What a difference 24 hours makes.

This team went from garbage to awesome very quickly.

Don’t forget Minter turning from “garbage” to the next big thing after striking out the side!

Congrats Santana

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

I'm sure he's a gritty, gym rat grinder who'll bring his lunch pail while he exercises his knowledge of the inner workings of the game.

Did I leave out any stereotypes/cliches?

That’s close enough to Butch Jones quote while coaching Tennessee.

Lol, Ender.

Hit the cutoff man, Ender!

Hit the cutoff man, Ender!

He did--if the cutoff man was sitting in the Indians dugout.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Congrats to Santana, indeed.

Fried for CY?

I'm really starting to come around on him, certainly. If he can stay healthy and consistent all year, he looks like a guy capable of putting up some good numbers. I do want to see the strikeout rate continue to improve, though.

I think in yesterdays game he is just trying to go deep into the game and is inviting contact after being forced to throw 10 extra pitches in the first inning. I want to see him gain more confidence in the changeup and that tight slider in on the righties.

Either way, the dude is legit. He is hitting the corners with his fastball and despite the data, which of course is great data from Encheff, a well located fastball, even without spin, at 94-97 is going to give hitters fits.

Pure baseball eye candy. So pumped to see what he does over a full season.

I only got to see about two innings of Fried but he looked like he didn’t have great command of his curve. He walked two that inning I think. Although some of those pitches were strikes. But even then he stayed out of the middle of the zone and never looked rattled. Really digging what he is doing. Which brings me to my point. He is on record as saying working out of the pen last year really helped him last year. I wonder if we did that with wright/wilso/touki would be more beneficial to their growth later this year. We are married to this pitching and we are going to live and die by it.

Clemson made sure he wasn’t a champion as an assistant trainer or whatever at Alabama after his junior high cigar move when they beat Tennessee.
