Crap

To be clear, I don't think Carlos Correa has healed Christian Walker's baseball skills, I just think Walker is no longer the sole veteran being relied on to produce runs en masse anymore and the reduction of that mental pressure has him more relaxed. If Yordan hadn't gotten hurt and had even a 75% vintage Yordan season, I'm sure Walker would be having a much better year.

I think with Tucker & Bregman gone, Yordan hurt, and Paredes - the other new guy - just mashing right away, Walker was trying to do too much and hit everything out of the ballpark. It's the classic Catch 22 - once you stop worrying about hitting HRs, you start hitting HRs.

That's how you avoid a twin killing. We should do that more.

Pena steals 3rd

"The easiest base to steal in baseball is 3B with a RHH and a LHP"

C Biggio

Jose over matched there

Walker blown away too. Rodgers is petty good

8 pitch single. Not optimum.

Carlos doing it all

Nice.

Gunnar strikes

Down 1-0 early

Not so nice.

flipped 77 mph curve ball over the plate

not advisable

Spaghetti doing Spaghetti things.

Another hanging curve. Lucky that's not in the stands.

With Rodgers on the mound, can't afford to allow many more. Those Altuve and Walker ABs were killers

Spencer getting rocked early and often

offspeed pitches getting hammered

4 hits and 24 pitches not yet through an inning.

Thankfully lined out.

Spencer's blister isn't healed….
