Marte with 3 doubles in 3 games since he got back. No rust at all.

Aguilar usually good at getting the single in these spots at least

"Aguilar's been catching up to high velocity all year."

Ray: *throws high fastball by Aguilar*

I miss Arepa power

Right where the second baseman would have been!

Good effort there, close ...

Do we walk him?

Probably should have.

Cooper what were you doing trying to tag there?

This team needs a lot of work

Crazy how when the ball hits a runner running towards 1st on a grounder fielded behind him by the catcher, they call interference on the runner, but on a potential play at the plate, not so much.

Sandy is a good pitcher.  He might even be a very good pitcher, but he'll never be a great pitcher until he learns to miss more bats.  He needs to know how to get a K when he needs one.  He has the stuff to be great. Has to execute.

Force out situation, but also, the ball would have to hit the runner in fair territory only - if the runner is in foul territory and it hits him on a force out throw? Nothing that can be done. He reaches safely.

Nice swing, Coopahh.

I predict that Alfaro will either homer off him or strikeout against him tonight.

Looks like he will have his last at bat against Ray this inning. Worth noting that Alfaro is the only batter without a K in the game. His live K rate is 30.0%. If he can go his next 2 plate appearances without one, it would be a career low -under 28.9% (2017). Considering the league wide rate is up 2.6% up since 2017, this is something to keep an eye on. Still early as he only has 50 PA including tonight.

Imagine if our hitters only swung at pitches in the strike zone?

SIGH... why am I even caring?

2 DP's are probably worse than a K anyway...

Lol. They have played 4 more games on the road than at home, Holly.

Sandy is really overthrowing a lot lately, I've noticed. Trying to hit 100 rather than hit his spots.

Hmm. Kinda feels like if Marte busted it the whole time on that fly ball he could have caught it but OK.

😞

Wait.... Which one?

I'm glad he's figured out the hitting at this level - Vlad Jr being good is good for the game.

Hopefully the Blue Jays in an attempt to get Vlad Jr another at bat give up at least 3 runs in the 8th or 9th.
