[PattyD22]

Fletcher is having a hell of an opening week.  Offensively and defensively.  Good for him.

Nice. 

Bootsy?

Fletcher is a defensive stud wherever he plays on the infield

[Chuck]

My goodness, David Fletcher can do no wrong!

I'd let Fletch touch me.

I don't believe that's true. She has her own subreddit and it's never come up there.

I am in no way convinced that Maddon is a better manager than Scioscia. His mismanagement in the world series was far more egregious than anything Scioscia ever did. 

Watched Maddon daily in TB...  MS definitely better...  Less imaginative sure, but he didn't do cutesy shit for the sake of doing cutesy shit.

Can you please shit-talk the other guys....  Fletcher went ape as soon as you fake trolled him.  I'd like to put a request in for Shohei shit-talk.

Fans on this board were driven nuts from Sosh's "micromanaging", they haven't seen anything yet.

[Bronson]

Man did we get lucky with Fletcher.

I would get lynched if I spoke badly about Ohtani. lol

[Mark68]

Speaking of Funks...Trout is in a pretty bad one.

[Bronson]

This is the most frustrated I’ve ever seen Trout at the plate.

 

His body language is lightweight concerning.

[bloodbrother]

Good thing we have Fletch to pick Trout up right now

[Stradling]

“Rynched”

[PattyD22]

Does Gubi even believe the shit he spouts out?  The addition of Rendon makes the Angels the MOST dangerous line up in the AL?

Come on Gubi...that’s a stretch

Couldn't have been much... Dodgers announcers aren't even talking about it.

If not for virus there would have been a brawl. They just met a HP and walked around each other with angry looks and words.

If they’re all clicking.... it definitely is in the convo.

So it was a normal baseball fight.

[Mark68]

I noticed this his last at-bat, but Rendon is a very observant player. He looks around the field to see where they're playing him. You can see this on the closeup shots of him standing at the plate.

So make it look like Claude did it.  Win, win.

I’m pretty sure that’s something every hitter does.... or should be doing...
