Just watched Trent Thornton mow down the Cubs for the M's in the top of the 9th in a 3-2 game. Having flashbacks. Touched 96 and stuff was good. J-Rod comes in to pinch run. Tying run in the 9th. Gets picked off 1B. Ouch. M's struggling.

You must have been watching “Narcos” last night on Netflix.

Thats the Big Nate we waited years to see. Touched 102. No clue where it was going but who cares!

No man...Berrios career ERA is 4.11 and FIP 4.04. Tracks the same over 1250 IP.

Remember the agonizing games in 2021 as we helplessly felt the blood slowly drain out of us on 4 run leads thanks to the Hands and Chatwoods etc etc etc Even without Romano and Swanson I just don't see them coming back against our pen with only 6 outs left. Stud start again by Berrios. FIP down to 3.67 and ERA 1.05

Turns out Vlad wasnt whispering to Clement about hitting after all. I think it must have been base running tips.

Glass half full glad to be up 3-0. Glass half empty with all our RHH vs a mutt like Freeland would love to see us generate more hard contact and runs. It can't always be JT.

Justin Turner wRC+ is 220 . Smoking hot 16 games into '24.

Last 2 starts including today is about the best I have seen Berrios pitch even with the Twins. Just seems locked, and so much better command vs LHH.

Yeah, his duck snort RBI made up for Vlad's GB at 116 becoming an out. BABIP!

Everyone? I said the Yanks would make big moves and be a lot better. I said same about BoSox but they were quieter than I thought. The Rays and O's are both solid. I still think the BoSox are a .500 ish team. Yanks were projected to Win 94 before they lost Cole. We are last in the D and our offence is 20th or lower in runs and most categories. 9% of the season is all thats been played. Yimi has been stud. Ride the hot hand. Green finding himself. Mayza last outing better. Richards solid. JT has a 202 wRC+. He is going to regress a long way down towards his projection, but still valuable. Berrios, Kooch and Hound all look on track now after their last start. Gausman is a concern. Yariel debut exceeded expectations. Biggio has a 150 wRC+. Ride that as long as it lasts. Davis making s*** happen every time he plays and running into walls. Romano & Swanson on their way back. They don't look great yet but building up still. Jano is coming back. Varsho has hit HRs in back to back games. Favorite target IFK hasn't been the problem. He is playing plus D and he has a 145 wRC+ which is about twice his career number. The regression down towards career 82 won't near as fun. All said and done he will be 1-2 WAR player on his 2/15. We are right back to where we started. Which is an issue. As Vlad, Bo, Springer, Kirk go, so we go. So far, they haven't. Time will tell.

Don’t you mean sweet baby Jesus ?

Irrelevant. No need to even try the RF arm with 2 out.

f*** of Vlad. 2 out. Dumb ass 3rd out ‘ 3B.

Remember Turk Wendell brushing his teeth between innings and leaping over the foul line? Lol Nutcase.

Edwin from “E5” and DFA to over 400 career home runs. There is a case for him to be on the Level of Excellence.

Double his career. Enjoy it while it lasts bro.

His wRC+ is 150. You could not ask for a hotter start from him.

We are lucky A. The Rockies are dumb B. IKF has quick self preservation reflexes

He was negative 1.3 WAR in '23. The first season of a 7/182. Shoot me.

What a tonic Yariel was today for us. Nice applause from fans. Inject that right into my veins. Now lets close the W out !!

Omar Coming Yo!

5/32. Hope so. No idea yet but stuff looks good. Looking forward to seeing him pitch to some heavy line ups. But any team in the bigs can crush you if you dont make the pitches (witness last night) so I'm thrilled so far.

You hangy he bangy

Many remember Livan and Orlando Hernandez from Cuba? Brothers who threw the kitchen sink. Yariel has more V but he has a bit of a similar diverse arsenal.
