Gray is a pretty good pitcher on small market teams with absolutely no pressure on him. Got to give him that.

Need to get Pena out of the top spot. It's not a good fit.
Bets that Dubon leads off soon?
This shadow almost makes the game unwatchable.
Correa down to .071 vs Houston.
Y'all think he regrets moving on?
5 shutout for Urquidy
Houdini Urquidy

I think all he cares about is the money honestly. Love Carlos for what he did in Houston… but he strikes me as somebody who is fine for the time being. Maybe later in his career he's going to wish he had another ring
when a player hits free agency...the Twins are not on his top 10 list
it's a place where players go to be forgotten --- which is generally true for the entire AL Central

Carlos seemed like the kind of guy who wanted to be THE MAN with no questions about it.
Houston is Altuve's town and probably will be for the rest of most of our lives.
He wanted to get out and make a lot of money and prove he could carry his own team.
So far, it's not working out for him.
I was always a lot more surprised that Springer left than Correa.

Spinger was resentful of the front office waiting to bring him up in effect delaying the start to his major league clock, at least that's what I heard at the time.The Porkchop Express said:

I think you're way off on Carlos. I think he would've loved to retire in Astro and win titles with us but I don't think he was going to give up tens to hundreds of millions of dollars to do it.
Plus gave him a low-ball extension offer. Can't forget about that.
I think if we matched an offer he would have stayed. I still think there was another offer out there besides the 6 year deal we offered and the 10+ year deal that people speculated would get him.
In hindsight though, we are better off with Pena I think

Astros were 8th entering today in most strikeouts. 12 so far puts them in the top 2 depending what else happens this afternoon. That is a very far cry from past teams. Getting Altuve and Brantley back will help that trend.
I remember them doing that to Hunter Pence as well.Charlie Conway said:Spinger was resentful of the front office waiting to bring him up in effect delaying the start to his major league clock, at least that's what I heard at the time.The Porkchop Express said:

Is Sonny Gray going to pitch a complete game and strike out 20 batters today? Yeesh
Dubon needs to make that play. If he's in there for his defense, then he needs to get to that. If he can't even do that, he's frankly worthless.
Solid outing for Urquidy. Wish the bats could have given him some more cushion, though.
Probably, but you can't deny that Correa is the real deal (with injuries factored in). It would've been amazing for him and Altuve to be double play combos for almost the entirety of their careers.
Good thing Dubon is actually getting an occasional hit, because his glove has not been great.
Pay Gallo $11 million then pinch hit for him with 2 guys on when you're down 1. Solid strategy.
Aggies and Astros… come on, find a groove.
Maldy has had quite a few defensive blunders already this year.
Very smooth, Peña
is Correa dedicating today's game to his former team?
2022 WS MVP Pena throwing out Carlos Correa. Imagine telling an Astros fan that in 2021
Amazing isn't it? Who would ever have thunk it.
Pena looks terrible at the plate...and that's being kind
