Rendon with a bomb off Tarpley. He is such an underrated 3B.

He may be underrated to the generic baseball fan but those who play fantasy know he's a stud.

Tulo bomb.

2-1

off Sanchez. Man if he can stay healthy and perform until we get Didi back.

2-1

.

...I am forced to watch a game with another team's booth. It's amazing how bizarre some of them are.

Predictions for the season:

1) Team leader in Batting Average?
2) Team leader in ERA?
3) Team leader in HR?
4) Team leader in WAR?

not looking sharp. The velo sitting at 96mph.

off the fence.

4-2

The Nats booth really is horrendous. I can't stand these guys. I had to put music on over the game.

Yes good to see Bird have a normal injury and come back in normal time and continue with and opposite field hit off the wall

Stanton hits 52 HR + Judge leads team with a Top 5 in the league WAR?

That would be fun.

I really do expect a huge year out of those 2.

I feel like Stanton/Judge are going to be very, very close in power if both play all year.

I kinda intentionally zagged just a little there because I think most people are going to peg Judge to be the HR leader.

But I think both guys are going to be around ~45 if all goes right.

Should be a great year for the twin towers - just give me 150+ from each and the numbers will be there.

Judge has much better plate discipline and is the better hitter - I definitely can see Giancarlo mashing 50 though.

Pumped for baseball season!

Love the way he is going opposite field

the improvement to his approach year 1 to 2 i’m not sure I’ve ever seen a batter that knows how to strategize and work like him. I fully expect him to sustain the contact improvement he had but also make pitchers pay for mistakes more this year.

I’m also very hopeful that Stanton will ease up on himself his 2nd year here but the whole thing with his swing makes me very nervous. He seems to jittery psychologically, kind of the opposite of Judge. Like his head doesn’t do him any favors.
