    Seems like it. Let's hope he has something for the playoffs.

    His leadership and experience appears to be helping the team at least. Players are always around him listening to his words. All that for only 16 mil :)

    Would be awesome if Springer outdid Judge's HRs and Altuve outdid his BA.

    F*** his Tri Crown.

    yeah, I agree I like his locker room presence for this year. It's a one year deal, no worries.

    Seems like they can keep running him out there in the regular season for his leadership, but then put Marwin at DH in the playoffs to make the lineup even more absurd.

    Damn Dodgers keep winning.

    Last night, ARI entered the 9th up 4-1.. then walked 3 consecutive batters and ended up losing 5-4.

    Utter choke job by a supposed "good" team.

    BEAT LA !!!!

    Who has a better 1-5 in baseball? Springer, josh, tuve, Carlos, and Gonzo. That is freaking incredible

    Agreed. Although I think we picked him up for the playoffs. If he shows up there then all is forgiven.

    What an unreal season Springer is having. OPS almost to 1.000, 74 runs and 60 RBI with 2 left before the break.

    Altuve was awesome last season, and this type of elevation has always been expected of Correa but at this point I had pretty much figured Springer was what he was, a really good but not great hitter. He still could very well cool off, but this has still been amazing to witness.

    Morton sliding back in smoothly was almost an afterthought.

    Congrats to springer passing Brady Anderson for most lead off HRs leading into the all star break

    whats your playoff lineup like?
    CF- springer
    RF- Reddick
    2b- tuve
    SS- Carlos
    LF- Marwin
    DH- Gattis
    1b- Yuli
    C- Mccain
    3b- Bregman

    jesus christ . Have aoki and beltran coming off the bench. DO NOT WANT TO SEE BELTRAN IN THE LINEUP.

    Seems viable. We will see if the springer-tuve 1-2 punch keeps working. Tuve seems to be comfortable there. (or maybe he is the best pure hitter in baseball, and he could hit anywhere) either way, not bad. Is that John Mccain at catcher?

    Marisnik replaces McCann, Gattis, or Bregman
