    I assume it was because he was picked off. Posts like this are scary because I immediately thought injury.

    Yes

    If the later, it would have been "Oh f*cking no George".

    All these pick-offs are really annoying me.

    great! I hope he, White, Davis, and Fisher all have a great spring and at least show off their skillset. Reed was the only one falling behind the race--at a minimum he might make for some intriguing trade bait. Keep hitting them out of the park big fella !

    Am I the only one noticing the backside collapse in his swing? Hinch even comments on his balance:

    but on more than one of KTuck's home runs his back knee almost hits the ground.

    I remember Springer had a big problem with back-side collapse early in his career.

    Springer's backside collapse was a problem because it meant his swing was too long and had too many holes in it. Front shoulder lifted up, hips opened up, bat didn't stay in the zone long enough. Look at Tucker's swing in slo mo...that barrel stays through the zone for a longggg time. It's a sweet swing.

    Bagwell needs to coach better.

    That's better than Correa so far. That is totally unacceptable with Correa being a World Champion. Correa is looking like a AAAA player.

    That's a pop fly, folks. Kid is a little rusty in spring training. In mid season, that is going to be a monster HR.

    Neither Houston nor Florida is televising today's game so I assume no streams.
