Santander sitting.

Will the bats stay hot today?  Will the pitching hold up again?  The suspense of a team positioning for the #1 draft pick, but hoping to see a little progress in the re-build.

[SteveA]

Worse case scenario we get one out here, right?  I mean, we tagged the runner off third.

[SteveA]

Well damn, it's probably throat fair ruling.  But I've never seen so much awarded to a team when the defensive team was not guilty of interference or something.  Wow.

Harvey looking great so far (my eyes are rolling)

We got a font for that.

We really need pitching, 3B, SS, 2B, and C around here.

How long is Leyba gonna be on this team?

Other than that not many holes.

I mean the outfielders could be healthier...

Yup! Me as well. Hopefully he'll be gone at the end of next year.
