    Happy for the win.

    HATED the line up.

    With Diaz and carrot already out Yordan HAD to sit? Really? Two games in to his return? Give me a break.

    Carrot/Diaz/Alvarez/Meyers should change everything but you can't have that many dudes out at once.

    While I agree Altexander is our 3rd best starter right now, we're in trouble if he's the 3rd best starter headed into the playoffs.

    Certainly not the emphatic series win one would like over the worst team in baseball, but series win is a series win.

    Rounding into form. The OPS is still a little low

    Walker probably gonna end up with 25 HR, 90 RBI and .730 ops. Pretty solid considering the start. Contract probably still underwater but not by much and in context not regrettable.

    Time for the weekly what have you done for me lately Walker update:

    Since July 1:
    46 games
    .279 BA
    27 Runs
    11 HRs
    37 RBIs
    .860 OPS

    That's 39 HRs and 130 RBIs projected over a full season.

    I implore anyone that is still stuck on June 30th to get on board. This is the Christian Walker that was so dynamic in 2023 (and 2022 for that matter).

    I did not like Lowell Passe.

    Too hokey.
