Home run *****es

My damn proxy I'm using has frozen during every home run so far.

Fowler

The link I posted at the bottom of pg 9 is working really well

And im actually pretty excited to watch our new "11th man" Alex Presley.

I would love for Fowler to be nicknamed double black for his scotch choice, but I know for sure the masses would claim us as racist.

Cosart is absolutely filthy so far. 5 weak ground outs and a strike out.

I was behind this guy in line to get food last night.
His favorite player? LJ Hoes, of course.

Fowler with a HR and a triple so far in his first two ABs tonight!

Finally a thread that Smith and I can agree on all season

I heart Dexter Fowler

Good inning to get out of! 2-0 going to the bottom of the 5th.

Do we really not have another 3B worth a damn somewhere? I think that's 4 Ks for Dominguez already this year

Geez, our bullpen likes to make things interesting...

Fowler has our only two his so far, I think we're going to need something more from the offense to win. Maybe it is just last year, but any lead under 4-5 runs doesn't feel safe with our bullpen.

It's one and a half games into the season. Chill. Dominguez didn't have a good game yesterday, but Kuroda has been dealing tonight for the most part. Fowler is the only one in the lineup with a hit. That, and Dominguez is a great defensive 3B. He's going to be a good player for us this year.

Triple from Grossman! Graduated from cy-fair with him.

Hopefully you are right but he has never impressed me. Granted, I don't watch all the games but he just seems meh at best (of course he's not the only one you could say that about on this team).

I guess the better question is... Is he the current long term vision at 3rd or are we expecting one of then minor league guys to fill that spot in a year or two?

He's a plus defensive player that hit 21 HRs for us last year. I think he is part of the picture over the next few years. We have a few prospects, but no one that I see coming through in the immediate future.

He only hit like .240 or something last year, but was still slugging over .400. He was under 100Ks last year I believe, so I would just give him some time. If you're into advanced stats, he was a 2.4 WAR player last year, which makes him somewhere about your average MLB starter at 3rd. I would probably predict him finishing about middle of the pack again and for most of his career, which is fine with me. He maintains a WAR around 3 with about 20HRs and I am happy with him, not every position can be an All-Star.

Fair enough, didn't realize he ended up with 20+ HRs last year. We shall see how he does in the next few weeks

Yep, and if he somehow completely bombs this season, then I would see us trying to make a move at 3B in the Free Agent market. There's a few pretty good names out there next year we could make a run at. We also just drafted a guy that is in Lancaster right now, but you are looking at 3-4 years before he is making serious contributions if he pans out, IMO, which is why we would make a move in the FA market.

Our bullpen is making things interesting again...

I think Dominguez heard you talking about him Gougler...

lol

Matty D say BOOM!!

Showing some power so far this year

Definitely wasn't expecting 4 HRs through 2 games, that is for sure.

It's only the Yankees (seriously)

Harold Reynolds just said Dominguez is the best player on the club and will someday be an All Star.

If all he needs is me talking **** then I'll do it every night

And I'll gladly eat crow for that backfiring in my face

Only 3 more outs!

He's getting up there in age though. He's even older than George Springer.
