That one surprised me a lot.

Finally gonna have some lefty bats in the lineup.

Now just have to get the pitchers to keep the score under 20 and we may have a shot.
For the record - I'm not a huge fan of Gallo. Not only is he dead, he's also a HUGE swing and miss guy. Tons of unproductive outs for a team that desperately needs left handed offense.

But Rizzo makes Gallo a little more palatable, imo.

Cashman is being slick as hell with getting these teams to pay the rest of the salaries. He may be paying a bit more in talent but he's improving the roster and staying under the luxury cap.


Fucker is going to end up snagging a starting pitcher before it's said and done.

I don't know if it will be enough but damn... Only Aaron Boone can fuck it up.
Do they even care about the luxury tax?

A lot.

Hal isn't like George. He's happy to spend but he has a budget that he wants to, and does a good job of, stick to.


Now... That being said... If he was certain that it would result in a world series win he'd say fuck it and add another $200mill in salary in a heartbeat. But if it's questionable he's much more restrained than his brother or dad.

Good to see it's working.
I'm an advocate of a min/max cap.

Baez will fit right in with that group of assholes.

Note...My hatred of the Mets dates back to when Ray Knight suckerpunched Eric Davis.

I hold grudges.

Hopefully he suits up tonight so Garrett can put one in his earhole.
That would be awesome!

Time to start pitching him up and in frequently
I don't know why they haven't.
Zero up-and-ins during this run.

Lorenzen is active now, so if a ball sniffs Votto's chin he's probably throwing bombs. That might be it.

He's no Sex Chicken @Sex Chicken but you can tell he works out.

The crazy thing is he's decided to try to start hitting for power. He's always been an amazing contact hitter, he's just trying to launch the ball more. It would have been interesting to see how many home runs he could have hit if he decided to sacrifice contact for power in his prime.
100%
Like 3 weeks ago he said "I'm gonna start hitting bombs"

Votto is on another level.

Lorenzen just tossed 8 pitches in an inning and got 3 outs. He broke 2 bats and struck a dude out.

The rest of the NL is so FUCKED. We are healthy and VOTTO STILL BANGS.

They just gave Votto some chin music.
Eventually walked him. Nothing hittable.

He's gonna start getting the Bonds treatment.
