I was surprised how weak Gurriel’s arm was when we played Toronto. He makes Brett look like Dwight Evans…

Does Gardner have a Johnny Damon arm now?  Gardner has never had that monster hose, we all know. It’s slightly below average, but he gets rid of the ball quick and is usually pretty accurate. Only Johnny Damon and Don Baylor had Damon-Baylor arm disease… It used to be slightly below average. I think its deteriorated worse than that now. |

Always so sad to see a prospect we gave up on come around and bully us…

Maybe he’s faking it, waiting to unleash a bolt of lightning ⚡️ in a big post season moment. Ya’ think maybe? No? Oh… |

Pulling Taillon early like usual. He gave a better performance than I expected.

Boone loves to take pitchers out after 4 2/3 innings.

Boone loves to take pitchers out after 4 2/3 innings. The bullpen is going to be in poor shape come August. |

Here comes Boone with the automatic 76th pitch removal of Taillon. One more batter would have finished the 5th, but… no…It’s Wandy time!!!

Taillon will be a dead ringer for John Lithgow in a few years when the hair starts to fall…
