What I want to know is how high did that Baez bat flip go ? That replay where they showed the ball and the bat both flying in the air at the same time was amazing ! Did Stat Cast track the bat too ?

I put this in another thread so I'll just copy and paste it here. I realize with Eloy hurt Mazara has to be out there but : Engel against RH's is way better than Mazara has been. You get his defense and speed too. Plus the chance to use the Rally Engel ! I really have no idea why Mazara is still playing. He has to be the worst OF in baseball with his current stats. His OPS+ is 57. Engel's is 115. Mazara has been 2019 Delmonico, Cordell and Charlie Tilson bad ! Mazara has even managed to make 2019 John Jay look cromulent. The fact that they are still using him at all is more mindboggling than throwing Rodon into the fire in his 1st appearance.

Does any other pitcher in baseball have hitters smacking the ball around the park on 99 MPH as much as Cease ?

I think at this point Madrigal should bat 2nd. Yeah he might hit into a weak DP but Anderson/Madrigal seems like a good way to kick start the sputtering engine. Maybe a little bit of hit and run offense. Then just drop everyone else a spot.

He used to post here Gregory . Long time Sox historian type guy . Has 4 decade long broadcasting career. Wrote a lot on the WSI site. Resume is pretty extensive in broadcast journalism. But known for being pretty jaded. Oh one more thing . He went to your High School. Brother Rice alumni.

That has a nice RING to it.

Be victorious, succeed , prevail, triumph, kick ass !

Those were rebuilding years. I'll take the A's and be watching here in So Cal while the rest of you struggle to stay awake. 😎

You can put a win on the board tonight . Yes !

I was thinking of your Rally Engel when he got pinch hit for last night. Bring it out today since he's starting.

You didn't think so when we got him but then again few did.

Eloy is our Cub killer too.

That was a good one !
