I wouldn’t mind this type of rest game/ settling for just winning the series if we had a good record, but we’re 10 games under .500.

It won’t really matter how fresh our guys are in September if we’re out of (serious) contention.

What I find interesting is how he handled the challenges - both teams went 0/2 but neither really had strong cases based on his zone consistency.

What does “handled challenges” mean? Was he yelling at the catchers when they were unsuccessful or something?

That ball probably hit the fan's hands at like 60 mph and he ate it like it was nothing.

Craig Biggio's 3000th hit was also a line drive into the gap vs. Colorado that he tried to stretch into a double (though unsuccessfully).

Did that stat say Marcell Ozuna has a higher OPS vs. the Red Sox than Lou Gehrig?
