So uh.

Brewers road record: 5-1. Their home record: 2-5. The away includes a 3-1 series against the NL Central leaders.

I'll take it :shrug:

(My official hopes for this year: as good or slightly better than last, which with this group seems very possible)

A 3 game sweep makes a big difference in my perception of the Mariners. Still not out of the woods, but looking much better.

If it's so easy it should have been no problem to put it in your post :v:

Also googling Mariners highlights just now got me a bunch of stuff about Paxton or stuff from last year so it didn't help.

That was a cool catch though, thanks for the link.

Probably the biggest positive I am hanging on is he seems to have a great eye and doesn't swing out of the zone.

I just can't wait until the end of the season, when we can finally have a new record holder in nearly every stat.

Just project .700 .786 1.500 2.286 out over the entirety of the season and imagine what other amazing numbers might follow, and you've got 2017 Alex Avila of the Detroit Tigers.

Eric Thames went to Korea and solved baseball. He good.
code:
 BA      OBP     SLG     OPS
.368	.455	.921	1.376
That's not counting the double and HR he has hit so far tonight.

Have you seen how huge he is now? He did not look like that on the Jays.

Do they do a lot of drug testing in Korea?

Eric Thames was big as heck on the Jays. Its why he couldn't play the outfield for poo poo.

http://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/eric-thames-of-the-toronto-blue-jays-hits-against-the-new-news-photo/144788401

Most of his pictures on getty are just rippling muscles while he swings or runs.

Is there a resident SAS cartoonist (other than Dave, he's real busy right now) or Photoshop wizard who can make me an otter with long flowing locks like Motter? I need it for Twitter and possibly an in-stadium fan sign. I would happily buy you a forums upgrade or something in return for an original Motter Otter cartoon.
