[Mo Horn 8,795]

Verlander just took it to the top hitter in baseball right now. 

[runthebone 7,929]

Bregman loves Old and New Mexico. 

[Mo Horn 8,795]

 How is this pitcher bouncing his foot with a runner on first not a balk? 

[Seasick Sailor 3,747]

Reddick doesn't seem to be enjoying Mexico as much as the other guys. 

[Mo Horn 8,795]

Pitcher also doesn't stop completly at the belt every time. 

[Lat22 3,990]

So close.

Osuna tambien. And we didn't give up shit for him, other than a little bad press at the outset.

[Mo Horn 8,795]

Nice 2 game sweep of a team in the division. Time to make some gains against teams with losing records. 

[tx 3 putt 76,159]

Yes, sir. Rack up W’s

At this point, I find myself checking the date on these tweets just to make sure it isn't from a previous game. Nope. Dude just keeps raking:

Yeah it’s like bizarro world with all of these 11am starts even though the games are being played in the central time zone.

From Fangraphs prospects writer, blurb today:

Notes: The use of the major league baseball at Triple-A combined with the PCL hitting environment has had, um, some impact on offensive performance. It’s important to keep this in mind when considering what Alvarez has done so far, though his line through 23 games — .386/.474/.916(!) with 12 homers — is remarkable. Notably, several of those homers have come against breaking balls, which Alvarez is particularly adept at identifying and adjusting to mid-flight. He does not have a sellout, max-effort swing — this power comes easy and it plays to all fields, as seven of Alvarez’s homers this season have been opposite field shots. He was toward the back of our 50 FV group pre-season because of concerns about his body and defensive limitations, but he’s hitting like someone who belongs toward the front of that tier, up near Pete Alonso.

[UTexasFight 9,369]

If nothing else, I’m just glad Alvarez is distracting us from the start Whitley is off to.

[Scraps 13,531]

Holy shit I am here way too early for a fucking toy lol

[UTexasFight 9,369]

Nice!

I’m about to be in route from Austin for my first game this year.

With scraps in attendance, glad I’ll get to see a walk off (via a Jake PH bomb)

[DaysOff 7,821]

Lol @ mini Kemp.

[Slacks 6,791]

Let's go...
