Jose Abreu

Garcia's HR swing in slo-mo

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) Division wins are very important. Solid game today came back and got Sale the game today. Hope they can get Quintana the win tomorrow. Nice effort today. Good ABs all around. I hope they move AJax to lead off me too

Wonderful games from Albers, Abreu, Jackson, and a crucial AB from Melky.

Making the lineup: Jackson Eaton Abreu Frazier Cabrera Garcia Lawrie Rollins///Navarro Avila///Rollins Why? Well, I think Jackson has looked great so far, especially today in the leadoff spot. He has a great approach, and if today's game was played under normal weather conditions, Jackson would easily have 2-3 home runs. Moving Eaton to second gives us a .290-.300 hitter with a high OBP and some decent pop (14 HRs in 2015) in the #2 spot. They both get on base well, which would provide for more RBI opportunities for Abreu/Frazier, in theory. I'm willing to bet that Jackson finishes 2016 with a higher OBP than Rollins, so Rollins in the 2 spot makes the 1-2 collective OBP worse than what it would be with Jackson batting there, and moving Rollins down could end up being beneficial in its own way. Bottom line, it would give Abreu and Frazier more RBI opportunities. Thoughts?

Albers pitching so well

Jackson cannot catch a break today. If this game is in June, he may have 3 home runs.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Albers wasn't throwing 94 last year was he? No, he was not, possibly due to his finger injury though

Love the huge "rips through ivy" sign behind Shuck. Let's take it to Wrigley.

Dugout equally fired up lmao

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) Matt Albers is a straight up G. I can't believe no one else offered him anything. Was very happy to see him back. The Mets did, IIRC

Albers fired up

Matt Albers is the new Nate Jones

Way to go Albers.

Zach Duke saying Drake's departure hurt his soul Oakland fans heckling Duke over Drake (Duke himself retweeted it)

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) Zach Downs. I'm as upset with Duke as the rest of you, but come on, Scott Downs was even worse. He wouldn't have allowed a single there, he probably would've allowed a homer

Looks like Duke is still upset about Drake LaRoche.

I'm still very impressed with Melky for battling so hard in that AB. Garcia's HR was great, but I think Melky's AB deserves some credit too

I love Jason Benetti.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) Same reason all thoes CTAA buses used to advertise Montana, you want people to visit you advertise in non-local markets. You dont see all the ads for Illinois and Chicago tourism in Chicago, do you? (be glad you dont they're not very good). I understand why it's not an Illinois ad, but I just find South Dakota to be... random, I guess

Bryan Shaw entered with a 0.00 ERA and left with a 27.00 ERA

Jackson, Rollins, Cabrera, Garcia really came through that inning. Who would've thought? (Aside from Jackson)

AVI GARCIA IS A GOOD HITTER

Why is USCF adverting "travelsouthdakota.com"?

That's one hell of an AB.
