How is Paddack not even 30? Crazy.
Anyhow, let’s hope good Rodon shows up tonight.
I don’t think Santana liked that. Soto is such a character. The word that comes to mind is irrepressible.
Gleyber waking up? Or is it just the Twins?
He’s got a track record and he’s relatively young.
Was every hit oppo that inning?
rodon seems sharp tonight
Doubles all over the place. I would like to see Judge join Albert Belle as the only players with 50 HRs & 50 2Bs in one season. So he’s got to step it up.
Wow what a difficult catch. Vertigo! Top defensive left fielder, +9. I did not know that.
Getting back to the Astros cheating…it was weird how great their pitchers were. Seeing two of them out for the season with elbow surgery seems like a tip off they were doing something with something. I just don’t know what.
If Gleyber doesn’t stink that would be really good news for this lineup,
4 runs in an inning without a HR? When was the last time they did that?
verdugo snowconed that one
great play
I think lemahieu changed his stance. his hands seem farther from his body before loading. The bat wag reminds me of knoblauch
DJ game 7 not exactly killing it.
That’s another reason why the #9 spot is perfect for him to round into form.
great frame job by wells there
Soto, judge, vertigo, Stanton – murderers row? Not this time thru the order, with 4ks in a row
Wild stuff we’re watching
Rodon pitching quite a game
Robot umps, please
Rocco Baldelli is a manager?!?!!??!!!
Lol. Twins. lmao.
Triple!
Agree with Gasparini.
This team!
Vil, welcome back!
Blistering the ball.
I feel sorry for that catcher.
Silly out, but I’ll take Stanton hitting like this.
Miss all you old timers and looking forward to seeing what you new-to-me folks bring to the binder debate.
Pretty sure Girardi’s gone. But I’d take him back in a heartbeat, given what they have to deal with in his stead.
Damn Gianni hits the ball hard.
And runs the bases like a graduate of TJPSOB.
“Legging one out” should … not be in Stanton’s vocabulary
First triple for Judge in five years
Stanton and Volpe almost at 800. Judge leading Soto 1088-1029.
The Kay jinx. Fifth inning too early to get all excited.
ah well
Well, that was an incredible little ride there. Applause for Rodon!
Also, I blame Flash for that.
Damn, that was way the hell up there. Really high. Not easy to hit that.
Fortunately we added on.
Didn’t Diego Castillo used to be good?
Bases loaded walks are anticlimactic
Ben Rice with a HR in AAA.
Who still has options? If Blake has possibly unlocked Tonkin, you can’t DFA him, so can anyone else be sent down once Schmidt and Cole return (Poteet is the other guy who would be sent down)?
Santana doesn’t want Holmes to have the night off.
I’m legit surprised Santana was allowed to start the inning.
Dennis Santana, whoever he is, sure sucks
Volpe wants to lead the league in Little League dingers!
IKF with the walk off hit against BAL
IKF delivers winning hit as Whiny Jays beat O’s in a walk off.
I don’t get using Santana for two innings. Are they trying to keep Caleb Ferguson rested?
Hooray for IKF which is probably the first time I ever typed that.
25 games over 500. Who saw that coming? Not b-ref with their 71 win projection!
Man, imagine if Blake has unlocked Tonkin? He’s always had a live arm, that’s why teams kept picking him up on waivers.
Can you even imagine Cash whenever a live arm gets DFA’ed? He must want to collect each one, hoping Blake can work his voodoo on them.
As I write that, that basically IS what Cash did this offseason, just claiming every live arm out there.
and Santana
Looks like Anthony Seigler is done as a prospect. Can’t hit, no longer playing catcher.
Siegler and Breaux set at catcher for years.
