Not sustainable. It will come down to their pitching, as usual.

Know where they won't start games at such a weird time?

Myles Straw is a fricking beast.

Did you catch that writeup on Straw from a Bleacher Report type recently?

I think it was from Crawford Boxes

No power, doesn't utilize his speed as a hitter or defender because of shite instincts.

What's not to love?

It would be nice for Correa to hit with RISP

Might be asking for too much

Surprisingly to me, he actually has a much much better BB to K ratio than you would expect from a pet rock

I think his hitting approach is total shite. That RCF shite is for Straw, not a guy with his talent. You'd think he's trying to be Tony Eusebio.

Correa needs to move below Tucker. He needs to bat with his hitting equals, straw and maldy. In fact, Myles might need to move ahead of him.

Dude seems to cap out at 25 homers, at part because of injuries in the past. But he also seems to have gotten less aggressive on pitches to drive middle-in.

He's a well-above average player, no doubt. But he's not elite.

He has always been a RC approach hitter

His struggles have been when he tries to force the pull

He has the power to go the other way

He just doesn’t hit for average at a level that is worth the mega-contract

Many of his most impactful hits to date have been center-away

Greg Maddox approves of tonight’s strike zone.

He's gotten to oppo happy. He rarely punishes pitches to pull and drive. He's almost certainly stubborn behind the scenes and does it 'his way'.
