Autumn Dreamin

FYI on Antonacci's HR: I guess it's different from a fan interference situation because the ball guy is authorized to be on the field. And the attempt for the ball was bad enough that they ruled it unintentional? Maybe didn't help that the fielder kind of moved to play it eventually instead of holding his hands up like you might see for a stuck ball. Sam did get the ball, apparently shortly after Bob smashed his phone camera with it:

Mune and Colson say they have a dugout HR celebration in the works and coming soon.

Thanks for eating a couple garbage innings, Bido. Fully expect a fresh arm recalled tomorrow though.

Honestly a nice play by McCann there lol Friendly reminder that there's no batter challenges vs. position players

Pulled ground ball just fair down the LF line, ball guy thought it was foul and tried to grab it. Left fielder assumed it was dead and didn't try to play it. Sam just kept running.

Hahahaha what a way to get your first HR

Ball guy trying to stop this wagon just like the HP ump

Huh? I don't see how that's comparable. The Wilson inclusion was always to flip him eventually, no?

David Keller was scouting Murakami (and Okamoto IIRC) back with the Mets in addition to his trip for the Sox last year. NY was also connected to him in the offseason, but ended up paying more for Polanco to try to convert him to 1B instead. One assumes money wasn't the problem, so I wonder if they just didn't like the profile. Or maybe Mune just turned them down.

Does Pereira go on the Cease trade tree since they got him and Murray for Steven Wilson + a waiver claim?

WOW PEREIRA

Mune flashing the leather at 1B tonight

Japanese call of the B2B2B

Nice catch Pereira! Solid 6 from Burke.

One away from having 10 HR before his first double lol

Can we add this one to tonight's total?

Would have been out in 5/30, Ant's triple goes out in 19/30 (including at home)

Beni up to .316 batting leadoff now. Maybe the Mune protection is getting him better pitches to hit? I don't know why it works, but until it stops working...

AZ was off yesterday so their pen should be fresh. Might have been Kelly's last inning there unless they want him to wear it.

Maybe Mune had the scouting report 👀

This will play

First one of these I've laughed at in a while

We might just be a warm weather offense

hahahaha he's so awesome
