Like clockwork

Hell yeah Wade

[failos]

He still doesn’t deserve Sosh’s number

[IheartLA]

Wade has been solid so far

If you've got the shits, try sprinting down your office halls at 100% and not poop yourself.

I don't give a shit if Rendon shits his pants running to first if he gets on base.

Alvarez did nothing against the M's or Dbacks but now that he's back to playing us he's locked in, just great

To be fair he also got 5 strikes to work with that at bat

That’s great.  Wade has been a nice contributor.  His own moron base running gaffes aside.  But it’s crazy that they don’t come out of the inning with the lead.  What’s really annoying is that there’s no rhyme or reason.  They hold him up on the well hit double.  Fine play it safe.  But then they send not fleet of foot stassi on a shitty infield grounder.  It’s just dumb fuck gut nonsense.  No plan.  Loser asshole shit

Wade needs to be in this lineup often.

The pitch he hit out probably would’ve been called ball four

Nice inning

Infield was playing back, conceding the run. Stassi ran on contact.

I kind of like the Velazquez/ Wade middle infield… it’s not good but it’s not losing us any games yet.

[Angelsjunky]

Velazquez needs to be our primary shortstop. Fletcher is OK defensively, but Velazquez is better.

I like Lorenzen. Just like Thor, he gets the ball and throws it. Defense likes that and stays alert.

[Blarg]

[Chuck]

There's no way David Fletcher makes this play. 

 

[IheartLA]

I know that the answer is yes but does Fletcher get back in the lineup if he come off the IL in the next few days? I'm liking Wade/Duffy/Velazquez/Mayfield a lot more than I thought I would.

I don’t think we can assume anything with balls and strikes this year
