Nice to see TA with a 3-for-4 day and a big 3 run HR. Plate discipline still leaves something to be desired but his fielding and hitting in general have both displayed dramatic improvement. Not that it’s news to anyone here but it really can’t be said or appreciated enough IMO

Total bases / ABs total bases are singles + (doubles*2) + (triples*3) + (home runs*4)

Outstanding game for Giolito! 8K, 7 IP, 1ER and totally smooth sailing since the first inning jam. McCann called a hell of a game- bringing in breaking stuff early saved the day.

I would put in Bummer but wouldn’t shock me if our fearless leader put in Fry

Can’t complain about Nova today. Good to see him string two quality starts together in a row

How is McCann not DHing at this point over Alonso on days he is not catching? How is Castillo getting two straight days of playing time over McCann under any circumstance?

Lol Colome may not have thrown a ball in the strike zone that entire first AB. Good strikeout

Love seeing TA walk. Patience is the big adjustment he needs to make to become a star (sustainably)

James McCann again and again lol

Because the lineup’s all lefties

Not gonna lie, Tilson’s tiny sample size of successful play these last two games has me irrationally excited. Just seems like he knows how to play. Given our luck I’m sure something terrible will happen however.

Radio was right about that one. Terrible call

For all of yoan’s improvements in the hitting department... he has a long way to go in the baserunning department

Why was McCann doing push-ups in the dugout?

Great at bat by McCann. Saw 12 pitches and flew out at the warning track- just missed second HR

Terrible strike call on Yolmer there to end the inning

McCann seems pretty good. Zach Collins on the phone probably thinking “damn it, I want that roster spot”

Fulmer to Cooper: “see, I told you: that’s what happens when I throw strikes!”

Marcus Semien? Maybe Narvaez but that’s a bit generous. Agreed that there isn’t a ton of this phenomenon yet

Abreu gets in on the action! Are we trying to set some records tonight?

Good to see Fulmer throwing a new wrinkle into the equation: they can’t hit you if you don’t throw them strikes!

Banuelos has been our best starter this year. A 1-2-3 first inning is such a breath of fresh air! He’s actually a pretty solid pitcher as long as he can locate his breaking stuff.

Sigh. Game after game we love giving away first inning runs

Impressive play by TA to end the inning. He’s just unbelievable this year.

Ugh Abreu hit would be asking for too much there. Would feel so good to steal this game! TA comes through again. He is playing out of his mind right now.
