Looks a little stiff like he did towards the end of last season. Hope I'm wrong and he was just shaking off the dust.
It always takes Correa a little time to get his timing down. Mostly looking to see if he is driving the ball. It was one game.
All rite JV! 1 more for 20! Sigh...........I mean CY!!! He's at 283 so's. If he gets 2 more starts I would love to see him end up with; 300+ strikeouts 20 wins under 2.50 era Curious how many pitchers PERIOD have had seasons like that, much less 35+ year olds.
Starting to get sick and fell asleep on the couch. Missed Yuli's HR but was woken up out of a daze to witness Bregman's and Yordan's. Someone needs to be tabulating the unlikely places this kid is hitting the ball in MMP. His first ever HR goes straight to the HR pump. He hit one through some hole in the outfield wall that took it out of the ballpark. He hit the now-immortalized orange seat shot into the right field upper deck. I don't even count the scoreboard during BP. And he just hit one to the people out in the restaurant in center, generously giving them a ball. It would be really unfortunate if Bregman didn't get MVP, because he's been hitting clutch shots the whole season that the Astros need to take leads and spark the offense, and his defense has been more important than Trout's. But you have to watch Astros games to get the real sense of how valuable he is in addition to the stats, which are still damn impressive in their own right.
Well, Baseball Reference actually has a page that makes this fairly easy I just found. At least for picking out the older pitchers. Now, who's the first pitcher you'd think of? Of course. Randy Johnson. Yep. Randy did it twice at the ages of 37 and 38 in 2001 and 2002, because...Randy Johnson. Just absurd numbers by The Big Unit. But who else? Nobody. Nobody 35 and older has put together that combination of stats. Now, JV might not, either. But only one other pitcher has even topped 300 Ks at that age, and that was 2002 Curt Schilling, but Curt's ERA was 3.23 in that year. Probably a little surprising, but Nolan only crested 300 Ks once in his 30s...in 1977 at the age of 30.
