...and Popkins is big on getting the ball in the air, launch angle...and doing damage.

Popkins is the new hitting coach, no idea what Mattingly's role is anymore - doubt he has a say.

Mattingly title is Offensive Coordinator. No, it's not a joke. 

[Steeljays]

4th inning and this guy has thrown 33 pitches. 

[Masterbather]

The Easton Lucas dream is dead. RIP

[Terminator]

Leaston Lucas

[Laika]

Well that escalated quickly 

Easton Lucas is decidedly not the chosen one 

[hanton]

Well at least the fans get to see bp...

[glory]

The Easton Lucas 30 for 30 put on hold for now.

[Terminator]

The Easton Lucas era was really fun for two starts

[Masterbather]

Easton's got to plant one between the shoulder blades. These f***ers are way too comfortable. Send the message for tomorrow.

[gruber9292]

Riley guessed right on the first pitch for HR's in his last two at bats and those balls were ambushed. We need more of that. 

[jaysblue]

Easton Lucas ERA now sits at 4.80 and his FIP is 5.14. 

[hanton]

this Lucas has zero deception

[Angrioter]

Sean Nolin debut 

[Jonn]

Oh so Easton Lucas wasn't the second coming of Christ? Figures.

[Omar]

Only so much time before he turned into a pumpkin folks.

This game could get ugly.

And it has indeed turned ugly, ah well... win the next 2 games. 🤪

[Terminator]

Red Sox are losing 14-1 to the Rays in the 4th inning after dropping the weekend series to the White Sox so at least there's that

[Jonn]

I’m so jealous of teams that can hit Homeruns. Must be so fun to watch.

[hanton]

finding your power stroke at age 30

Looking forward to the nostalgia inducing post from Mac 7 years from now.

[Spanky99]

Straw for MVP!

The Braves were literally one of the worst teams in the league heading into this game.

[Stangstag]

Miles Straw has more homers (in less games too) than our 500m 1B.

Niiiiice

[Jays24]

Just remember who was on the Myles Straw bandwagon first lol

[Terminator]

• At least Lucas got through 5 (lmao)
• Barnes got through 2 (FIP is 2.29 through 7 innings now on the year)
• Yariel for 2 to finish it?

All our top guys will be available tomorrow

Well I do own Holmes in every fantasy league I have.

Former Top prospect who has dealt with tons of injuries but seemingly got healthy last year and showed that he might be ready for a breakout year.

In addition, we did tag him for some hard contact but none of it dropped. I think we had at least 8 balls with an xBA of .450 or higher that were outs
