Yeah, same thing here. I don’t go to too many Mud Hen games, certainly not as many as I would like to. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen his brick there. I was at Opening Day this season and didn’t think about it until we were inside.

Ballpark Ballpark!

Someone should make TV show about it.

They’re still kids. They’re going to struggle at times. BABIP still unkind to Torkelson. BB% is down significantly this season and SO% is up. Seems to be hitting up the middle way more than last season. Hard hit rate is up. Glove has been absolutely necessary at 1B. I’m probably wrong on this, but my completely unqualified eye says he leads the league in DRS on throws to 1B that are scooped. I’m surprised to see how much Greene has been pulling the ball. It seems like he’s gone to LF quite often this season. I’m probably just more sensitive to picking up on LHHs going to LF now with the shift rules that are in place. Trying to decipher whether they’d have been hits last season maybe? I don’t know.

Somebody forgot to tell Sacramento that they were supposed to roll over and play dead for Golden State.

Haha, it helps to put guys in positions which are optimal to their skill sets. I still hate reliever roulette, but the bullpen deserves their credit today. And Cabrera hit a ball that, had the infield been playing normally, could have just been a regular ground out. But again, credit to him for getting the ball where it needed to go. He was down 0-2 or 1-2 in the count. I don’t know if he choked up with 2 strikes or if he shortened his swing, or if he just focused on contact. Whatever, it worked tonight.

Seriously, good for Cabrera, good for the team, good for the bullpen, good for Baez. A lot of guys needed to show a little bit of something and it seems like the kind of game where everyone contributed. Sure, Lorenzen was shaky, but as was mentioned before, this was kind of a rehab start for him.

3 in a row now, and chipping back from a decent deficit in this game. It’s got to be such a completely different clubhouse atmosphere than it was just a few days ago.

Yup. Over the course of a season, it ain’t likely to look good. Any given plate appearance, though, can be a magical moment of past glory coming back as a reminder.

It’s just like starting quarterbacks. If you got two, you got none.

It’s exactly the defense that I am hoping can improve angle.

I honestly never really thought of the racial composition of the team until it was brought up.

What a fun ending. Good for him, good for the team. Man, I hope we get to see the Singuel walk off strut a few more times.

I mowed before the game. I’ll be honest, I did pull the iPad out to get some landscaping ideas during the earlier innings.

Anybody that gets to 100 has some pretty good fortunate health on their side. But let’s be honest, while Jackie was the focal point of the abuse of what needed to be accomplished, no doubt Rachel had to have taken her share of abuse as well. One would think all of that would have had to have taken a physical toll on anyone. I think it just goes to show what a strong woman she is. My goodness, 101 years old with all that she had to endure in life? Amazing.

Should’of kept a Castro.

I like the idea of playing him everyday. That's probably going to have to be in Toledo this season. Let the Tigers mix & match the hot corner with the older players already on the 40 unless they all completely flop. Maybe Malloy gets a September call up to check out the taller buildings & better per diem and grab a few PAs as a preview for 2024.

Its a pity that Leyland couldn't have guided that team, because his headshot (with shades and a heater) would really complete that gravestone.

OK everybody, let Lee have his funny when the opportunity presents itself.

13 game streak, eh Tampa? Aight...., hold my Detroit's beer.

I hate that unwritten rule. If its a meatball, swing for the downs.

I thought I heard howling from a deep distance to the north last evening.
