It'd be nice to see something resembling power from Nicky sometime soon.

It really is amazing the disparity between our current infield vs the outfield...but the minors system is just loaded with stud outfielders. Just a little disappointing that our center fielder likely won't make the debut until 2020. 

Pham probably had a decent exit velocity on that one.

I love Pham.

Last year of Shields thank goodness.

Salvador Perez is going to f***ing hate Tommy Pham

I wonder how Yadier feels about him, as he is also a heralded member of the fun police.

Great at bat there from Engel. 11 pitch ab

Engel did a good thing

Shields actually has a decent swing

Why are Palka and Leury sitting against a RHP?

Thompson's had success against Wacha with the Dodgers?

Was the unwritten rule book put together in Missouri or what?

Shields looking a lot better since the Pham-dong.

 

Also...

Kopech had two BB’s tonight according to MILB.com.

Yoan hitting .280 if ruled safe.

That does seem odd they overturned that one so quickly.

Horrible overturn

That is horseshit. I was hoping Moncada at least got a break getting a hit without having to scorch the ball.

geezus.  what's the point of replay if you can't get it right...goddamn. ridiculous

I guess technically the runner has to beat the throw and that was a tie

Guess we'll have to wait until 2020 or 2021 to start getting some of those calls...

Think fathom put it best. If this was the steroid era, he'd be a monster. Dude just has warning track power. 

Yep has hit a ton of deep fly balls. Not sure he will ever hit for enough power to make up for his defensive ineptitude

Why wouldn't the tie go to the baserunner?

No, the runner’s foot has to hit the base before the ball hits the glove. Moncada was safe, but it is what it is.

it does...and there was nothing there to overturn the call.  that's why it was horseshit....
