    As great as Musgrove is pitching, I'd take his peak being 5-year good #3 starter for us.

    Dang, it was clear they weren't going to pitch anywhere close to Correa and he swung at pitches that weren't good.

    Yes! Not much hitting talent on the team but the approaches are awful for most of the team.

    I love Carlos but man he has to be more aggressive early in the count. He can't be this passive with the crap that is the 5-9 hitters right now.

    To be fair, that change up that Barnes is throwing is filthy. But I really, really wish Correa would start swinging at first pitch strikes a little more often. Gotta be aggressive when you literally have hot garbage behind you.
