Carlos Correa: Vibes around Astros clubhouse 'remind me of '17 and '19'

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 6/14/21

After a 29-31 2020 campaign, it seems like the Houston Astros are back on track in 2021.

The Astros are second in the AL West with a 37-28 record, and star shortstop Carlos Correa sees similarities between this year's team and Houston's 2017 and 2019 World Series teams.

Carlos Correa: "I believe in this team. I got a great feeling about this team. Everyone is on the same page. The vibes in the clubhouse reminds me of ‘17 and ‘19. I really love this team.”

The Astros won a title in 2017, though it was marred by their sign-stealing scandal, and made it to the Fall Classic in 2019, but fell to the Washington Nationals.

Correa's comments come after Houston put up a season-high 20 hits in Sunday's 14-3 blowout win over the Minnesota Twins. Houston has now won four straight series and is just two games back of the Oakland Athletics for the AL West lead.

At this point, everything is clicking for the Astros, and they look like a team primed to make another title run in 2021.
