Most obvious explanation for Antonacci being called up today instead of yesterday was the desire to not give him his first MLB at bats against a left-handed starter.

Noah even seems wound up in the postgame interview.

Watchability of the team is going to be a good bit better when he's back.

Some useful graphics on Edgar: vs. last season: Existing issue with whiffing on high pitches has gotten worse. More important, last year he mitigated it by not chasing pitches up and out of the zone. This year he is chasing them way too often and getting no benefit (i.e., he's not a guy who sometimes tomahawks a bomb on a high ball)

Send Mune down!!!

His whole approach was geared towards late decisions last season and it kinda-sorta worked. Took slow, short swings and let the ball get very deep, with a very extreme push bat angle. Very similar to Luis Arraez. This year it's not way different but he's hitting it more out front, not as push oriented, swinging the bat slightly faster, and paying a big price by having worse plate discipline and missing more often.

Driveline broke Edgar

More loud contact from Pereira

Mune hit that pretty well, just a smidge underneath it.

Scored a base hit because the ball was absolutely murdered so it's not really a routine play. My guess is the Statcast modeling on that play won't hit him very hard either.

He had to lunge to catch it because it wasn't thrown to the spot so he gave up on it

I don't think the most ordinary baseball game ever played will be what triggers a fan walkout

Kyle Lodise has been trying a very strange strategy as a pro: the hitter who never gets any hits

Trying to get a little too much out of Sims

There's a bullshit run right there

Not a bad outing overall for Noah. Would probably be in line for the win if he just made a better fielding decision in the first. I assume he'll get his slider under control before his next start. Seems like the stuff plays.

Edgar would have stolen that without the drop if he hadn't rolled over instead of sliding lol

Braden Montgomery is 3 for 3 with 2 2B tonight. We have an opening in LF, come and take it buddy!

Everson is a guy who you can tell knows he's playing for his whole career for better and for worse

Everson my goat

Never seen this happen before.

Vargas with the best hit ball of the game but no dice

Can confirm from Statcast player tracking that Tanner ran in on that ball. Ball was well-struck but that's one that is usually caught unless it's in the corner or the gap.

Looks like a misplay by Tanner.

Ball hasn't found Vilade's barrel yet but he's 2 for 2. Baseball!
