    That all-time road runs/gm graphic was nice.

    #1 - 1930's Yankees 7.80
    #2 - 1930's Yankees 7.38
    #3 - 1930's Yankees
    #4 - 2017 Astros 6.85
    #5 - 1994 Yankees

    And they have now outscored the Braves 6-0 since the double switch with Aoki scoring 2 of the runs.
    Stupid Hinch making stupid decisions that helps lead to 6 runs.

    This lineup

    Even with it blown open, Giles probably needs to pitch today as well. Only 2 appearances since June 24.

    I'm just glad I no longer have to sit through the pain of having the catcher and shortstop be automatic outs, year after year.

    God that was awful in the 90's and early 2000's.

    LOL. Marwin somehow has more RBIs than Altuve in about 1/3 fewer at bats.

    That's just how ridiculous he's been. I mean, I assume he'll regress, but what a boss.

    I'm not sure he will regress all that much.

    His HR/FB rate was always gonna fall off, and it has, but the rest of his production suggests sustainability. His approach this year is so much better.

    Eusebio before that.


    Although every game I went to as a kid in the dome, I swear Eusebio would hit a homer.

    You need 3.1 PA per team game, so at this exact moment he needs 24 more PA, but when our next game starts he will need 27 more PA.

    It makes it very difficult to catch up if you get even one day off a week.

    But it was a thing of beauty to watch those two play defense.

    He probably would've PH Aoki for Musgrove. So nothing changes in that regard.
