Jeff Passan. It's damning with faint praise - the AL SS situation is a mess overall. But, yeah...

 

I've been watching the Astros since the mid-70s. The only prospect I can remember who made baseball look easy, like it was just coarsing through his veins, was Caesar Cedeno. (And JR Richard, but for different physical reasons.)

(Off the top of my head...) Thon, Caminiti, Biggio, Bagwell, Hidalgo, Berkman - even Springer, there's a hint of effort; you can see the gears working and propelling them. But not Correa - he seems so incredibly natural, like baseball is to him what breathing is to a human. It just oozes out of him. We're staring down the barrel of a potentially transcendent star, the likes of which we haven’t seen in these parts since… I don’t even know if I’ve *ever* seen a player this effortless.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, keep Mike Torrez away from him…… (Sorry, MadMax…)

I was at that game. Worst sports memory ever; for me it far surpasses 38-35 in sucktitude.

 

Me too. I remember him waving to the crowd as they carried him off on a stretcher.

 

The Rudy T moment combined with this... and they wonder why Houston fans are historically cautious.

 

My wife and I were there as well. I can still remember hearing the thunk of the ball hitting the helmet.

 

I remember the sick feeling in my stomach as he writhed in pain on the ground.

Kid continues to impress. Amazing first 20 games. I know it's so early but he is on pace for 40+ doubles and 20+ homers and there aren't too many shortstops that have ever done that over a FULL season and he COULD do it in around 100 games.

 

9 doubles and 5 homers in 3 weeks. Kid is a stud

 

i like the one with correa 2. and altuve 3.
jose altuve? 50% of the forum faints, the other go into seizures.
lucky to have both of them. correa has been everything I expected, half god half amazing.

Nevermind, seems like the one with Correa at 2 and Altuve at 3 wont embed.

 

No triples...cut Correa

 

Seriously! He would have 3 cycles already if he had the triple skill!

 

Needs to speak with El Oso Blanco about the art of the triple.
