    Trying to mix it up to prevent sign stealing, I like it.

    It is an interesting thought though, if a defender sees the stop sign he might signal for the throw to go to second base. Yesterday, the guy who caught the ball at 2nd immediately tried to apply a tag. Peña scored easily since they couldn't get anything on the throw.

    I only need Cam Smith to hit 3 more home runs today. Not asking for much.

    Perezchica out there throwing up yield signs? Maybe his signals are more of a suggestion? Joking aside hopefully Espada addresses it. I’ve not seen that happen consecutively with a player and then the confusion with Diaz. WTF?

    I mean. What's the point? I guess it might be fun for the drama of finding out what bad thing happens with him next....

    "I am the law. Don't ignore my sign and run past me! What I say goes! Do you understand? My judgement is for the plaintiff. The counter-claim is denied."

    Third-base coach Ken...what is he good for (if you ignore his signs)? He's just third-base coach Ken.

    Well, they don't have a 7th inning guy by any means. There's one goal for him.

    If you do well enough as the 7th inning guy, you also get to be the 8th inning guy on nights where Hader isn't available. You also get to be the 8th inning guy on nights Abreu isn't available and you don't want Hader consistently having to get more than 3 outs.

    They even need a mop-up guy better than Contreas, as we've seen in the last week + even that role can't be taken for granted.

    You are correct.

    Pena and Walker have also played every game

    I’m legitimately surprised Smith is in the lineup.

    Rangers win another 1 run game. How fortunate for them Ohtani is not playing this series because his wife is having a baby.

    About to have a couple of 4-3 wins by both the Rangers and Mariners. Sheesh.

    Wesneski has a beyond elite WHIP coming into this game

    That might be going up considerably

    Padres are tough
