Not sure they could have turned it had he gone on contact to 3rd, but yea hard to read that play.

Bad baserunning, come on. First with Mune than with Vargas. Can't afford these mistakes.

Stone really thinks 1B is more difficult than 3B? Is he taking the piss?

Come on, more bad OF defense.

There was a chopper last night and he let the ball play him TA style but he instantly reacted and fired a strike to first. Style wise just reminded me of uribe even tho totally different body types -- same soft hands tho. Whereas a SS like TA was always fighting something mechanics wise more naturally instinctual players don't even need perfect mechanics.

He is a unicorn. There's never been a SS in MLB history with his batting profile, at least so far. I mean who is the last MLB SS to be on pace for 40+ HR, 6 WAR, while hitting 230? It's probably never happened. Part of it is environment but part of it is just Colson is insane.

I mean the other side of that is that he's targeting guys with obvious flaws their original team already ID'd and decided to pass on. I don't see much of a player in Acuna, and for all the talk of Vargas' swing change it was really adding 12 good lbs of muscle the last two offseasons that took him from a marginal to solid starter.

How much longer can they keep trotting Acuna out there? 25 wRC+ and -.4 fWAR. I'd hope his leash isn't too much longer. Try anybody else.

yea he was garbage after that easy first inning. He tired and you can see why he wasn't a big priority in MLB I guess. Just a mop up swing guy realy.

lol wtf are we doing?

oh yea, core of lineup looking pretty good.

my god carbon copy of last night's.

BOOM

colson reminds me of uribe at SS. different sizes, same effective reflexes and arm. like that isn't exactly taught technique but their reflexes are so good who cares if they half square up a chopper.

i had the kiss of death for kay, jfc

out of challenge of course

my god flick of the wrist almost hit it out.

BOOM WAR OF THE VARGAS

wtf are you doing quero?

awful

well f***.

leadoff walk never works.

he's the best we've had every night at 1B since Konerko, easily. D-Backs play by play guy with a hawk homage there, very pleasant broadcast compared to our idiot john.

Great play all around! Now that's how you erase a bad play.

fucking jogging and then can't find the ball. GO GET THE FUCKING BALL IN RF
