In case people were wondering, something about Russell spraining a finger. Dont think its DL, but man has a hard enough time hanging on to a bat when he is healthy.

Zobrist and Heyward other than Rizzo/Bryant are probably the 2 best at putting together good at bats. Obviously results aren't always there with Heyward but he works a pitcher.

Thing I liked about Heyward was his on base...

He can be that guy again, having him in the 2 hole would be tremendous for this line up

And the wind is howling straight in from center tonight, about 25 mph. Only laser shot line drives have a chance of leaving the yard tonight.

Yeah. That was a laser-beam line drive, all right -- just with a rather high launch angle... sigh...

Though I wouldn't call that a Lackey home run allowed. More like Arrieta and Lester's inning ones throughout the first half of 2017.

Wasn't referring to type of HR...
Hendricks 12th given up in his 12th start

Lackey 36 HRs in 30 starts last year

It's not the HRs that are killing him...it's the fucking walks. Whatever Chatwood has must be contagious.

yeah, its all his fault lol.

Nice to see that Jake has the locker rooms attention. Maybe he will be in the outfield shagging balls with their starting outfield today.
