Remember when Crane asked Click if he would bet his job on Jake Meyers?
I mean, he's not going to be Trout out there, but still.

Is this a serious comment?
Old friend Corey Julks didn’t last in the minors long with the White Sox.

Was called up yesterday and went 1-4 with a double.
Is not in the lineup today, but given that CWS doesn’t have a lot of hitters playing well, he should get ABs.
George Springer is the least productive leadoff hitter in MLB, registering a league worst 0.271 OBP and 65 wRC+ in 170 PA.

Springer is pulling the ball at the lowest rate of his career and hitting ground balls at his highest rate
His production does not warrant batting 1st https://t.co/liuaTaMX5F pic.twitter.com/ezBrJd5z3U

I'll take credit for the win last night! Went to the game - live in NB - but I haven't been to a regular season game during these golden years and seen them lose
Go stros!

So I've been gone for 6 days and paid very little attention to the Astros while I was gone. Do I just go back?

There certainly are intrinsic characteristics to consider that stats do not capture. There's a reason Bauer is not playing right now. I think Correa has leadership qualities that are difficult to quantify. I'd add Brantley as well, and Altuve with how they work and prepare.
If stats were the be-all-end-all, the nerds would not keep creating new ones… haha.

Considering there is a perfect correlation to you being wherever you were and the Astros being undefeated, yeah you need to GTFO

Continuous improvement, capturing more and new information, & not letting perfect get in the way of better.
