The wind seems pretty extreme, yikes. And yes, I still think he should've been kept in.

Good, pulling him with 82 pitches with 1 on and 1 out would've been dumb.

Way too early but if he's still mowing these guys down into the 7th, the scorer ought to look into temporarily changing Molina's hit to just an E5.

If he were a starter, sure, but I'll take his offensive production and on base skills from a backup catcher. Defense needs work though

He is, but there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the frame on that pitch

Looks like we got a classic, 10 pitch per inning duel

Struck him out twice

How was that a ball?

Giolito looks very sharp today. Even the hit and HBP were pretty cheap

If this is the real Moncada, then the Sale trade is already won. Kopech and Basabe could completely bust and it wouldn't make a difference. 6 years of a top 20 player in baseball, who plays every day, is already much more valuable than 3 years of a dominant starting pitcher.

Good tank win. Moncada had a 2 (really 3) hit game so I'll take it

Because Adam Engel MUST play every day!

Probably a lot more than what they devote to us,

Just for potential bragging purposes, or for me to be exposed in the future, I think Bohm has star potential and Madrigal won't amount to anything

I'm pretty sure it's not. I remember finding a bunch of convicted felons' info on some website when I was in high school, and many of them lived right by the school and nearby parks. I asked my law teacher about it and she told me that would be against the law. How these purchases are allowed is beyond me

If you think he's not a good shortstop, just wait until you see how that would work out...

Hopefully they become more exciting soon with the promotion of a certain outfielder

I know, I'm saying they were wrong. He wasn't eligible because he only had 4 years of service in the states. You need 5 in order to be eligible

He was exposed because he didn’t need to be protected

How?

So Matt Rose might be something...

But other opponents celebrate after singles and do all this every game against us, and they have for years. You're not getting that there's a difference between standard celebration and targeting opponents.

Welcome. While I understand/respect your point, Anderson was literally a basketball player his whole life until late in high school. So when Lillian wrote, "that's what happens when you sign a basketball player", it applies literally, in this context, as he has spent more years as a basketball player in his life than he has as a baseball player.
