Donaldson going off today... 2 extra base hits
Expecting a minimum of 6 k's by Wilson.
I'm expecting Swanson to get a couple hits today.
Okay. Let's go.
That's a given. Swanson's weak wrist from puberty hitting him harder than most is gone... Silver slugger nowQuote:

Some good news on the injury front...
expecting a yuge game from Flowers
A lot of talk about Wilson’s improved slider. Perhaps whatever voodoo gave Fried a nasty slider has also made Wilson’s better.
We will see.
Do secondary pitches peak for a pitcher around a certain age? Seems like they peak later than fastball. I have never pitched thoughQuote:

Amazing how much better these road alts look compared to the previous ones we wore for 10 years.
Still don’t like the new road font.Quote:

Just the capital A tilting more? lolQuote:

Both hits in the air
