It's been too long without parodies.

Henry Henry.

He's the guy who always made you think about Rookie Carroca.

Man, how did Tylor Megill lose 10 games already?

New relief ace.

I've got an eye on you, Bender!

There's a minor monkey off a back.

They finish the job this afternoon and it might shed a few more.

Garrett had all three of his pitches working nicely there.

No way any of this will come back to bite them.

The offensive tap was shut off when Alonso went into his homerun trot prematurely and barely made it into second.

Garrett for the eighth.

They're not planning to close with Walker.

It's very easy to believe he was a first-rounder.

I witnessed it.

That's two Fish hitting their first dongs of the year.

Keith didn't like the bullfight.

Hey!! Four runs in the first.

A few more innings like that would be helpful.

And when I write "a few," I'm thinking nine.

The $20 million man is hitting .216 this year.

I can read numbers. That's not what you wrote.

Punch, Nimmo, punch.

Ottavino throws six pitches for six strikes, getting three outs.

Yes, go to him to open the ninth.

I think the evidence suggests that Burger's cleats beat the throw, but his foot did not.

Ottavino coming on for the bottom of the eighth, which kind of suggests that we're going back to Díaz in the ninth.
