Freeman looking rough so far. Maybe that’s a silver lining for Atlanta? They are up 1-0 without anything from their main guy.
You can still only play 9 at a time in the NLGood thing the Dodgers didn’t keep Joc and Kike. They’d be unstoppable.
Spot onD'Arnaud is earning his money back there tonight
JoKe and Mookie make it tough.As much as I am rooting against the Dodgers, JoeK is one guy I just cannot root against.
What's wild is that he still mashes vs LHP: 140 OPS+ and 13 HR in 136 ABs this year. If he wanted to he could probably play a few more years as a lefty killer. But with 3,300 hits, 2 World Series rings, and his 1st ballot HoF candidacy secured at age 41, I guess the question would be: why?How is Pujols still playing baseball?
He's sort of been a serviceable hitter for the Dodgers, with a 101 wRC+, but he is literally the slowest player in baseball (has been for a while) and hasn't been a legitimately valuable player in a long time. I know it all comes down to that contract, but he has a -3.3 fWAR over the last 5 seasons.Kinda sad.
Ah, that's a fair point. As a pitch hitter off the bench against a lefty, you could do worse.What's wild is that he still mashes vs LHP: 140 OPS+ and 13 HR in 136 ABs this year.

Those really aren't grooved. That is an incredibly live fastballOof, Matzek is grooving some fastballs
Neither has a combustible bullpen like us.Is it wrong to feel like the Red Sox are better than both of these teams? I'm not finding either lineup or rotation to be that impressive.
Two runs still would have scoredGot to keep that ball in front.
Yea, with two outs, probably. Joc was there for the back up.Two runs still would have scored
