Oh man. Drury just missed a slam by a couple feet.

Sac fly makes it 5-0

Only the top of the 3rd

Stroman must be wondering what he has to do to get run support like this

Sanchez pulled in the 4th with a blister.

Should be able to get a kings ransom for that guy.

Vlad is definitely figuring it out.

Early on he was striking out a lot and swinging at bad pitches but now he is taking his walks, starting to hit home runs, his balls in play are going straight to defenders which will start to change and go his way a bit more.

I have to remind myself he is 20 years old.

Well at least it's a blister and not a nail issue. He has actually been pretty good this season.

Vald is the new bringer of rain. Literally started pouring as he was rounding 3rd base.

Haha. So Fierebend sucks.

Aren't injuries fun?

Hopefully by the end of the season we're able to get some looks at actual prospect pitchers, like Sopko, SRF, Borucki, Murphy, Perez....and unlikely but dare I say Pearson?

Guys like SRF and Paulino really crapped all over themselves this year with their AAA suckage. Total missed opportunity with all the SP injuries.

Jansen with a 2 run jack now.

He's starting to hit the ball better. That's nice to see.

Yeah it's nice to get a win where all the major contributions came from what you hope will be key pieces 5 years from now with Thornton, Jansen and Vladdy.

Vlad is really starting to look like the phenom at the plate we were anticipating.

Over last 7 games he is hitting .320, .393 OBP, 4 HR, 9 RBI, 3 BB and 2 Ks. Obviously a small sample size but he is drastically cutting down on his strike outs. Really positive signs.
