Can't be worse than O'Neal

Roseanne Barr signing the national anthem is better than O'Neal.

I’m right, he doesn’t have to blow it for me not to trust him. 

No he’s totally untrustworthy. But I’ll be damned if I can possibly admit to Loup being better. It’s mostly bias/eye test shenanigans

I’ve been waiting for Rengifo’s walk numbers to arrive after consistently showing great discipline in the minors

Rengifo maturing is one of the "this could be big" scenarios for this org.

If he turns into an actual plus hitter, thats going to be pretty amazing.

Walking is one of the keys to that happening.

[Erstad Grit]

I like the no walks, sounds obvious but can't defend a walk. Sometimes the line drives are caught

Quijada looks like he just chugged about 8 red bulls immediately before coming into the game

This is the way

[CaliAngel]

1-2-3 inning from Quijada.

Looks a liiiiittle out of control but he did the job lol

A few of us have been saying he had not really arrived until that part of his game showed up.  If this is who he is now he's going to be a problem for other teams.

Whoa down there, big fella. No need to take it to extremes.

[Duren, Duren]

Quijada had as much luck as anyone can expect to get out of that inning. Wildman blues!

I wonder if Drury doesn’t start hitting does Rengifo become the regular 2b.

Only if Nevin doesn't pinch run for him and then put up a stop sign.

Sir this is AW

[bloodbrother]

Glad Fletcher didn't hit into the double play

[Blarg]

I remember Festa from last year and he was a hitter's Fiesta.

[Duren, Duren]

Fletcher really out of sync.

[CaliAngel]

Pretty cool for the fans to be so close to the players in the bullpen.

Probably unnerving for the visiting bullpen players, but I can't think of a stadium where you get much closer.

FLETCH BEING FLETCH.

He is about the last guy I want to see in the 9th needing to advance a runner.

[Duren, Duren]

New guys making a difference.

Drury has 3 hits today, and just hit an RBI double.

[Swordsman78]

How bout those 2 out rallys!  Love this new culture. 

 

[HeavenlyHalos]

This offense is fun

[bloodbrother]

Hooray depth! Even Jake Lamb has looked good and he's probably the odd man out when Walsh returns

I seriously am not a fan of O'Neal.  Dude just tries too hard, everything comes off like its forced, he had a terrible habit of talking over Gubi too.  

 

[Blarg]

Remember last year's fill in players? Bench guys that couldn't hit their weight? 

This is nice.
