Nasty pitch by Ruiz.

I feel for McCann. Dude is playing soooo much and his numbers are plummeting by the day.

Man Eloy has gotten rung up on some questionable strike calls lately.

@ron883 is having the last laugh now after the homer.

Yup. Btw, I can't wait till some Soxtalk posters complain about Robert always swinging at the first pitch.

Bingo. And he'll likely have a Robert/Madrigal meteoric rise at that.

I would like to have at least one guy who we don't have to extend after 2026.

I'm sure @fathom would say that was cheap.

Glad I was wrong!

Goins is more dangerous than Skole IMO. Probably works out better for the Phillies but we'll see.

I honestly believe it's more Reinsdorf's call regardless of how Hahn feels.

Ricky's managing is the ultimate tank weapon most other teams don't have.

Nope. maybe I'll start lower casing bomb when I type if it's cheap... maybe.

OT: but Robert hit an absolute bomb tonight.

Ok Robert hit a BOMB off a hanger. Hand/thumb looks fine.

Tank is going swimmingly.

Of course it was a catcher he steals with.

OT: Madrigal's old teammate @fathom's boy) Larnach just homered against the Barons.

Love Timmy's bat but I don't think his defense will ever be counted on as "contending" quality. I still recall him costing a couple of our pitchers no hitters (I believe Gonzalez had a perfect game actually) the past couple of years because of his errors. He is the type of guy most of us will hold our breaths on everytime a ball hits his way when the games start to matter. Robert and Madrigal will certainly help the defensive side but those guys still aren't enough.

Bingo. Little things like that create runs. It's one of my biggest gripes with Renteria.

Rutherford RBI single. Sheets just followed that up with a 2 run BOMB.

Harper stealing 3rd there.. Ricky would never allow that.

Gotta love Ricky micromanaging this inning!

Haha just hit a 2 RBI double and broke up the no no. My guy!

That kid Duran is perfect through 5 against the Barons... EDIT: He walked the 2 hitters in the 6th. Still a no no for now.
