    Wider, lower, and does a toe tap instead of any leg movement. its very different from where he started the year.

    Dodgers bullpen is an unmitigated disaster.

    I was totally shocked they did not go out and get either a high leverage reliever or even moreso a legit closer at the deadline.

    That team is not coming close to winning a World Series.

    The Angels with a 6 game sweep of the Dodgers, first time in their history.

    You love to see it.

    Padres leaders of the division.

    Padres will spend 400M and once again get run out of the postseason in the WC or NLDS?

    Or do like 2022 and get to the NLCS?

    Padres have a lower payroll than the Astros at $215M.

    You're thinking of the Dodgers who are north of 400M if they didn't utilize this bullshit deferred payment of Ohtani.

    Never understand why folk pile in on Yainer when things get sticky for us as a team. Still, they even have done over the years on Altuve so one shouldn’t be too surprised I guess.

    I think Yainer Diaz is a 30 - 40 HR 100 RBI

    Not having Yordan Alvarez most of the Season and now Isaac Paredes hurt the Lineup balance.

    Yainer has not been a good hitter this year, but seems to be heating up at the right time. The fact is that his potential as a hitter for the position he plays is off the charts and the Astros would be crazy to lose him. If he was a 1b or DH, then he wouldn’t be anything special.
