GDT 6-4: The Return of the THING CALLED SOROKA.

[Super]

Dbacks are pretty good. I wish Dave Stewart was still in charge.

I was looking at their FG team page and am sort of confused as to how their record is so good…seems some pretty big over performance on offense. Gallen is obviously a stud but I’m surprised at their success so far.

Watching a replay of the slam. 4 guys(3 fans) thought they had that catch and all failed.

The replay showed the ball clearing his glove by a larger margin than I originally thought.

Yes. And the three fans jumping for it too.

Lose 2 of 3 to the A's and win 2 of 3 from the dbacks. That's baseball

 

[Garmel]

Rosario is dynamite for about 1 month a season and brutal for most of the rest. Let’s make sure we enjoy this month.

He'll do good just enough to keep us from going after a better LF.

 

[Hulavol]

The Mets fans saw that too. Even more delicious.

Great series win, and as posted above, with the jet lag crap show in Oakland… well feels very good to win the series and get home 3-3.

Soroka had some trouble. He didn’t have it today.
Mc Hugh did well, and then AJSS!!!!!
And AJM too.
And our closer did his job although the velo drop is

Can’t ask for much more than going .500 on a grueling, west coast trip.

The west coast trips are notoriously tough for us so I'd take .500 every time.

Wish we did better vs the A's. But 3-3 is fine given we usually suck on the West Coast.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Anyone else think west coast trips are usually tough on the Braves. And that 3-3 is fine?? Just curious.

 

[Hulavol]

And you know a hot streak is coming … we arguably coulda / shoulda won all the three in Oakland, and all three of these as well.

MH2 is about to get scorching hot, and it looks Acuna is too. And Ozzie might be about to go on another of his little heat streaks…

 

[jpx7]

Went to all three games. Great series.

 

[Tapate50]

108 double play coming I’m sure.

This could be the phrase of the road trip

Eddie Rosario to Chop Country: Sit down and shut up

Rosario channeling Jackie Gleason in Smokey and the Bandit Telling Chop Country "Shut your ---" was beautiful.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Don’t look now but A.J. Minter is quickly finding his footing after a rough start to the season. His last eight appearances: 7.1 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 0BB, 9Ks and a WHIP below 1.00.

 

[The Tariff King]

Incoming sweep of the Mets.

 

[Hudson2]

It’s nice seeing Minter slowly come out of it. We knew he’d come around but it’s really needed.

This is the way.

Yet another data point about why I would be the worst GM in history. I woulda’ DFA’d his ass a month ago.
