Ah Reese, the Blue Jays double agent...
Eh.. Swanson time ..
My new nickname for Whit is to drop the W and just call him Hit Merrifield XD
I've got my kids chanting "Two-hit Whit!" every time he comes to the plate
That's adorable! Two-hit Whit is a good and fun-to-say/chant nickname
Ok. It's Jordan Time!
Side-arm opener? What is this, the Tampa Bay Rays?
Berrios looking good so far!
Hard contact, but no harm done!
For sure. Also, that side by side comparison with Gasman was eye opening.
He's been so solid this year.
Hopefully it's the same next year too, because he was basically this good (by ERA+) each of the 3 years before last year
Devers: Hold my beer (or can of dip lol)
Stupid Sexy Kiermaier!
George seems to be finding his groove again. Happy for him 😊
I agree. George is doing well today.
This Schneider kid is awesome
For real! Crazy good MLB start so far and a really uplifting story
If DeJong has another 0-for tonight, Espy should be getting some time at SS while Bo's injured
Finally, a hit!
Everyone put on your BJ Belts.
Come on Whit, get a hit
Red Sox looking pretty sad today
I swear our rotation must be among the best at fielding the pitcher position in the MLB
Ooof hahaha. Sucks to be the red Sox
TIL about the baseball term TOOTBLAN - Thrown out on base like a nincompoop.
