That was nice

 

[The Nemesis]

Well it's about damn time! Vladdy!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Beauty - dead centre shot

 

[BertCorbeau]

That bat speed.

 

[Suntouchable13]

That ball had a family. RIP.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Fair ball ... Where does Grichuk end up?

Home because there was no way he was getting gunned down before he got there given where the ball went.

You know, for as up in arms as Buck & Pat get about "openers" it's rather funny that they've generally been OK about the occasional bullpen day. It's the same concept and is nothing new in the slightest. But you stick a new name on it and pretend it's a modern analytically-minded concept and the old boys all lose their damn minds screeching about the kids ruining the game with their spreadsheets and their slide rulers and their new ideas. The pitching ideas of Old Hoss Radbourn worked just fine back then so why bother changing them at all?

Vlad hitting the way we expected. His slump wasn't anything to be concerned about. He would eventually figure it out.

 

[The Nemesis]

Rowdy.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Vladdy is 2/2 .. Nice shot through the infield

 

[canucksfan]

Vladdy is looking a lot more comfortable at the plate now.

 

[MS]

Guerrero is suddenly looking positively terrifying.

Guerrero is suddenly looking positively terrifying.

He’s having great at bats too.

Thornton is the new Ohtani.

 

[BertCorbeau]

turns on a 97 MPH fastball

 

[BertCorbeau]

Ohh Vladdy ...

 

[BertCorbeau]

He's here.

 

[The Nemesis]

Not sure what's better: A Chris Michalak reference, or a Woody Williams one.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Making me happy I'm staying up late to watch him

 

[Patmac40]

Holy hell, that bat speed.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Just crushed.
