Really don't let Strad know that Wallach can hold-up as a backup catcher.

[fan_since79]

There it is!

Wallach will not make history!

Snaps an 0-38 streak.

Yep 1-39. That’s a really great guy to have on your team when you are “All in”. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Rengifo has been on fire lately too! Freaking love it

[eligrba4ever]

Rengifo is still sizzling.

[HeavenlyHalos]

More runs por favor and, if Ohtani needs to come out, we can use like Davidson to close this game out.

[HanfordGuy]

Big Rengifo hit. Just missed a homer.

[fan_since79]

And Rengifo's bat is heating up too!

Are the stars aligning for a playoff push?

Yep, he's been on stretches of 1-39 the entire season, which is why his totals to date are 6 HR and a .198 average. I guess you missed April and May when he was hitting, helping the team, and providing good insurance after O'Hoppe went down.

You really are not very bright.

[HeavenlyHalos]

OMG you two are still debating this crap? lol

[TroutField]

2nd and 3rd 1 out and 2 and 3 hitters both strikeout…

Yep he’s right at his career average of .198.  
Hey guys, is a .198 hitter good?

Shut up. You sound like a complete idiot

[Make Angels Great Again]

Ward, Moniak, Rengifo all hitting well lately. Cabbage looking good since coming up. Neto coming back strong. O'Hoppe getting close to returning.

 

Things are looking good.

I’m not debating it, there’s nothing to debate, Cali, I mean Flop, I mean VHoF craves attention and I’m a gentleman and gave him the attention.

Are you now debating my comment on whether you are debating it?  

For the record, I agree with you.

[PattyD22]

I don’t really believe in jinxes so I’ll go ahead and say this.  For all the hand wringing about the bullpen after the rainout, Shohei is showing exactly what to do to squash that issue.

Go out and manage you pitch count, work effectively, and tell the bullpen to Hold Your Beer.

[HeavenlyHalos]

7 down with no runs and only 80 pitches. Ohtani is freaking dealing

[eligrba4ever]

Sho appears to have ended his midseason pitching funk.
