  6. Wow what a quick game! Nice to see things starting to click a bit. Only one game back

  7. Gavin Lux showing the big blue they muffed it. Noelvi Marte redemption tour. Let’s fucking go, the boys are HOT.

  11. Martinez has really picked it up. That was some damn good pitching all around today.

  12. That was an excellent quality win. This team might just be *different*

    Good offseason pickups, resurgence of Marte playing to his potential and a new voice in the clubhouse. I’m excited

  17. Super excited for the boys are playing. Good at bats, good pitching and just solid right now. Now to pump the brakes slightly they’ve been doing this again bottom feeders of each of their division but you can only play the teams in front of you and right now they are handling business.

  18. I’ve been open saying this team is still 2 solid position players away from being a true contender after the offseason and through the first few weeks. I absolutely did not have Marte rounding out this way on my bingo card. Even if he falls off but manages to put up a season long .800 OPS that is MASSIVE for this team. That’s the equivalent of wheeling a trade for a $20m player at the deadline.

    Still need McLain to put it together. Need CES to come back and be at least an average hitter. Need Stephenson to come back and be solid. But man, the path is there and it looks more clear today than it has in a long time.

  21. Very disappointed that not enough fans recognized Pagans walk up music as Cody Rhodes theme song and they missed the chance to Whoa-oh along with me.
