I'd rather hear DJ on this broadcast by himself than Len+Jason

Bad chase there Yermin. 

Yermin swinging like he's Javy Baez.

Please no pinch running Hamilton move.

Vaughn double into the corner.  He’s gonna get that 1st home real soon. 

Vaughn might have a 400obp by the ASB

Agreed.

Ok, Vaughn is getting his first this inning. (And I’ve never predicted this before)

He came real close

Leury knocks in Vaughn!  

Leury! Nice 2 out run.

I love two out runs

I did that for three decades with Hawk.

Len isn't the problem.

team has responded to the injuries I gotta say, also let Mendick get more ABs plz

Man if Leury can just hit his career averages it'd be huge. He was a pitcher posing as a position player in April.

btw if anybody wished this site had a dark mode theme for mobile, the Opera browser is great

It's only a matter of time before Vaughn hits that first career homer. He's come close several times now. Looking real sharp at he plate.

Less than half the homers we had last year through 31 games. We gotta start hitting for power soon. I don't know if our walk rate and BABIP are sustainable.

We don’t have Nomar this year.

Gio done.  Good move. 

 

lucas looks bad, needs to get fixed. Very lucky/fortunate for the stat line today

 

really amazing what this team is doing given the injuries and shithole of a manager to deal with.

 

really being carried by kopech/rodon/cease doing amazing things.

Run differential is insanely impressive.

I don't expect Jose to duplicate last year (162 RBI pace), but he should hit his normal 30/100 numbers. Hoping Yoan can bump up the power during the year and approach his 25 HRs in 2019. Vaughn still young, but his doubles will start turning to HRs over the next few years.

Robert and Eloy still very young, their power will only grow over time as well.

How much impact does April vs August and the deadened ball have on that?
