That was also neat.

Other than the no hitter, which was obviously very special….. Rendon hitting that HR as a lefty, 1st as a switch hitter.  was out of this world. And Trout had two HR. Pretty cool

How dare you forget Velazquez' 3-hit game!

I didn’t even realize. I am not a big fan of defense first guys, I always want to see a competitive AB. But honestly none of the MiNF guys are hitting that well and his defense is spectacular. If he can’t hit .230-240 and get his OPS to say low .600’s… he may end up playing SS regularly.

I almost shed a tear. For realz.

3rd best run differential in MLB now. Validation

As of now Velazquez is halo SS. I'd keep Rengifo and Wade as other MIF. Do not know what halos will do when Duffy comes back.

I hope they are sober enough to complete the series sweep tomorrow.

Most fun since we started 13-3 a few years back.  This team may have something special.

Typically, when you score a lot of runs and don't give up a lot of runs, you win ballgames.

Remember when we were going to get swept by the Rays?

AO was about to have a coronary when we looked destined to lose that Washington series lol

I’ll be crying myself to sleep tonight from happiness

This is the happiest I’ve been in the month of May in a long time!

When we sweep tomorrow, we will be 5-1 on this homestand and headed to Oakland to face a terrible offense, hopefully taking 3 of 4 at worst.

That's the best Detmers change up had ever looked. Spotted it well.

He actually didn't locate the fastball all that well to be honest.  And was decent with the curve but not as good as I've seen him at times.  Point being that he didn't even have everything working tonight and threw a no hitter.

Fastball was good enough in that he didn't miss out over the middle of the plate as much as he missed out of the zone, which if you're going to miss, that's where to do it. The curve had moments that resembled the same bite and dive as last year. He's still rounding into form, and it'll be really good later on as long as he doesn't lean too heavily on it. But that change up, he kept it low and in the zone and sequenced it well. Saw the usage go from 10% to 20%

On the MLB app they have a video of all 27 outs and there really weren't many pitches that got squared up all night. Lots of routine fly balls and some ground balls right at infielders. The first pitch curves that were down in the zone were money all game long
