Ichiro doesn't make an error there.
Ben Clemens
12:35
Bregman is a lot of fun, I like the heel role he plays quite a bit
12:36
Also yeah he's just awesome
12:37
I don't really feel comfortable judging catchers' blocking skills, but that looked awful by Grandal

Bregman is like a youth pastor trying to play the heel

Trout doing Trout things and Sox/Angels are tied at 3.

I went to the University of Nebraska with Aaron Bummer. I can assure you, he doesn't like the jokes about his last name.
Ben Clemens
12:38
That's cool, and also I didn't need to hear that story to know that
If your name's Bummer, you've definitely heard it enough
Kevin Goldstein
12:38
Not the debut that Adam Kolarek had in mind.
Bobby K
12:39

Chocolatier
Jake Mailhot

Phil White

J.B. Wendelken is a cobbler
Ben Clemens
12:40
Versatile name as it turns out
Phil White
12:40
initials "J.B." get you into the artisan class pretty easily

Tobacconist

I get being excited when somebody plunks an Astros as a base emotional response, but I don't understand it when that Astro is Yordan, who didn't become an Astro until 2019.
Ben Clemens
12:41
I just don't think they're thinking it through that much
Kevin Goldstein
12:41
Rooting for laundry....
Ben Clemens
12:41
Yordan is clearly not a part of it, but yeah
He's an Astro so
Phil White
12:42
If you perceive it like an intentional walk, it makes strategic sense
Ben Clemens
12:42
Upton looks washed so far tonight
And I say that knowing he broke up the no hitter
BJ Upton
12:43
Let me tell you about washed
Kevin Goldstein
12:44
When you walk Yuli Gurriel, you know you're having location issues.
BJ Horseman
12:45
Let *me* tell you about washed
Jake Mailhot
12:45
Matt Wisler, the man who only throws sliders, walks his first batter of 2021 on five straight sliders
Kevin Goldstein
12:45
That's actually a pretty great AB by Upton.
Ben Clemens
12:46
Yeah I feel like I have to take back what I said about him
He did get gifted a ball, but still
John Jaso Jingle Heimer Schmidt
12:47
Bummer's outing has been quite a..... poor and unfortunate performance.
Duhawks
12:49
No swings and misses from the underrated reliever. I am now basing my personal evaluation of him on one outing.
