Yeah I don’t get that with the clear control issues after the Arozarena hit

I'll come back and check in on this one later, cuz yeesh.

Dude what is going on here

Got a hanger and missed it for strike 3. Way too big of a swing.

Schwarber signed for 5/150 at 33. That's probably the floor for Murakami. He's gonna want more years or higher AAV than that, or both.

Easy

Yeah that was Martin's last inning. He was getting hit hard. Hell of a start.

THIS is the best pitcher in the AL?!

Dang. Oh well. Go take 2 of 3 from the Angels now.

A strikeout is better

👍

Psh. Easy.

Dominguez isn’t ready yet

Taylor just cannot pitch in consecutive innings

Yeah I edited my comment. If he came up cleanly it’d be really close. I don’t think he had a shot though after the replay

Sheets had a shot at home there… actually never mind he didnt. Good bunt

I wanted to keep him because we weren't going to get anything valuable for him at this point. That ship had sailed. I'd rather bet on him being a somewhat valuable player than whatever we'd get.

Well at least they got one

Yeah it was a great pitch but try to spoil it.

Man especially with challenges you have to protect. Hitters need to learn that.

I don't think you need to trade Vargas any time soon, but as these other players move up through the minors he may end up the odd man out. I don't think he has the sustained 5+ WAR potential the rest of these guys have.

I think he's gone up. He's been worth 1 bWAR/.9 fWAR so far, which would be a 4.5 - 5 WAR pace if he keeps this up. His advanced hitting metrics are all really good, and his eye has improved. Given his age and mediocre defense he's probably a guy they should move, with Carlson, Bonemer and Roch on the way.

Psh can't even hit more homers than singles.

Good lord.
