Isn’t that more or less identical to the Acuna play earlier this year? (Final out at 3rd for no reason)

Renfroe for MVP (if replay doesn’t screw us) What a throw. I am still waiting for Ellis to tell us that it is a sin to to make the third out at third base.

Props also to Bobby Dalbec for a good tag.

Holy crap weâre going in with Robles on the mound, Devers at 2nd, and Santana in center. Iâd almost rather have Dalbec at SS and Kiké in center⦠Santana in CF turned out to be a good move, gotta trick them into running on Hunter

I said back before Barnes went on IL w Covid I liked Robles best out of the bullpen, just cuz he has the stuff and has done it before.
I still think Whitlock is best as a 2-IP guy.

Does anyone have splits on Robles? I think he’s filthy with 2 conditions: 1) at least 1 day of rest 2) under ~18 pitches (he turns into a pumpkin by 20 pitches)

Props also to Bobby Dalbec for a good tag. I imagine sliding into a guy the size of Dalbec also causes the runner to re-think his priorities.

A RF throw worthy of Ichiro or Dewey. Yes Hunter plays better against ex-TB.

Robles has to have FB velo at 97-99 to have any chance of success. 94 and he gets bombed. I think that is the problem in back to back situations.

20 games left. Seattle and Oakland down to around 6% chance of making the playoffs.
Boston, MFY and Toronto. 2 of these three teams will be happy, one not. Toronto currently leading 4-3 in the 7th.
Our toughest games - 3 in Chicago, 3 in Seattle, 3 MFY at Fenway, maybe 2 Mets at home. 11 tough or pretty tough games
MFY have 3 at Fenway, 3 in Toronto, 3 at home vs Tampa, 3 Mets. 12 tough or pretty tough games
Toronto has 6 against Tamps (3 home, 3 away), 3 MFY. 9 tough games.
Pretty even schedules - I feel good about our chances.

On the right night, Hunter Renfroe looks like one of the best players in baseball. Tonight was the right night.

I’ve watched all the Renfroe replays like 500 times each.
He is without a doubt one of my favorite “role-player” types we’ve ever had. Even if we only have him for two years. Such a stud.

Santana - LOL. When you dive you don't do a belly flop! Inserted into the lineup this game, then shifted to CF for the 9th for that very play. Hunter instinctively knew to get over this time!

2013 was a wild ride and a great surprise. 2018 was a no doubter. No matter how 2021 ends, you can't say it is ever boring. We have a likeable team, they provide drama nearly every game - pretty special season no matter what, warts and all, dud games, blown games, comeback wins - and COVID messes - it really does have it all.
And - Vlad homers against Chapman - 6-3 Toronto!
