But yeah. He was overused early this year, which probably lead to his tendinitis, and then the flu bug swept the clubhouse – it’s just been a rough season for him physically.

Didn't see anyone post B-Macs line of the night in the GDT.

He went 4.2 IP (73 pitches thrown) with 4 hits and a walk allowed. 1 HR given up. 5 Ks. 6:3 GO/FO ratio.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Yeah

Someone will probably be hurt between now and then and land on the 60 day d.l. Or maybe they’ll cut bait with Arias. Or maybe Mad Max will come up, meaning Richardson loses his 40 man spot.

Hopefully they wait until his average drops below .500

Considering that he played over 50 games at 1b in the minors, he is a better option on the team than Hank right now

I think they let him go back-to-back

because he only threw 10 pitches yesterday. And given any excuse, Wash will use his Closer because that his Role.

just got home from the game,

in the third my buddy asked me what song I would come out pitch to, and I said the theme from “punch-out”
I didn’t go to the game on Saturday and didn’t see Feliz in his first home game

When Happy came out to pitch they played it and I went nuts!! He asked what was up and I mentioned what song it was and he couldn’t believe it. I’m gonna listen to that song at work all day tomorrow

wife and I sat in section 37 tonight. Frankie looked great. Tommy Hunter is a gutsy guy. Who ever said Byrd is fat, needs glasses. yeah he carries his weight in his but and thighs but that is where his power comes from also. Same with Hunter and Jennings, same body style. Keith Richardson is a pretty large individual also. He is also hitting .500 in his first game as a big leaguer with the Rangers. I thought he looked pretty good for just being called up and plugged in. Hunter struggled but gutted it out and O’Day was awful. CJ and Frankie Frank did the job. Jennings the one out we needed. Lots of offense tonight.
