Figures his first homer would come on a 9:35am Pacific start game.

Dansby continues to impress.

Meanwhile, Albies with 8 HR in a month of playing time, projection of 50+ HRs...that's 12.8 AB/HR...from a 2B.

I'm loving this team.

Now if we could get some pitching.

I think this Acuna guy has decent speed.

Re: 4/23 - 5/6 Game Discussion Thread

Acuna fever reminds me of what it was like to be a Cubs fan a few years ago with Baez.

Then Bryant.

Then Russell.

Then Schwarber.

Then Almora.

Then Happ.

For us it was:

Dansby

Then Albies

Then Acuna

Next Soroka?


Acuna will no doubt have the biggest fanfare though.

Tommy Pham ties the game at 2 in the bottom of the 8th.

2 on with 1 out. Come on Jose Martinez...how about a big fly?!

EDIT: Damnit Jose! .

Been better off striking out and letting Ozuna take a crack at driving in the go ahead run.

Combined 5-9 with 5 RBI, 3 runs scored, 2 doubles and 2 home runs.

Albies and Acuña:

Re: 4/23 - 5/6 Game Discussion Thread

So last night I had a real good look at Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The kid reminds me of Alex Rios when he's in the box but Gurriel shows more hustle in his pinky finger than Rios ever did in his entire playing career so that's where the comparisons end. I dunno how the Jays will end up this year but i'm liking the fact that they're slowly mixing in the young guys like Gurriel and Hernandez already is cemented as a big leaguer.

Inciarte
Dansby
Newcomb
Albies
Acuña

Soroka
Fried/Allard

Wright
Riley
Jackson
Pache

I think once Pache gets his call then the rebuild will be marked complete and we'll move on to the "compete" portion of the the cycle

Extras in Busch.

2 on with 1 out in the 9th and we couldn't get the winning run home.
