    Regardless of how touki finishes this game. This is why you don’t give up on a kid his age. He is still so young and has improved every year. Why everyone loves to dream on him.

    Bichette certainly doesn't get cheated on his swings.

    I haven't seen Touki use that split often, but it seems like a legit change alternative.

    That last pitch to Biggio was nasty.

    Yeah, I’m also wondering why Wilson hasn’t been up. I guess they aren’t liking what they see with him right now.

    Why?

    Ender is a far better player than Markakis and Acuña is a far better player in RF.

    ****ing god damnit.

    I fully expect folks to go off the deep end pimping Touki after this single excellent start, but a combo of he and Matzek could prove to be an effective way to cover 5-7 innings every 5 days.

    That was a hell of an outing from Touki. Probably bullpen from here.

    I’ve rarely seen him with the level of command he has tonight. It’s helpful that Toronto is hyper aggressive, but he looks great.

    He shouldn’t go. But this is elite touki and something we might not see for another dozen starts. So selfishly I want one more

    Why do i feel like a Rusty Will Smith might give up a few runs when he comes in tonight.
