Riley Adams is just not very good at the hitting.

Robbie Ray is a better hitter than Riley Adams.

This ball park is ridiculous. So many balls to the warning track the last 2 games that would've been out in like 90% of the other stadiums.

I'm okay with that. I honestly think the homerun has become so commonplace that it's a little boring.

I will say that I've been to that stadium a few times, and it is nice, but it really lacks character. It just feels so corporately planned. Again, it's nice, but it's bland and designed to make money. Nothing like Fenway, AT&T Oracle Park (Giants) or even the Oakland A's playing in a giant concrete bowl. At least that place had a slightly run down character to it that made it endearing.

Also fun, my place used to back onto the Oracle campus in the Bay area, along with many other tech firms. When walking the dog I'd see the tech nerds on break and it always gave me a chuckle. They never seemed really comfortable outdoors.

My god these umpires are completely inept.

They're bad every single night all across the league.

I just hope it doesn't matter by the end of the night.

Yeah, if he's made the adjustment that Shulman is saying that is some pretty smart self-adjustment he normally doesn't make

Reece is doing well at the plate lately.

I understand giving a catcher a rest but I am so tired of Riley Adams's inability to hit literally anything.

I just want the Tijuana Terror back from injury

Is this masturbation joke just really subtle? I don't get it.

If there is a Reece masturbation joke in there then it's completely unintentional.

I'm way too dumb to make anything that clever yet subtle lmao.

Yeah Reese's approach at the plate has been great lately. He's staying back and not trying to pull it too hard.

Jeezus. Vladdy is going to pull a groin if he has to keep scooping it like he is.

And another one there on Romano's throw.

He's slowly becoming an elite defender at 1st. That's amazing to see considering how he did last year. Surprisingly athletic at that position.
