An easy kid to root for... kid is just living a dream!

He's provided just the spark we needed.
Lightning here

Nice play kid!

Maybe he's the shot in the arm this team needs.
This is why

We promote and play rookies

Nimmo!
Nimmo has nothing to do

Success or back to Wyoming
Hopefully one Michael Conforto is watching this  
Rob in Rockaway : 7/1/2016 9:54 pm : link
and preparing to up his game.
Nice to see Nimmo have some early success...  
Torrag : 7/1/2016 9:55 pm : link
...now let's hope the fanbase doesn't lose their mind like they did with Conforto. It's a game of adjustments and you won't really know what we have in the young man until the league gets a book and he is forced to make and execute his first set of corrections.
Hopefully

Nimmo and Conforto will be cornerstones on this team

We get a split at home and earned some confidence
Nimmo has the best smile in baseball

It's nice to see a rookie enjoying the game so much. You would probably be hard pressed to see more joy and enthusiasm on a little league field.

Love it. great to finally see some fight and fire out of these guys. Seems like they have been all or nothing this year offensively.
Good job Degrom

Let Seth Lugo mop up
Another Dom  
pjcas18 : 7/1/2016 10:54 pm : link
Smith HR tonight, he's got 8 on the season, a career high. 4 in his last 9 games.

Cheech 2-2 with a double. Sandy Busterson!
Damn...

Lugo hitting 97 mph. Nice.
Nice job tonight ...

Arrieta is coming off a bad start and Colon might be just what the doctor ordered to change up the pace with their hitters.

see a lot of Seth Lugo. He is the stinker to finish up blowouts.
this Smith  
pjcas18 : 7/2/2016 9:37 am : link
HR was absolutely crushed. he looks like a mini David Ortiz running the bases. I figured he'd slim down during the season, but doesn't look like it.

Smith bomb - ( New Window )
Not posting this because I regret the trade  
pjcas18 : 7/2/2016 9:53 am : link
just how awesome he's been:

Michael Fulmer:

8 - 2, 2.17 ERA, 12 starts, 70.2 IP, 52H, 25BB's 70K's, 1.09 WHIP, 3.51 FIP, 23 years old all season.

Rookie of the year in the AL first half?

He or Mazara seems like the contenders off the top of my head, probably missing someone.
Smith is still so young  
ZGiants98 : 7/2/2016 11:04 am : link
He doesn't need to hit 30 HR for me to be satisfied yet. I wanted to see signs that the power was there and developing and that's what we are getting. He hits 15 in Bing this year? I'm over the moon. If Cheech can just get over his mental throwing issues the first round 4 pack is really killing it across the board.
The more I watch Smith  
pjcas18 : 7/2/2016 11:08 am : link
the more I think added weight might be good.

Instead of the thin-ish 1b, maybe he's more the Mo Vaughn, Ortiz, Fielder, Balboni type. and with the weight will come more power. And it's not like you need to have a marathon runners body to play 1B.

pack on the pounds Dom.

I've actually thought that too. He isn't tall. Not many 6'0 guys end up hitting 30 HR. The extra weight around the gut might give him a little more torque. ;)
Well deserved

Smith officially on fire, HR's again. 9 on the season, and 5 in 10 days.
