Careful.  I've got a worse one teed up if Correa goes yard.

Whew.

[stringer bell]

Big at-bat for CC-4. And a K.

[rwilfong86]

I can feel the breeze from Correa's swinging K up here in NE KS.

Karlos Korrea Day !!!

Ash qualifies. Eminently. 

I didn't see his certification first time skimming the directory, but I see it now!

[RickOShea]

Yes,  Ash.  Can I hire you for my grandson's birthday?

[Cris E]

Sombrero for Carlos, who is now on pace to strike out something like 215 times this year. Eat your heart out Joey G.

[Mike Sixel]

Was CC a slow starter in Houston? IIRC, he started slowly last year also.

Gads. So I have youtube tv and it doesn't have Ballys or MLB network. I want to watch baseball!

YouTube doesn’t carry Ballys. Lots have said this on here in one of the threads

What the **** is going on with the camera shaking on the BSN broadcast?

They mentioned that at the start of the game … lots of wind causing issues

[KirbyDome89]

A bunt (right back to the pitcher) from your 3 hole hitter with 1 out and nobody on? Wtf are these guys doing?

[Robert Floren]

Looking good, not to jinx them.  BTW, what are the odds of winning 10 games in a row?  I calculate about 1 in a thousand assuming a team some over .500.  

[Mike Sixel]

He wasn't throwing him a strike, was he?

[stringer bell]

Probably the end for Ryan. Six good innings, about 80 pitches.

Larnach, good grief man. Defense has never been his forte. 

Oh come on … sun is an issue. You try staring up into it

[Mike Sixel]

Completely off topic.....CJ Cron is on pace for 30 fWAR......

Did you enjoy our #3's approach better, I hope?

Haven't indulged in that since the 1960s.

[RickOShea]

You're right.  Just ask that famous infield combo of the 50's White Sox,  Bausch and Lomb.

Fubo now carries Bally and it's miles better than DirecTV Stream, which was the only option last season.

[rwilfong86]

Let's get a few more here

No such thing in game threads. The longest English word typed exclusively with the left hand is aftercataracts.

They should do a Where Are They Now feature on Luis.  I always wonder what happened to ex-Twins.

'twas a random stat. He is coming up again in the next half inning.
