Trying to make the Phils trade for another BP arm lol

Gonzo's first AAA hit is a 107mph double down the RF line.

Casty much easier to run on thankfully

Smith and Vasil setting some high standards for future R5 guys

That's very annoying.

What is this call??

Always annoying when all your smoked liners get caught and then the opponent scores on a series of little seeing eye grounders.

Elko starting his rehab assignment at DH tonight

113.2, hardest hit ball in all of MLB today so far.

Kinda funny that the Rogers twins both move before any Minnesota Twins.

Some insights on Schultz, Wolkow, and Colson working through their struggles, ending with Montgomery's call up.

I feel like there’s been a similar rhythm to these last few series. They come into the opener confident, maybe catch teams sleeping a bit, battle and grab a win. The opponent punches back in game 2, they visibly lose confidence with every hit that doesn’t fall for them or does for the other team, and let bad calls/breaks set the momentum too easily. Then game 3 is about if and how they respond. It does feel like their win rate in openers is higher than on the season, which speaks well to their pre-series prep. But adjusting in-series if Plan A loses effectiveness, or even being able to distinguish between bad process that needs adjusting and just unlucky results they should push through, is something young guys will have to learn with experience.

Colson stat padding his defensive metrics at 3B with that inning

Wholesome story from Colson's dad.

Meanwhile, Dylan Cease still in odd year form: 4.2IP, 5ER, 5BB, 9K. Highest ERA since his rookie season, with a career worst 3-10 record. So curious to see where he ends up.
