    Who is that? And why do you want his return?

    Side note: for as great a season Raleigh is having, Yordan has had 4, count em, FOUR seasons with a higher OPS and OPS+.

    Absolutely have to sweep.

    If we can get the Padres to split the next 2, then we are back to a 3 game lead.

    While absolutely true, that man crouches behind a plate for over an hour each game, taking foul balls off of every which body part.

    If he doesn't win MVP it's a complete farce.

    I can see the shitty voters getting it wrong because Judge.

    Judge is gonna DH the rest of the season. That has to factor into it.

    It really does feel like a must-sweep series. The room for error is getting narrower and narrower.

    So when do we expect to hear any news on Alvarez getting a promotion from Corpus.

    Dumper is doing an excellent Brady Anderson impression.

    50 HRs after never hitting 40

    You should know by now to throw any stats out the window when going up against Astros lineup.

    Our plan is swing early and swing all, making opponent no name SP lasting all 9 innings.

    Wow that is an absolutely ridiculous comparison.

    Anderson was a 15-20 HR guy the rest of his career outside that steroid infused season, and was all the way into his 9th season in the bigs by that time.

    You could see the development of Raleigh going from 27 to 30 to 34 HRs. Is this going to be his one epic season? Doubt it seriously. I think he'll be a constant 40-50 HR guy.

    With Yordan returning, LF is almost always going to be Altuve or him pushing Sanchez to RF. The only games you'll see Cam in the lineup is against LHP when Sanchez sits.
