#TPT Time

Let me know if this messes up your thread. mj and I can take it offline

The team never gives up.  Small sample size, there is no such thing as clutch etc., but you just know if it is close at the end they are going to come back and win so many times.   

My early observations:

I am concerned about Zunino.   #tpt has has had catchers that excel at defense and handling pitching staffs so watching him has been a shock at times.  He cost Bieber a win.

I know it is early, but also based on his second half last season I am starting to get concerned about Josh Bell.  He has been walking, but he his swing looks awful.    My sports agent chum said when he was signed that he has talked to scouts and agents that think he has a slow bat and is only effective against bad pitching.

Again, it is early, but if Straw keeps up his performance at the plate that is huge.   His catch to essentially save the game yesterday was amazing.  

is fun to watch

Forecasted: 6-4
Actual: 6-4

Tough dropping 2 of 3 at home but Seattle is a good team and yesterday's win was an all-timer.

Next up: Yankees at home. Win 2 of 3 to climb to 8-5. Tough pitching match up in second game.

A weak grounder to second that required a bad throw and an exceptional slide in order to be safe is not inspiring

He's been known to enjoy the 12th South Area sometimes.
