Dang, it was clear they weren't going to pitch anywhere close to Correa and he swung at pitches that weren't good.

I love Carlos but man he has to be more aggressive early in the count. He can't be this passive with the crap that is the 5-9 hitters right now.
To be fair, that change up that Barnes is throwing is filthy. But I really, really wish Correa would start swinging at first pitch strikes a little more often. Gotta be aggressive when you literally have hot garbage behind you.
