Daniela? Love your vlogs! Jk. He's a holy phenom. The only thing that stops him are those injuries. Could be on a mvp tear of year. Same with Springer.
Injuries, yes... but they are fluke-type injuries. Broken thumb swinging a bat, broken rib from a massage. The overtraining back injury did raise some red flags... but the fact that he's shown zero signs of it hampering him this year after rest is as good a sign as any that it was an acute process that needed time, vs. a chronic process due to anatomy, wear/tear. Bagwell getting his hand broken in back to back years was also equally fluke-ish... but I never thought to think that automatically made him declared injury prone. Correa does have to play a whole season.... much like Springer had to prove he could play a whole season early on (which he eventually did).
Verlander was on PTI today and they asked him what he and Greinke have talked about since he arrived(MW and TK both mentioned how it seems pitchers show up in Houston and just get better) and he said Greinke is a big analytics guy. JV mentioned that’s probably what helped him the most to improve was the analytics we showed him. Can’t wait to see if he can use our numbers to improve.
Why you getting me in my feels right now? I still get emotional watching this clip... That 2017 championship was everything to me during this time and I know for others as well. We lost our home and my grandad passed at the same time.
I believe it. A hundred hacks makes it happen, knees too. Wish I knew where a great batting cage was....
But it's almost the same thing, right? That's how I learned...Chopping wood = swing bat, keep your back shoulder up?
