    i wish the crew threw a no-hitter to give phillies fans some PTSD but 3 HRs game by Yordan will do.

    That’s my point. Clearly he’s not good at it either.

    Brice Matthews can make the Team out of Spring Training.

    Competition is weak at 3B

    Dezenzo, Whitcomb is the competition then Brice Matthews just needs to perform and beat out these journeymen.

    Trade Dezenzo and Whitcomb for younger star prospects in Low A.

    we'll see if the new batter's eye color will help for the rest of the year.

    Abberation. He's an average hitter, but he's an upgrade because he's replacing guys who have been below average.

    mariners won so didn't get separation.

    but they are getting closer to the finish line.

    ...or hurt. May help the opposition hitting as well.

    Nice way to close out the series after those disappointing losses. Yordan the Great at it again.

    Omar Lopez has his work cut out for him.

    Lots of hit fungos to Dezenzo and Whitcomb.

    This is Derek Jeter Low A, Error Record Season Bad.

    I just don’t understand how he used to hit just fine with the old one. I mean he hit a 100 mph off Alvarado literally above the batters eye to win the WS.

    - Arrighetti continues to ball -- his August was especially awesome (1.95 ERA, sub-.900 WHIP, K/9 13.1)
    - Stros maintain their 3.5 game lead
    - Yordan's 3rd career 3-HR game (.963 OPS)
    - Big 3 with 2 days rest entering KC (will it bode well for Abreu though?)

    Lost 2 winnables games in Baltimore due to a couple of mental break downs by Abreu and Singleton. Wanted the day off for Altuve more than the win in game 1 of this series. And even in Yesterday's game, Verlander had three outs recorded in the 3rd inning before the ump said watch this .
    Easily a 5-2 road trip but yeah baseball, 3-4. womp womp.
    Win the division!

    hopefully it's just an outlier year at home for yordan.
