Robin Yount. Guys can improve, even if they don’t become a hall-of-famer and two-time MVP.

Robin Yount was a rookie at 18 so that comparison in any way is quite the stretch.

[jason21nl]

Come on boys.  Work the count some

[kevinisaname]

Sudden influx of impatience.

[yourout]

So much for making him work.

And one could find a couple thousand trash player that stayed trash for every exception.

Turang was never a great hitter in the minors. Him not hitting in the majors is hardly shocking.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Moreno can't stay in the game after a 6-minute delay, head into the clubhouse, then come out of the game. That's very poorly handled by the DBacks and their training staff. Clearly a situation where competitive concerns outweighed health ones.

[kevinisaname]

Santana with two fantastic ABs.

[Samurai Bucky]

I’m amazed Santana is only hitting .240

[Underachiever]

Station to station baseball.

Yeah.  Just about any other runner is standing in 3rd there

[jw5511986]

If it wasn't for bad luck we'd have none.

[jason21nl]

Gah!

You’re right, suggesting Turang might not be trash was way over the line by me. 

[kevinisaname]

Ugh, stupid defense.

[MrTPlush]

Lucky has not been on our side so far in this series.

[Team Canada]

Wow, nice turn by Gallen.

[Brewcrew82]

How many of these are we going to have this series. Come on baseball gods.

I think we're owed about three 2 out Texas Leaguers

[kevinisaname]

That was headed into CF. Sal knocked Gallen's glove off and it's still a DP.

[Jake McKibbin]

Good to see Sal make solid contact again of late, that's unfortunate and obviously results over good looks at this point.

That was a bullet

Not saying he is, but he has quite an uphill battle. I think most were pretty skeptical of him coming into the season. He has so little power. Unless he becomes an OBP machine, hard to see him become a decent MLB player.

[Samurai Bucky]

Santana is a beast on both sides of the ball

Best case scenario is Nico Hoerner imo. 

Which is possible, but he's going to have to focus on contact and getting on base. He has the eye for it. 

[kevinisaname]

Another great inning.

[Jake McKibbin]

Is this what an ace looks like?
