He is solid, but I watched him get shelled earlier this year in person. Perhaps being on a team that is an actual major league outfit will be good for him.

I feel like A-Rod, when he first started announcing, was really good because he prepared really thoroughly and kept himself low-key because he knew everyone hated him.  And now that people like him, he's relaxing and being himself more, which is bad, because he's actually really annoying.

Have I ever mentioned that guys, especially catchers, don't fucking know how to tag?  Verdugo was nearly safe because the tag was way up on the leg.  Just put the glove in front of the plate and let the guy slide into it and tag himself out.  Shit, this is becoming a pet peeve of mine.

Did the Phillies really enter 2019 thinking this pitching staff would be playoff worthy? 

Dodgers tend to make a lot of staffs look pedestrian.

And Helobious’ boy went yack. 

For the 16th time out of 26 it was within 2 runs either way. He had just missed on the prior pitch and fouled it 30 feet short of a homer. Dude is going to hit a big homer in the post-season.

I work with a guy who is from Philly who loves them. Surprisingly he is not an asshole and is a pretty cool guy who just loves baseball.

Hey Helobious, was that bomb off a shit reliever in a nothing game? 

two bombs and what should have been the game winning HR had Aroldis not blown it. i'm sure helo will be by soon to tell us how much Chapman sucks.

Holy fuck, d’Arnaud’s third bomb of the game is 2-out, 2-strike 3-run shot off Aroldis for the lead. 

I had to leave early because of work, but file this game under most amazing performances ever by the most unlikely player to do it.

He’s no longer a dominant reliever, that’s for sure. Or at least not like he used to be (he really struggles to climb over 100 now). But he’s still good, he just wasn’t that at all tonight. 

I am surprised Edwin went yard twice. Some guys can’t handle playing in pinstripes and he more than looks like he’ll be one of those players. He may prove me wrong though.

he will prove you wrong, because he's a consummate professional who has mashed everywhere he's been, and he now plays in a kiddie park that is honestly *much* smaller than Pflugerville Connally's field, so he's going to be just fine, old age and all. he's one of the best right handed power bats in the league and as a Cubs fan I would take him and his bat in a heartbeat, even if it meant starting him and/or rizzo out in RF fairly often. but that's just because i like guys who go for 35 and 100 every year for nearly a decade.

d’Arnaud has beaten the Yankees twice this year, almost entirely by himself. He’s a Ciriaco (worthless scrub player that turns super saiyan god against the Yankees) just like Randal Grichuk. Sabathia would be smart to throw some chin music at d’Arnaud tomorrow or just IBB him every time. Anything to get him off his game.

10 of 26 HRs when the lead/deficit is 3 or more?  That seems like a lot to me, especially because almost all 1st/2nd inning homers will be with the score close.
