I hope this isn’t our opening day lineup.
Man I really wanted to get Kike Hernandez... I’ve always liked him.

Ugh. If Ian is going to give up homers to two washed-up players, he needs to be sent down for a bit. The ignorance is clear.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

And follows those 2 HRs with yet a 3rd to Gonzalez with runner on. Now 4-0 in 3rd

Ian might have been a Cinderella story last year. Guys are going to start seeing the change and just wait the fastball out. He doesn’t have much of a curve either.
Coppy
season over

The good news is, if we ended up needing a SS replacement for Bae at any point this season, there are several decent SS options that will be a FA at the end of this year and who play on teams not likely to be contending. Trevor Story, Javy Baez, Brandon Crawford, Miguel Rojas, and Freddy Galvis. Plus a few others that could end up on this list if their teams underwhelm. Guys like Lindor, Iglesias, and Semien.

Anderson is a rising fastball guy who is going to give up some HRs. That 4.5% HR/FB rate he posted in 2020 was always going to regress in a big way.
As long as he doesn't compound the issue with lots of additional baserunners he will be just fine.

Acuña is good.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Fun inning from Vodnik. Multiple 98s and 99s. Got a K on a good changeup that was 89-90 that inning, then two weak ground outs as well.

Vodnik makes you forget about Michael Harris

Pretty solid inning for Tarnok, too. Mostly threw fastballs, everything was 95-98 and a lot of strikes.

I didn’t see the context, but the point stands.
Actually, after looking up his GB rate, my point may not stand. He posted an above average GB rate in 2020, so maybe he will keep the ball out of the air.
Maybe they were poorly located CHs. Maybe they were thrown 3x in a row. Maybe HRs just happen sometimes. Either way, Anderson should be a perfectly fine MOR pitcher.
