Boy, this lineup will be great fun...  
manh george : 4/23/2018 6:11 pm : link
when Stanton and Sanchez find their swings, and even more if Bird gets healthy. Stanton has started hitting the ball hard, but still needs to work on his launch angle. I suspect that he needs to start his hands higher to get more drop to the contact point.
dear god did Judge  
RasputinPrime : 4/23/2018 7:25 pm : link
get fooled by a 91mph gimme down the pipe. That was bad luck.
GARY GARY!  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/23/2018 7:33 pm : link
2 out, 2 run double.
He didn't have launch angle  
RasputinPrime : 4/23/2018 7:34 pm : link
and smoked if off the top of the wall in deep LF-CF.
Hicks with an Ellsburian blast  
RasputinPrime : 4/23/2018 7:40 pm : link
3-0

Odorizzi looking gassed with 32 pitches already.
I thought an "Ellsburian Blast" was running into the CF wall

Hicks did that yesterday, except he didn't damage himself.
Superb D from Didi

Andujar simply cannot be stopped.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 4/23/2018 7:53 pm : link
Line Drive HR.
Wow Andujar is good  
dpinzow : 4/23/2018 7:53 pm : link
Always looks to hit line drives and this one went out
now that was freaky  
RasputinPrime : 4/23/2018 7:54 pm : link
MM reporting on how Andujar was hot and Didi pushing him on and gets interrupted with a lazerbomb.

4-0

11xbh and 3hr and counting. Ain't going nowhere.
ANDUJAR with a BOMB!!!!  
Dave in Hoboken : 4/23/2018 7:54 pm : link
Man, this kid is amazing!
Andujar may keep  
dune69 : 4/23/2018 7:54 pm : link
3rd base for the next ten years!!
Wow, Andujar  
section125 : 4/23/2018 7:55 pm : link
making me look stupid thinking he was swinging out of control. Glad he is doing it, too.
Andujar has arrived ! He's gonna be the .300 30 HR 100 RBI guy  
DennyInDenville : 4/23/2018 7:55 pm : link
Drury to the bench... ideally we can flip him for twice what we paid.

I love Drury but can't interrupt Andujar or Torres ABs more then Toe would

Brandon Drury is going to be a good bench bat the way things are going with Andujar. He's an above-average MLB hitter already with that approach to hit everything as a line drive
The other great thing about Andujar  
dpinzow : 4/23/2018 8:02 pm : link
is if he puts up a really big season as a rookie, we don't need to pay for Machado and you can instead spend that money on pitching

if that happens  
UConn4523 : 4/23/2018 8:08 pm : link
we wouldn't need Bryce either. Get a front line starter to pair with Severino and win a title.

That said I have no idea what front line starters will even hit FA, but if all the prospects keep playing well Harper and Machado would likely be contracts we don't need on the books.

As good as Bryce is, I think we need another big starter to pair with Severino in the future, regardless of how far we go this year

Or better yet Kershaw if he opts out:)
I love Machado  
bceagle05 : 4/23/2018 8:14 pm : link
but I've come around on the idea of spending all the money on pitching - starters AND relievers. Robertson's deal is up at the end of the year, and Dellin is Dellin - we'll need reinforcements.
i'd also be worried about Harper's  
UConn4523 : 4/23/2018 8:16 pm : link
durability long term. He's got a ton of miles for a 25 year old. I can see him rapidly declining at 30. I'd rather Machado if I had to pick, but I don't want either of them.
I think Patrick Corbin's in a walk year  
Mike from SI : 4/23/2018 8:25 pm : link
and has been lights out thus far. Probably can get him on a more reasonable contract than Kershaw.

And Kershaw will be 31 I think by next year and has missed time for back trouble a couple times...some risk there too, despite him being Kershaw

Hopefully, he keeps it up. Or something close to it!
Ugh

This started with Tanaka hitting a batter with 2 outs. Come on, dude.
OK, out of the inning.  
yatqb : 4/23/2018 8:52 pm : link
Time for Green soon.
Tanaka pitching  
section125 : 4/23/2018 8:52 pm : link
stupid right now, but gets Mauer to pop out. HBP, walk, single with two outs.
When Tanaka's splitter is on he's unhittable  
mfsd : 4/23/2018 8:54 pm : link
but IMO his secondary stuff isn't great anymore...his fastball is essentially a bp fastball right now. When he tries to cruise with a lead and cut back on throwing the splitter, he often starts getting hit in a hurry

true, but this was HBP, walk and single to Dozier after falling behind 3-1 in the count.
What a bomb!

Stanton!
Stanton

oh man Stanton crushed that ball!!!

yup you're right. I think part of it his concentration goes in and out sometimes too. The kind of guy who's often better with a 1 run lead than a 5 run lead
Andujar double

Andujar is tearing it up.

Andujar now leads the AL in multiple extra-base hit games - and he's been up what, a week?
I've been an Andujar skeptic  
bceagle05 : 4/23/2018 9:24 pm : link
but damn he looks great. Carries himself like he belongs, too.
Andujar’s hitting everything...junk balls aren’t getting him out  
mfsd : 4/23/2018 9:27 pm : link
easily anymore

And for our angst about Tanaka, he’s settled back down and looking good
That was a perfect pitch. Tanaka got screwed

Struck him out twice. Missed check swing that was well past the plate and the FB was a perfect pitch.
This umpire has lost  
section125 : 4/23/2018 9:39 pm : link
the strike zone. That is two or three strikes he called balls.
Perfect night for Stanton!  
mfsd : 4/23/2018 9:52 pm : link
But man the ump missed strike 3 against him there too. His strike zone has gone bye bye
Luckily, the ump has  
section125 : 4/23/2018 9:53 pm : link
still lost the plate. Stanton clearly out on that previous pitch and then the RBI single.
Gary just misses a HR  
Del Shofner : 4/23/2018 9:54 pm : link
for the second time tonight. He's getting his eye back.
