8/12/21 Going for a first-place tie with Rockycola game thread

[TraderGary]

Fraley loves to complain to the ump even when the pitch was clearly in the strike zone. Hate that.

Also, he's obviously not a power threat, and the Rangers were still using the shift against him, with the left side wide open. Why would he not even try to take the ball that way?

Well I guess that didn't age well either.

Finally got my boy out to his first game and Ty France gave him a ball.

Wow, nice!

Sweet. I knew France was a solid dude! Thanks for sharing!

Two HR's on the day for the M's. One from JP and one from Fraley. What are the odds.....

Yeah he has been striking out a lot but he is definitely a power threat. 8x more HRs than Bauers.

Childhood buddy of my son-in-law-to-be, really good kid.

It's gonna really hurt when they trade France for a bag of peanuts with another five years of control.

The guy who served them up has given up 33. Luckily the modern game will prevent him from reaching Bert Be Home Blyleven's record of 50.

Funny how the numbers for this nobody Rangers pitcher nearly mirrors our own "Ace."

Days like today are exactly why paying attention to home/road splits matters.

Yeah, we don't put up many runs in Seattle with our offense.

Neither do other teams.
