    Bregman can play pretty much everywhere. A platoon with Rasmus in LF is probably where he would raise this lineup's WAR the most, given who usually platoons with Rasmus.

    Luis has been tremendous... hence why he's playing pretty much everyday, lefties included.

    Once Correa made the decision to not charge the ball and let it come to him, as deep as he was playing going to 1st was the right call, could have been close at home though.

    keuchel getting some garbage swings so far. That's either a great sign or a bad set of hitters

    I'd like to see exit velocity and distance on Springer's last night versus Val's bomb then.

    Keuchel looks really good right now, only the one hard hit ball. Otherwise grounders and K's.

    Valbuena's is being number crunched as we speak.

    Not really... wasn't all that deep of a ball, and Martin backed it up well.

    He could have gone for it... and had he been thrown out, it becomes a series of "terrible base-running, fire the coaches!" posts... perhaps this is exercising some discipline.

    See above for Springers.
