I didn't really like the steal, but we'll take it.

I didn't either, and then I saw what it created. I think that's the kind of thing Tont LaRussa is going to bring to this team...the kind of thing other managers wouldnt bring

Robert 1

Angels 0

Don’t get me banned Ron or Ragah Ragah assumes gamethread duties for the upcoming 10 game win streak!

We better win tonight, or else he is going to show you the correct way to make a gamethread

Hopefully that takes a little pressure off too....I was second guessing the steal as well....but that shit was fun

Robert is an absolute game changer. 

Six Tools!!!

Now all he needs to do is rob a homer and make an acrobat Matrix-like move getting back to the bag on his next stolen base attempt.

Giolito looks awesome coming out of the gate, following up his Spring Training run of success.

There is potential for Yoan and Robert to combine for 14 WAR.

Could definitely happen if both are healthy and going right.

Yep can’t believe so many dumb fucks doubted him 

Who doubted roberts skills?

Between him and Yoan, I’ve come to accept they will be in pain after every slide

There’s just no way he doesn’t get hurt if he does that 50 times. I don’t know if there’s a way to change a technique there but that really didn’t look good.

That changeup is not fair.

Lol was going to say, who doubted the skills?

Nobody. Apparently we are all dumb for think a young player may need time to grow and adjust, lol.

Your second guessing was correct.  I think Stone was just in the process of saying you don’t want to make the third out at third, and you don’t.   It worked out ok this time, but in general, you don’t try the steal in that situation.  

It's also going to be really fun to see TLR use Hamilton for a week or two like Terrence Gore/Dyson with the Royals in the late innings...like an automatic double or triple to get into scoring position.

Change up down the middle and Rendon is frozen on strike 2.

If it happens it would ecclipse the position player total from a lot of years from 2010-2019.  lol.

Nah, no rules there. Go crazy.

I do really miss the NUKE_CLEVELAND style, though...

Good slider for 1st pitch there

This is maybe the best Gio has ever looked.  He's going to get 350 million at this rate, easy.

Happy Opening Day guys!

Isn’t Luis Robert exciting? I’m curious to see how he looks after 162 games played in the bigs.

Up the middle guys who are plus defensively and are power/steal threats are always the best players in the sport. 

Nice to see all these sliders against Upton

You're right about that Jason.  People in the park background noise is nice.

Engel sure would look good out in center field

Katz helping Gio get to another level?  Impressive stuff so far.

Upton is about to see a change.
