are 14.
