Canha got HR in first 1-0 after one.

 

[Mitchrapp]

After the Keith Pop-up and Meadow's strike-out Javy gets the RBI single.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Error on Rogers GB, Javy scores from 2nd. 3-0.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Javy up to .197 and surpassed the .500 OPS after his 2nd inning hit.

 

[gotime909]

#1 overall prospect Jackson Holliday is 1-30 with 16k's to start his mlb career. I'm certain he'll end up great, but ouch.

 

[Mitchrapp]

That's rough.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Ah, Keith hit it good. I thought it might be gone but just short.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I do enough shitting on him but Carp played that ball good - kept him to a single.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Not sure defense is worth $25 mill but I'm glad he's good at it.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Baez sure runs the bases well.. 4-0. Rogers gets to 3rd..

 

[tomdalton22]

If they give Baez a hit, he will be over 0.200

 

[gotime909]

Javy has been hitting pretty well lately.

 

[gotime909]

If they give Baez a hit, he will be over 0.200

Why wouldn't they give him a hit?

 

[tomdalton22]

Baez sure runs the bases well.. 4-0. Rogers gets to 3rd..

He has been...when he gets on. He is leading the team in SB which is pretty impressive given he only had 12 hits and 2 walks going into the game today.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Javy's 2 hits have both been over 109MPH. Canha hit, 5-0.

 

[gotime909]

Could this be the first tork bomb of the year?

 

[tomdalton22]

Why wouldn't they give him a hit?

I don't know, I'm not watching the game. I just logged on and the gamecast said "pending official scoring". I assumed it was a possible error.

 

[gotime909]

Could this be the first tork bomb of the year?

Nope
