    That is a disgustingly good hitting lineup.

    Which means they will probably choke a bit tonight.

    But on paper, its a huge mismatch

    Springer would be such a better hitter if he would just concentrate on making contact rather than trying to hit it out of the f****** stadium, I'm sure they've addressed this but he just doesn't want to listen.

    I guess I am alone but I don’t see Springer as elite. I never have, I love watching him and he is a nice player but I think his book is out. .270ish 20-25 HRs. I see him as significantly behind Altuve Bregman and Correa

    He's significantly behind Bregman and Altuve for sure, but I'd put him equal to or even ahead of Correa.

    Present time probably. I was factoring this point in his career considering the age difference.

    3 hits in a row would be nice.

    Not sexy, but that was some excellent small ball offense that inning.

    Of course there had to be multiple runners on.

    Morton can now NOT have a good game.

    A win is still possible, so that's the main thing.

    .....I think we all saw that one coming. We're not only scoring 1 though.

    Charlie has been trending down for a little bit. I hope he can hang in there tonight.

    Why is Springer trying to help their catcher pick up the ball with his bat? Let them do all the work ffs.
