So much for the synergistic chemistry lab.
George Springer and the Houston Astros grabbed a win against the Oakland A's on Tuesday night, but instead of hitting the town to celebrate, the players decided to bring the party to their clubhouse.Springer explained after the game that the players have created "Club Astros" for their postgame celebrations, complete with a fog machine, disco ball and laser light show.When reporters pointed out to the 25-year-old outfielder that the club was reminiscent of the disco days of the 1970's, Springer hilariously responded, "Well, it's 2015 and we are killing it, so we might as well have some fun."

I'm a little slow--just cluing into Correa the past couple of days (James mentioned him yesterday in a post on "The Best Young Player in Baseball"--which is not about Correa, but rather a system for identifying who it is at any given time).
