Not his best, but gets through 6IP.

Last inning for Wells.

So, other than the HRs allowed tonight Wells is pitching a heckuva game.

Santander wants in on the fun.

Come on, Mountcastle, a freakin double??? I was betting on another HR. What a bum.

Come on, it’s early, plenty of time to hate on him later.

I said he was about to put together a big game. Give him a few more ABs.

Well….

RM about to put together a big game.

What were we talking about?

Old guys know stuff.

Pretty manageable pitch count for Wells despite the walks.

Great play by Henderson.

Isn’t he always?

This team puts ups runs.

The real Yarborough shows up.

New ballgame

Hey Brown, there’s probably a reason I’ve never heard a baseball announcer say the words,” He throws like a soft tossing cyborg.” Wtf

Wells made an adjustment after that bad first inning, pretty good recovery.

You’re welcome for the reverse jinx.

But I was dragged in another thread for suggesting he should be given some time off.

Number six is a heartbeat away.

Is Yarborough this good?

That’s a good point. But I’m not impatient. I’ve played at a high level, scouted and coached. So, evaluation has been something I’ve been doing for a while. Santander was a guy I thought would be a contributor early on, even as a Rule 5 guy. He was very athletic and I liked his swing. Defensively he was in the running for a GG, but he hasn’t looked the same to me. Injuries are another consideration with Santander. I think they should be looking for an exit strategy from him with the glut of OF talent they have. He’s arbitration eligible next year, so he’ll only become more expensive as he declines.

I don’t understand why Santander is in the lineup let alone hitting 4th.
