Smyly kept half a world series winning roster scoreless for three innings. Kind of impressed honestly
Well well well… there was a lot of Smyly hate earlier and he showed up to tell y’all what’s up. I still don’t think he’s consistently a good starter but at least he still has it in him.
Wicks is still killing it. Love this kid, I think he’s gonna be pretty good this season.
Busch had some great swings. I really hope he can play like this during the year. It’d make me a feel a lot better about not having a true 3B.
I’m excited for opening day against these guys, I hear a few guys may be out (Seager, Lowe, Jung) but they’re still putting a good team out there. Langford looks juiced too lol
Good Left on Left slug from Busch
We won the WS in part due to an incredible infield (at the time). Give me shaw, Swanson, hoerner and Busch for a while and let’s win another one
