If this were the NFL, they would penalize and fine players for bat flips. Thank you, MLB, for doing most things right. Just need a salary cap so ultra-rich owners can't buy their way to the WS.

Cole Young saving the day again. That's a year of experience. No need to rush Colt Emerson up until after he finishes this season in the minors.

Nice way to close out the series and the road trip. Well earned day off/travel day tomorrow.

Cole Young is en fuego, once again coming through late in the game to drive in key runs. Hitting .500 lately (11 for 22), but most importantly hitting in key, game changing/saving situations. Way to go kid.

Kirby with a quality start, but not the win. Brash shrugging his shoulder ofter just a couple of pitches. 130 games left, best to get him out of there for a look. Hopefully not serious, fingers crossed. Munoz doing what he does and slams the door after the offense took the lead in the top of the 9th.

What an incredible jump this year. 2B is taken care of for years. Man, he is a good all-around player. And SO clutch at the plate.

After a ton of one run losses, this team is FINALLY starting to resemble last year. No panic, clutch late game hits, etc.
Any word on Brash? I didn't get a chance to listen to much of the post-game.

Cole Young is looking like one of the best second basemen in the league.

#1 in baseball for defensive WAR.

Tied for 5th in overall WAR. (and I'm pretty sure that hasn't been updated to account for today's game yet)

Well looks like Logan is on his way to yet another 5 inning start with 90 plus pitches
I've been bringing this up for years, for all the talent he has, he doesn't go deep very often, it's mind boggling to call him an ace
