692 home runs sitting on the bench but sure, AJ Reed is good enough to hit for himself in that situation.

I'm just keeping up on gameday but Colome is going away, away, away away. Redick and Reed both pulled outside away pitches on the ground to first.

It was noticeable the difference in the quality of at bats between altuve, Bergman, and yuli compared to the garbage at the bottom. Each of those top 3 guys made swings to put balls in play based on where they were pitched.

Big disappointment lately has been Marwin. Dudes body language makes him look annoyed and uninterested.

We have no advantage at home because we accommodate our opponents' strength by pitching to it. The two balls Souza hit hard were inside. Why? He tattooed the first one to the Crawford boxes. Why get a second in the same spot?

Just stupid. It's like our pitchers don't know the dimensions of our own park. Meanwhile, the other team's staff knows exactly how to pitch in this park. You pitch away to pull happy hitters and we oblige by rolling over weakly on balls. Just stupid. The approach is so contrasting from road to home it's ridiculous.
