30/4 Game Thread Hancock v Anderson

[D-train]

Man I'm so glad we didn't trade for Josh Naylor this off season, we really dodged a bullet on that one.

Same with Christian Walker. I never got the allure of those guys. Edit: I see you were using Sarcasm with Naylor. lol

Turns out the Astro s were interested in signing polanco but he chose to return to Seattle. Why, you'd think he'd want to stay away from T-Mobile. Finally an off season move that worked. Its like Z signing Cruz

It has so far but the other one has been a horrific bust. Also Shenton is sucking in AAA.

I just posted a post from X on Polanco's stance change. Can everyone see it???

I may change my golf stance to more like that...

Jp has done well but find it funny tough lefty on the mound and lefty leading off. Hopefully he does well. Should be an easy mini sweep. No Polanco today at all since he can't play any field yet. Maybe late u can push Cal into catching maybe after the 6th.

Polanco can't hit Right handed. If it was a RHP they probably give Cal a full day off.

Don't worry Seth, Anderson has thrown an 87.5mph fastball for his first pitch in 4 of his 5 starts this season, the other was an 89 mph fastball.

The data buffs will know this so its guaranteed JP will swing at it. He's actually better against lefties in his career to date, although a little worse this season.

11/1 for JP first place appearance to be XBH. That's where my 5 GBP has gone for this one.

Garver and Solano batting 5th and 6th. Maybe they'll get a few hits on accident today. Feels like we're punting this one.
