  1. Dominguez really seemed like a can’t-miss.
    Then he came up to the majors and DESTROYED all comers.
    Somehow after the injury he looks like a complete loss.

    1. Martian has been fine hitting left handed. Right handed he’s hitting under 100. I wonder how much all that failure hitting from the right affects him. He also was kind of streaky in the minors, hitting so so then exploding.
      Before this afternoon he was OPSing 917 against RHPs.

    1. Hopefully that means a traumatic skin irritation that makes it too uncomfortable to play and last a long, long time.

  2. You cannot be serious.
    How does this EVER happen?
    How come they’re not fined tens of thousands of dollars for walks with a big lead?
    Especially no-out walks.
    I mean, it’s INSANE!

  3. And that was strike three (called a ball – doesn’t umpires screwing up make your day, the human element in baseball?)
    If only we could make them screw up even MORE often, wouldn’t that be grand?

    1. A thought that I think occurred simultaneously to literally everyone on the planet.
      Well, except the guy in the dugout.
      He, like the girl in the John Sebastian song, is still a mystery to me.

    1. You were killing Volpe when his OPS was higher than that!
      And it’s not like I’m really being serious, anyway.

    1. I’m hoping you mean that whenever he gets in a fix, he can reach into his bag of tricks.

    1. Agreed. Dominguez showing signs was also nice, but Warren’s the biggest deal.

    1. I don’t want him to be injured, of course, but it’s interesting that he added a lot of extra velocity to his fastball this Spring, and you have to wonder if there’s an added health risk when you do that.
