First time we hit 3 Bombs in the 1st inning in 20 years. Boone and Cameron went back to back twice in the first in Camerons 4 HR game.

Man, Frazier has been hitting bombs lately. Only problem is he has track power. Should be 7-0 right now.
Frazier's plate discipline with Kelenics strength would be lethal.
They need to merge them like in that movie "The fly" :D

I don't think I've ever seen a position player resurrect his career the way Matt Carpenter has. The last two seasons he's been a horrible - 0.9 WAR player and this season he's at 2.5 and hitting bombs.
Ken Rosenthal did a great deep dive on him in the offseason in an article I read on the Athletic. You might be able to find it if you search thru Ken's work on that site.

Basically, Carpenter called up Goldschmidt and went to his swing clinic/coaches and got himself completely broken down and rebuilt. Then he switched bats to the puck knob. He put in the work, took thousands of swings, and the guy is back. It's a helluva story

Frazier tags it, but doesn't have enough power to get it out at Yankees stadium.
I'm telling you, even after this "hot" streak his OPS is a horrid .625.

We already did it this yr in Oakland. I think Winker, Suarez and Frazier went back to back to back

Frazier's walk rate is about league average. I would merge JK and Santana who has a 16% walk rate.

They did. I was going to say he needed to say first inning, but it somehow changed.

Castillo looks good in the dark navy and gray uni. Love it! Hope we extend him 4-5 years in the offseason.
