    Correa needs to f'ing swing. I love the guy but he absolutely cannot be the walk man when no one behind him can drive in runs.

    Yeah but I don't really see managers come out all that often for balls and strikes in general. I wouldn't say the Astros are screwed over any more than any other team but just the fact that 1 person can ultimately decide a game based on a hunch is stupid as f&$k.

    You got to swing at anything close with 2 strikes, just to protect the plate.

    I think he does need to be more aggressive but that particular at bat wasn't a problem. He swung at a pitch to hit and he took what should have been a ball.

    In a real lineup he would be in the 6 hole at this point in his career. Beltran would have been perfect cleanup hitter for the stretch run. Oh well.

    What really sucks is that Lunhow said this is the team that can win it all he said that last night but they can't hit so how can they win it all :( They have 3 guys who can hit and a bunch of low .200 hitters ! That just won't get it done !!!!!

    The organization wasn't willing to give up people like White, Reed, Tucker to get a major league caliber hitter.

    NBA referee? Backup long-snapper?

    I'm sure you know this, but they have new-ish rules about managers leaving the dugout to "discuss" balls and strikes.

    I really dislike Tucker. He brings nothing to the game that remotely excites me.

    At least Gomez has flair when he sucks.

    Tucker just sucks.

    Luhnow is just blowing smoke up everyone's ass saying stuff like that. They blew it at the deadline and overrated a lot of their position player prospects. Hope he learns and does better in the off season.

    Reed probably not. But yeah teams were knocking down the door trying to get at White and Tucker but we just couldn't let them go. Cmon man use some common sense.
