    Obviously nobody is writing off their careers.

    Ok, on that at bat you, and they, ended up right

    But personally, I'm taking my chances vs our 5-9 and not Correa

    You would be a great manager if you could manage after each at bat

    Or maybe you think Rasmus is a much bigger threat than Correa

    Cool

    I like his approach - don't give me anything to hit and hope they swing at pitches in the dirt.

    The person they should walk every time he comes up there is Altuve at this point. Correa is still too passive at times. He has had some clutch hits this year but still is far too passive but with what's behind Correa, yes it is understandable to walk Correa too.

    Prepare yourself

    I'd rather go out with Gurriel, but seems that's not happening.

    Obviously not, but I'd rather go down with him.

    Sure

    But I'm pretty sure you watched the first month too, cause I know you are a true fan

    Altuve body language never looked then, like it does now

    And they might be young enough to just overcome it

    But I'm telling ya the young studs feel let down

    Not the finest 10 minutes of Correa's season

    I think calling them a AAAA player is writing them off?

    If they walked Altuve and Correa almost all of the time, we might not score other than solo HRs

    I guess--no way to really prove or disprove either side of this argument. But I'm going to have to disagree that Altuve or the others are upset about Feldman being dealt or about the lack of moves at the deadline. I think no one likes losing, and winning will/would cure all.

    No, I'm just pissed off at watching Correa repeatedly do that same tiresome ****ing dance at the plate. He'll do it again within 4 ABs.

    He got a first pitch hitter the other night and he swung and he won the game. Swing the goddam bat.

    If that's the case then about every other post on this board is a hyperbole.

    He can be as good as he wants to be. If he stepped up to the plate with an aggressive approach, he would kill it. I dont know why he sometimes just sits backs, as if he's lacking confidence. It's baffling to me.
