    Be OK, George.

    ETA:
    Looking at the replay, I think something tightened up on the infield hit. He looked funny on the force at 2B.

    Verlander is our ace, but Cole and Morton have pitched like our #1 and #2 so far

    On Springs if single it looked like he slowed up towards the bag. He immediately looked to the bench.

    Ever since Ash left Blummer seems to have stepped up his game with Julia, just less creepy. Although hanging out in the parking lot to help her with her luggage is borderline.

    Waaaaaay less creepy. Somewhere Milo is rolling over in his grave (poor Yvette). They seem more buddy-buddy now.

    See how it was behind the plate with no coming home?

    ETA: no runner...

    Not the same principle. Not the same angle. Same ballpark though.

    Maybe the JT Realmuto trade rumors played a roll. But anyway, I think this really could be a great year for Stassi. He may be our solution at catcher, post-McCann.

    ...I did not think Giles would be done with the organization this quickly into the season.

    Nah, other than the catcher immediately pointing and yelling to Hosmer, I think that covers it.

    Giles was most likely not available today.

    So...reading into Hinch's brain...not using Rondon here for 1 IP but going to Peacock.

    We may have us a new closer.
