Jimenez bothered a bit by his hand after that super-violent swing.
Btw, did anyone see why/how Bryce Harper went out of the game today?
EE left-shoulder "tightness." Day-to-day.
Wheeler has averaged 96.7 on fastball. Caught first couple of innings, he got touched up (bad Segura defense) but recovered to get his second win.
Yankees' lineup without Sanchez, Urshela and Stanton in Game 1. Already setting up roster for post-season/Twins.
Big shift from pre-season. The NL Central looked like it was going to be a huge challenge to get two teams out of that division, with 4 competitors and one garbage franchise.
That said, their starting rotation has weaknesses and Wick as the closer might not have much of a shelf life.
Robert was looking back, average lead, not a very good jump and barely got thrown out.
Missed hit and run???
Or was just looking back towards the plate out of habit?
Someone's going to have to talk to him about that.
Guarantee they did that without seeing a single workout video or highlights from CUBA. The reported times to 1B and power displays in BP were the first two glimpses everyone had, and the sound of the ball off the bat like a gunshot.
Sounds like a quote that could be equally applied to Tatis, Jr. White Sox in just five years are responsible for the two best young players in baseball. You can certainly add Bellinger and Acuna to that grouping, of course.
