I’ve been blown away by Robert’s hit tool over the last year

AJ-Two-Strikes

Nicely done Burger!

He brings a lot of weak contact

Slow gun, right?

Grandal is too jumpy back there also

Not even close for Giolito

Good thing he’s batting 6th

First time I’ve ever seen Grandal go 1st to 3rd on a single

Scoreboard is way too small on the screen

Barnhart’s framing is fantastic

Why, it was a strike.

Tigers lineup much, much better than last year.

Beer with a walk-off homer on National Beer Day. Padres really should have gone after Kimbrel.

And then the next guy missed a homer foul by five feet. They were probably 15 total feet from five in a row.

That was an incredible 20 minutes of television

They’re going to miss Avi

I thought Madrigal was the 4th best player on that team when I watched them

That Yelich contract is on the verge of being a total albatross

No, the three injuries recently and those teams adding players closed the talent gap. Sox should still win the division but this isn’t last year where there was no competition at all

I will never understand how the umpires fall for the obvious, exaggerated frame job by Contreras.

Especially with Burger up

Where it’s going to really hurt is facing tough RHP. The lineup now gets even more right-handed, and I don’t think Burger has a prayer against righty sliders.

Nope but there’s no doubt in my mind he could put up a better slugging. I’ll be honest, I’d rather see Burger face LHP than Yoan.

I’m more concerned about it hurting when he swings. He’s not exactly a player that heals from something and we never see or hear about it again.
