This game will be over in time for me to go out on a Saturday night. Didn't expect that after a rain delay.

Thank you John Means.

Please don’t jinx this.

If De La Cruz was the god-walking-amongst-men they make him out to be, he should have come flying over from shortstop to catch that pop foul from Cedric.

Gunnar would have caught it then doubled off the next batter.

I swear KB and BenMcD read Os Hangout with the way they have tonight reference BP state of panic and struggles of Mullins/Santa. 

I am convinced the folks at MASN watch the conversations in game threads. The timing is too frequent and too consistent to be coincidence.

But I like that and appreciate that they are staying tuned into their fans.

    • I saw him hit some moonshot in college.  The power is in there but the swing wasn’t geared to do damage.  I’m going to try and go see him play soon.  It looks like he’s made some pretty significant swing adjustments.  
    • Big day for the big 3 at the top of the lineup 1. Sosa 2 for 2 1 2B 3R 3BB  2. Estrada 3 for 4  1 2B 2R 1RBI 3. Arias 1 for 1 1 2B 2RBI 4BB Looks like these guys are starting to get going.  All athletic guys that can run. All 19y/o.  I think they will be a fun group to keep an eye on. 
    • Do they really though.   The talk around here is how the Yanks have such a great pen and we have a a pen that needs an overhaul to major fixing.  We need more strikeout guys like they have and power arms.   However if you look at the numbers they are very similar looking at the 6 high leverage guys.  Webb, Cano, Coulumbe, Perez, Tate and Kimbrel vs the Yanks Weaver, Hamilton, Marciano, Ferguson, Tonkin, and Holmes.  They have pitched about the same number of innings 154 us vs 157 them.  Our Era 2.47 there’s 2.69.  Strikeouts 159 them 153 us or .05 more per 9 innings. Walks is us 44 and them 52.  If you look at individual numbers it shows similarities most pitchers are in the high 8’s to 9 in k’s/9.  We do have Kimbrel at 12.6 but Tate just at 6.1 which evens it out to about that 9.     Do I think we need to strengthen the bullpen yes for sure an upgrade from Akin and Baker to another high leverage guy should happen but just do believe the thought that we need to overhaul and fix it completely.  The 6 i listed are not going anywhere unless they fall off drastically.  If Kremer comes back you probably see Suarez move back to another spot in pen taking Bakers spot.  That leaves 1 spot you try to upgrade that is what we probably do but people thinking we need an overhaul just have blinders on and not looking at data.  I see suggestions like Kopech because he strikes guys out or Scott but neither of those guys are actual upgrades.  
    • Horvath popped another dinger (#6).  OPS up to .738 Unfortunately Aberdeen doesn’t have a game feed tonight, so couldn’t see it.  
    • Red Sox knocked out Aaron Nola after four innings, so Philly has used Gregory Soto, Orion Kerkering, and now Jeff Hoffman out of the bullpen. It's still the seventh inning. Keep working that bullpen! Also good to see Boston's offense rolling before the Yankees come to town.
