    1. That’s exactly what we have to hope for.
      I mean, Boone’s not going anywhere.

  1. Imagine if Volpe finally puts it together, Rice has a breakout year, Chisholm is everything he looks like he can be, Wells doesn’t take a step back, and Bellinger and Goldschmidt both hit.

  2. Smacked right up the middle – usually a classic base hit. But the second baseman was on the outfield grass AND in the middle of the infield.

  3. I love this stadium, but they really should be required by law to have a pirate ship somewhere, and a flag with the skull and crossbones somewhere else.

  4. Grisham can’t do everything for this team. Oh well. I like watching Williams pitch when he’s being aggressive. Nibbling & missing his spots not so much.

  5. As good as Williams’ stats are, I keep going back to Alonso’s dissection of that at bat – he needs a pitch that does something else.

    1. 100%. But it’s hard to argue with a guy with his stuff going after people. Pham’s not bad, but he’s hardly Joe D.

    2. The issue is that in that situation, guys like Williams are at a real disadvantage, since they know the batter just has to flick it into the outfield. They won’t necessarily make good contact, but they just need to get it out of the infield with the runner on third and less than two outs.

      It really goes back to Weaver walking Bart inexplicably.

    1. A year ago, they were at this point in time 3-15 on the road in extra inning games since 2022. Yeah, that is when managing shows itself.

  6. I’m not going to act like there wasn’t some logic to getting Devin Williams, as obviously there was, but boy, I am 100% on board with keeping Weaver over Williams next season when they likely have to choose between the two.

    1. I mean, on the one hand, I legit AM happy for the Blue Jays fans to not lose their star player, but yeah, talk about a contract that will age like milk.
