    For just the 3rd time ever, Boston has hit 10 homers in a 3-game series.

    The previous two times were 1977 and 1950.

      Just a horrible series for the Angels. They have to put that one past them real quick.

      Andrelton Simmons continues to be ****ing amazing though. Three walks, that amazing double play, the almost scoring from first thing......I miss him so bad.

        3 and a half weeks into the season, Tampa Bay and Baltimore are already 11 and 11.5 games back, respectively.

          Brinson, the former Brewer prospect hit his first 2 hr's vs the Brewers and he was hitting his weight coming into the game.

          I left the game at one moment and it was 3 to 2 Marlins. I checked the score again, it was 6 to 3 Brewers. The last time I checked it was 12 to 3 Brewers and that was the final.

          Hopefully, Brewers can take the series sweep here, but we will see.

            If Dansby continues to be anything like what we've seen early this season then it won't be so bad, but watching Simmons every night in Atlanta was a joy. Imagine him and Ozzie playing up the middle side by side.

            Glad to see that the bat has finally come along over the last year or so.

              More angry that Snitker keeps trotting the same dead *** arms out there in relief. Still trying to figure out why 1/3 of our bullpen are actually on a MLB roster.

                Sign of the times. I think the state of baseball as it is has forced a lot of guys into high volume MLB roles (for a number of linked reasons) that shouldn't be and even just 10 years ago wouldn't be. Snit isn't blameless, but I think there is a larger discussion about root cause of this and the inability to throw strikes by so many pitchers in general.

                  The bullpen all around sucks just about and will be a huge part of this team cooling down. Snitker isn't the best manager, but it's hard to manage a bullpen when your choices are all practically immaculate and just bad.

                  Lol @ immaculate. I meant inaccurate.

                    Franco Harris might be an improvement for this pen 😁

                      Jays calling up Lourdes Gurriel Jr to start at 2b tonight VS Yankees. For those who don't know/remember, he was top Cuban prospect a few years ago. Jays signed him to an mlb the show like contract. 7 years, 22m. He's in year 2 of that deal and is only 24. If he can stick around on roster, that'd be huge steal having him for up to 6 years while paying him barely anything.

                      Future can't come soon enough for jays, even despite the success of current team. Having guys in farm who could be more than just everyday starters on a good team.

                          I mean...that was a 100 mph fastball and he turned on it like he was hitting a BP fastball. Kid really is incredible

                            I wonder what this offense will do once Inciarte starts hitting.

                            It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                              Good job, Yankees. Sonny Gray sucks now.

                                This team is so fun to watch, at least when they're hitting.
