We were a base hit away from being on top of the standings. Ugh. This team will find its way eventually but it has been a rough start and nobody is playing at the top of their game outside of Mercedes and Kopech.

It is a big disadvantage to the home team.

Marshall and Foster blow chunks. Kopech and Crochet need to be the later innings guys ahead of Hendricks.

Nick Williams should be the one to get a shot.

Nick Williams come on up.

RIP Billy Hamilton

glanced his batting glove

Can Yermin play 2B?

I'm just tuning in. Has Madrigal screwed up yet today?

I have not seen Mercedes swing at anything outside of the zone.

Bellinger hurt now too lol

He only pitches from the stretch now and must have tuned his delivery.

Vaughn doesn't look lost. He just looks a little off.

I think Maggs broke out a little earlier and never got pushed out of affiliated baseball altogether at one point. Yermin is quite the story if he continues to hit. He looks as locked in as anybody! Luke Voit might be a good comparison as someone who always hit but never got any hype or look because they were a lumbering 1B / DH type of player.

Yermin is a machine

I like that. For 2021 I think Kopech could be a crucial part of the bullpen if used correctly.

Different guns and the one in Anaheim seemed a little hot.

You learn something new every day I guess!

So send him down now to build up his arm because you assume Cease will fail?

They had a 6 run lead when he entered so that is out the window.

Who leaves the rotation assuming Cease performs well enough for 5th starter role? Kopech could be even more useful in the bullpen IMO if used properly, which so far I don't know if TLR is capable of.

With the positives the past 2 innings, I almost forgot about how much I hate Madrigal.

Eloy 100% would have pancaked into Robert and caused them both to miss 4-5 months.

I thought he may have had to dive on that one off the bat. Good read!

You are up by 6 runs. Protect Rodon and bring in someone else. This is stupid.
