    Said it keeps his eyes from drying out due to the wind.
    He must keep them on after hitting two dingers.
    It’s baseball etiquette or so they say.

    It's almost like Newk is doing well in the BP because that's the role he's best suited to fill.

    If only it were so obvious years ago...

    Seems like all our runs the last few days are via long ball. Genius lineup construction

    I feel like we are about to go on a tear. We normally like to lay a big egg in the first game on a west coast trip.

    Yup. Love all these solo homers. Clearly he wouldn’t hit them in any other spot in the lineup

    He'll obviously hit anywhere in the lineup but dude is just on another planet leading off. It's interesting.

    26-22 after the brutal schedule, pitching injuries and bullpen woes is pretty awesome. It's whatever at this point, but I REALLY wish we would have won on Sunday - 27-21 would be so nice right now.

    i think it's fairly easy to see how the pitching as a whole could/ stabilize/d. it was so rough to begin the season and can really only go up.

    really stinks soroka won't be able to pitch a whole year. would be huge.
    hopefully folty returning to form will help offset some of that.

    They will rest him at some point and bring up some of the 15 other guys to pitch. He will be fine for the playoffs.

    This is where Newk, Weigel, wilson and touki might team up. Start having those guys do a pseudo bullpen game to either skip starts or bump everyone back an extra day

    Yup. Definitely. Soroka is probably our biggest weapon not named Freeman and Acuna for the playoffs. No way in hell we don't rest accordingly with him.

    We have Ftied and Folty’s elbow and Gaus’s shoulder. None of our big four needs to be throwing 180 innings. Skipping them or giving them extra days here and there has to be a priority for twit.
