    This bullpens is fucking nails. Credit to Manoah for not falling apart early.

    Five in a row.

  2. Solid win in the opener. We were in trouble there in the 2nd but we got out of it without much damage. I loved Vlad’s hustle running the bases. Romano with another save! Good game!

  3. Holy shit that game was great. Everything we needed to do, we did to perfection.

    Let’s get the next one and win the series!

  4. Manoah v. Castillo (Pitching)

    Kirk v. Raleigh (Offense)

    Whit v. JP (Defense)

    We net… **A** **N+1** **JAYS WIN**

  5. So we are tied for the 4th best record in baseball. Also solely in third in the AL East.

  6. I don’t think I’ve ever had as much faith in this team’s bullpen to lock shit down as I have this year

  7. I loved this game so much! There was so much upside. Yeah, Manoah is having some struggles, but honestly everything else is so good. We were against a really good pitcher and we still got some good (and timely!) hits, and our bullpen was perfect.

  8. Hazel tottering away from the ice bath in her wedge heels, ahhh it never gets old

  9. Manoah before the game: 😀

    Manoah after a strikeout: 😏

    Manoah after the M’s score: 😠

    Manoah battling back: 😤

     

    Kirk before the game: 😐

    Kirk after hitting a home run: 😐

    Kirk throwing a runner out: 🤨

    Kirk on a three hit night: 😐

  10. The movement on Swanson’s pitches is actually incredible. Unhittable even.

  11. I love our outfield. We rolled out Varsho, Springer, and Kiermaier

    The yankees played franchy cordero, Aaron hicks, and Oswald Cabrera

  12. This felt like one of our most complete and satisfying wins of the season to date. Mariners played well which made it all the better. Got the result we wanted. What a beauty of a game.
