Against a lefty too. Be interesting to see how he handles the inevitable adjustments. Last night's homer you could see they were trying to attack him outside and he still went oppo homer. Looks like nowhere in the zone is safe :lol.Quote:

I don't trust him in a playoff big game close.
Yeah, the pressure gets to him.Quote:

I definitely see winning the division in sight and that was not the case a month ago.
Destroyed the Mets tonight. Last year, I called them the next 2018 Red Sox. Their lineup build and offensive style is similar. Speed and don't strikeout (3rd best K ratio in the NL). Acuna basically Mookie Betts of the NL. If they shore up the pitching, Dodgers going to have an uphill battle.Quote:

Yes the low strikeouts is why signing Donaldson made sense since he doesn't strike out. There was worry his long ball approach would not mix with our lineup.
I see Braves/Dodgers only play 3 remaining games - in August.
Punk ass Machado only given one game.

Raise your weapon
1st Half: ROY, CY-Young and outside shot for NL MVP by Freeman/Acuna
And yet obvious holes. Farm system at the trading deadline to upgrade. Braves are a must see.
Swanson we haven't even discussed here.

Broken record here mid and Frosty but I've had it with the lack of fundamental strategy.
Behind by one or tied. Hell for that matter ahead by one.
Leadoff double, no outs. Or single then stolen base. However, whatever a man on 2b and no outs.
Fucking Think I'm All That batter and jellyfish manager go for the fail to move-the-runner-over at bat. If they just miss the pitch due to human error, fine they tried. I'm talking about Watch Me Jack A 5 Run Homer at bats. That end in a strikeout. Or pop up.
Same with pitchers.
Get good hitter 0-2. Often 2 outs.
Ahead by one run so only thing that can kill them is an HR.
Duurrrrrrurrrurrr do not throw a meatball. Throw a ball, or whatever you throw make it out of his zone.
Meatball, HR, tied game blown save or blown win.
Happens all the freaking time in modern day MLB.
What a terrible year for the Red Sox to shit the bed following a fucking 'ship.
With the Rays melting down like I knew they would and the Yankees being handicapped with injury, they would have had an open road to the WS.
Astros though is no joke but I think the Sox have their number.
Superfan!

I know what you mean. Sacrifices, hit & run and bunts seem to be rare these days. I always believed my NL would switch to the DH forcing this change to the game but I guess analytics did it instead.Quote:

Home runs are cheapened by the juiced balls and little league size stadiums where pop ups are routinely leaving the yard causing guys to swing for the fences leading to high Ks and walks.
