Not always it was a miserebale April to mid May

I feel that I grew up in N. MI, mom still lives there.  I talk to her about once a week and the lilacs aren't even blooming yet.  They had a snow storm the 2nd week of april.  It was in the 50s just last week.

Glad to see it's finally warming up there.

And...that is why a high leg kick rarely works at the MLB level.

Players with a higher xwOBA than Jose Abreu in 2018:

 

Mookie Betts

Freddie Freeman

Mike Trout

Bryce Harper

J.D. Martinez

Brandon Belt

Kris Bryant

Anderson got to strike out twice there...

I have no idea what TA's plan is with 2 strikes.  Whatever it is, it sucks.

Cease looks like he's put on some good weight this year.  Thicc.

I feel like I need to hire someone to program an AI listening bot and set it up to record Jason talking.  When it concludes that Jason spends 10% of his actual time calling the game in front him I'll send the results to the Sox.

Yep was late on fastball and gave up on curve 

Hey, competent OF defense!

That's exactly what I'm saying.  He appears to have gone from 100% a guess hitter to NEVER GUESSING.

The time to guess is with two strikes dude.  Sit fastball, adjust to offspeed if you can.  That's hitting 101.

Engel continuing his chase of Mike Trout, now hitting a gentleman's .212

 

Also I hate bunts

STOP BUNTING

Horrible idea to bunt with no speed at 2nd. Get a freaking clue Ricky

double steal.

He’s talked about baseball this entire half inning

 

 

Nice at bats by the Charlotte outfield

I like that we are now the best team in baseball

Trayce with a nice piece of hitting.

Wow, you will not see two better pitches to hit.

That was an absolutely SHIT at bat.  God damn.  

Fiers lucky Moncada didn't kill one that at bat

He's fouling off so many fastball down the plate to the left side. Timing has been off since the injury.

I keep saying it but he's making way too much weak contact on fastball middle out.  he should have put the 1st pitch into the bleachers in RF.
