YES! Love the Powder Blues!

Would have liked to see Santana in for Aguilar but I suppose they made their bed in a way with putting him in the 3-hole now.

[Fear The Chorizo]

I sense a big offensive output for the crew today...

[PinaMadness]

Need to put that clunker of a game lastnight to bed in a big way today. And tomorrow.

[MrTPlush]

Anyone who likes these uniforms must be at least 40+. Only way you can look at them and like them is if you have some bias appreciation from your childhood etc.

 

Those stripes on the sleeves, belt area, and full powder blue is just awful. Amazing that was ever a good idea.

[pacopete4]

I’m not 40+ and I like em. I wouldn’t want them as a permanent jersey but they are good looking.

[PinaMadness]

Whatever, Mr. Blackwell.

[MrTPlush]

If you look up you can see something falling back down to earth, Jesus Aguilar.

[yfinn6]

Low 30s and the powder blues look great.

Totally agree. They needed to have him in everyday to ride out the hot streak, but he’s been cooling for quite some time now.

Mentioned this lastnight. He's been swinging wildly at bad pitches lately.

[pacopete4]

Shields looks good so far. Change of speeds, in and out, keeping the ball down.

What did I miss? Just following Gameday but says he walked in his first AB...

[pacopete4]

Kratz

[markedman5]

Another homer for Kratz.......starting to think Stearns knows what he's doing.....

[Roderick]

Can't stop him you can only hope to contain Kratz

[wildcat83]

Kratz AB strike two was a curveball down and in, and he missed it by a foot. Next pitch almost identical spot and he hits it out, lol.

[wildcat83]

Walking anyone in this series not named Abreu is annoying.

[pacopete4]

Walks are going to happen from time to time. This isn’t a video game.

I get they happen, doesn't make walking the 9 hole hitter any less annoying.

Observation looking at numbers today (and watching him lately). Nothing directly correalated with his ABs today.

 

On another note he has always wildly swung at bad pitches...a good reason a hard fall was inevitable. He is not a .300+ hitter. I guess it isn’t bad if he reverts to normalcy. Makes it easier to just platoon him with Thames upon his return. Which is probably the best course of action long term.

[pacopete4]

Shields dialed in. The way the shifts are it’s be great if we had the approach to the opposite field but I won’t hold my breath.

[adambr2]

I have always assumed Thames would take back his role anyway when he returns. Can't bench Thames vs. RHP. Or you shouldn't anyhow.

[MoreTrife]

We should be shelling Shields
