    Correa "flicks" a ball oppo-style off the wall. Made that look easy.

    Astros surging!

    Productive 1-4.

    Need something, anything out of 5-9.

    Cannot win games consistently with half a lineup.

    Bullpen don't fail us now.

    Offense could use another run.

    Unfortunately, this could be a winter problem.... because it's not getting fixed until the offseason.

    Vally better return quick and Gurriel needs to contribute soon. Surprise production from one other player (Kemp, Jake, catchers) would be swell.

    So THAT's what having a competent center fielder looks like

    Jake the Snake with a cold blooded assist to the plate. Perfect throw.

    Correa didn't look particularly good fielding the liner before it left the infield.

    Gattis can pick the short hop from CF but not from the pitcher. :)

    Well, very few teams have a stacked 5-9.

    Mainly looking for a decent 5-6, an ok 7, and will settle for mediocre 8-9 (provided they bring something else to the table, like defense, speed, or HR power).

    Valbuena, Gurriel... and Rasmus (if he gets his dumb cyst lanced) could possibly fill that role sooner rather than later (if not Rasmus, let Kemp get all the AB's needed).
