    If Keuchel throws a pitch at 97, I have a lot more pressing questions than wupk's.

    "Freddie smokes the Fish with Ash!!"
    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.

    High Flight

    Freeman got a hit and it was a homer after three games hitless and one dp into this game, hopefully he gets hot this series.

    ****ing Donaldson is up to a .920 OPS. He’d be an MVP candidate in most years, considering the position he plays and how well he plays it. That’s insane.

    In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if his immaturity may set him back for a couple of games. He's been benched in the middle of a game by his manager and then hit by the first pitch of the next game by a team with which he has a confrontational history.

    There's no doubt in my mind that Mattingly had his pitcher hit Acuña intentionally just to see how much they could get inside RA's head.

    He’s going yard this game.

    League OPS is skewing your perception. He's not even going to reach 5 WAR on the season.

    I’m sure you’re perfectly fine with Donaldson’s mannerisms though. I wonder what the difference is between the two?

    I cannot imagine it's what you meant, but the way this is worded it seems implied that he had fault in that "confrontational history."

    I doubt it because he appears to be pressing at the plate. If he does, though, it'd go a long way towards putting all the drama behind him.

    Not sure how you can judge that from two ABs.

    Think I read something about Donaldson being 2nd in the league in WAR since mid May

    Don't have any data, but everytime I watch a game umped by Porter, he has the best strikezone I ever notice
