[Official] 2017 World Champion Astros @ Rangers

Nice Devo!

 

Devo in early season form.

Hopefully we manage it better so late season form looks the same way.

 

It's going to be awesome to have fresh Devo back. I'd bet his innings are cut by at least 30% from '17.

 

WOOOO

 

Damn that looked like game 2 ALCS

 

Carloooooooos

 

Correa is going to win a MVP. Soon.

 

He look okay.

 

Hinch mentioned a few times down the stretch that it was both total innings and the stress of those innings that they are monitoring relievers for fatigue. Hinch did a good job keeping innings in a normal area for most pitchers, but there were a ton of high leverage innings because the Astros were winning nearly every game early last year. Considering entire pen minus Sipp can handle pressure, I expect Hinch will have more options to spread out high leverage innings. I'm expecting some decrease in inning, but not that much.

 

In before "cut Reddick and call up K-Tuck"

 

Freakin ump thats 5 balls

 

To be able to hit a ball that hard while essentially stepping back as Correa did with that RBI double is extraordinary.

 

You will hear it even if Reddick hits .300 again.

 

That Peacock K was my favorite moment of the game thus far.

Filth.

 

The 3-4 alignment is perfect today.

 

Its gotta be so damn embarrasing to have all the space up left field side and not be able to even attempt to put it that way as a Major Leaguer. LOL.

 

DDJ had one job - get on base to prevent the 4-man OF. He failed.

 

Jerry Meals is a sh!tty umpire.
