Since July 10 Bregman is slashing .318/.401/.639 and he has struck out 12 times in 137 PA against 15 walks. Looking more and more like a big 4. There is very little in his statistical makeup that would throw any doubt into his awesome performance this year.
No, as good and talented as Correa is, young ARod pre drugs was a Mike Trout level once in a generation player. It's really not fair to hold CC to that standard, I'm guilty of it myself. To the point: I've been high on Bregman since his last CWS, it's great to see him living up to it in the bigs. Remember, this is his 3rd year of pro ball.
Carlos Correa was hitting .320/.400/.566 when he got hurt. That is very ARod-esque. ARod had a ridiculous 1st season, but his age 21 & 22 seasons are very similar to Correa's. Correa was looking like a truly generational talent. Correa's 165 OPS+ would best all but ARod's 2 best, which both came with the Yankees.
You have derailed the very conversation you claim you were protecting. Way to become what you try to stop... Kevin if you are going to use the internet put on your big girl panties... I know it's hard for a snowflake like you to stop sniffing and crying but try for us please. OK?
Bregman has an .850 OPS. He's 23, in his first full season in the majors. He's a freaking stud. Springer Bregman Altuve Correa Reddick Gurriel Marwin McCann Beltran / Gattis / Fisher is an absolutely ridiculous lineup that can win the World Series this year. I still believe.
I agree with you, but how likely is it that the Astros or any team wins a lot of 10-9 games in the playoffs? I think we just need everyone healthy..... If we have everyone healthy, and playing like they should, we have a good shot. The rotation can go three deep with Kuechel, McCullers and Peacock The pen is potentially deep with.... Giles, Musgrove, Harris and Devo leading the way. The line up is very deep and doesn't strike out.... Bregman has continued to improve as well.
Hyperbolic statement. In the playoffs, no one (should) cares about the final score. Just whether they win or lose.
bregman is a cocky son of a b****, and I love it. dude proved that it woulda been a bad move to trade him.
We have him locked down for 5 more seasons. We have 4 superstar middle infielders, that gives us an insane amount of roster flexibility.
