5-1. Let's go Yermin

You really gotta wonder how Walsh hasn't played at least 1 of these first 2 games. I guess Maddon wanted to give Albert some PT just out of respect.

Professional hitter

He's like Tony Romo, but he's been doing this for way longer.

He might join Uggla and Altuve.

Vaughn looks more comfortable in LF than Madrigal does at 2B.

Vaughn's first putout

Yoan not looking so great against lefties.

All made possible by that walk by Robert.

Salami!

He had that on before the game too.

Yermin ayyyy

This team kind of goes based on how Tim goes. If he sets the table we usually score.

lol I'm pretty sure that was 110 MPH off the bat.

Fletcher striking out more than Luis Robert so far lol

Woah when did Keuchel start throwing out of the windup again?

TBF he's not at the park. On TV off the bat that looked like it was gonna be gone.

Yermin has actually played the outfield right? I wonder if he's better or worse than Vaughn.

Gotta give Upton credit for fouling off a bunch of good off-speed pitches. He actually looked really good today.

What's crazy is that they actually went out and signed Wong, who is pretty similar to Madrigal. So that trade definitely had some legs.

If only we can fuse Robert and Madrigal...

And it's not like his hit tool makes him all that valuable since he has almost no power potential. If he's gonna have value he's gonna need to be at least average on defense.

Why is it always that when we lose a close game, it's always because Madrigal fucks up some routine shit? If it's not him making an error on defense, it's him running into outs on the bases. For someone who was touted for his good sense of the game it's absolutely infuriating.

The cherry on top was that Trout and Rendon were coming up next.

Taking Giolito out was the right call. He was getting hammered and Trout was up next.
