  1. Eovaldi’s last 6 starts: 46.2 innings, 4 runs allowed, 9 total walks, 39 Ks, 0.78 ERA, 0.75 whip, average game score of 74.3

    Today’s outing actually increased his WHIP while decreasing his ERA. Dude 100% deserves to be a Cy Young candidate through this first third of the season.

  2. Another win, another day of being a fan of one of the best teams in all of baseball

  3. Staring at LeClerc the entire inning like my mom used to stare at me to act right in the grocery store growing up lol

  4. Burke, Hernandez, and LeClerc went scoreless through 4 innings combined. I know people will say the usual suspects like Evo or Seager for MVP, but nah, those guys held down the fort for once, gotta give em some props.

  5. I’m not convinced there ever has been, or ever will be, a PGT with a box score

  6. 2 scoreless innings from Hernandez and 1 from LeClerc, cheers to that boys

  7. Today is a happy day! Bullpen closed it out but you can’t ignore that Detroit hitting helped. Nonetheless, a zero is a zero!

  8. So random but I think it’s hilarious watching Boch call Jose “Hozee”

  9. I love how Eovaldi clearly was not having his best day and still didn’t allow a run. And props to the bullpen; today they did exactly what they were asked to do.

    But honestly I feel like the infield was the real story, with Semien and Seager just owning everything that came their way to save the pitching when they ran into a little static.

  10. FEAR THE EARS

    Bullpen needed a day like today. Wasn’t perfect by any means but it’s a step in confidence and ability

    I still don’t trust anyone to go over 1 inning regularly though outside of MAYBE smith

  11. Best part of this game is not having to imagine what the game might have been like of Seags was still out. Anyway, remember last year we were all like guys can you imagine if this offense just had a few starters who could regularly go 5-6 innings and then let the bullpen take over? Feels great doesn’t it!

  12. I can’t believe we went from IKF and Nick Solak as our Middle Infielders to Corey MF’n Seager and MVParcus SilverSluggeremien. Like holy shit. Oh and they bought the best rotation and baseball too

  13. First we take the series against the O’s, now our bullpen pulls it together, AND the twins are winning right now? The only thing to make today better is if the twins push through.

  14. To make things even better, Gallo and the twins beat the Astros in extras. LFG!
