   1. Good Polanco is fun to watch.

      Now 2020 looks like the outlier with 2019 and 2021 the norm. He kept his lower strikeout rate from 2020 but then also managed to up his walk rate closer to 2019.

      1. maybe he just likes odd-numbered years.

         1. Not liking 2020 is a pretty non-controversial stance.

            1. All too quickly turning into not liking 202x.

2. Omar Minaya might be the new inning eater

   1. He has a fondness for at least two of the three true outcomes

   2. *or Juan

3. Am I the only one who has never warmed to Beau Burrows?

   1. I wish he was a quarter as good as Cincy QB Joe Burrows

4. 👀👀👀👀👀

5. I'm hoping Josh isn't being brought in to be the designated DP again...

   1. HORRIBLE third strike call

6. Ump with a wide zone today.

   1. Probably running late to a Skyline Chili meal

      1. Or...from?

7. Welp, we can lean on Jose can tie it up in the 9^th, I guess

8. Arraez on base 5 times today.

   .310/.375/.399 for the season

   .350/.395/.479 since coming back from the IL in mid-June (33 games)
