I think it was Tigerscowboy or something like that.

Ah, yes. That was him.

5 home runs in this inning. 5

Only the 8th time in MLB modern history that's been done.

More rare than a perfect game.

Yordan just missed hitting his second home run that inning which would have ser the all time record at 6. It wasn’t quite high enough to clear the big green monster. He had to settle for a single.

Curious how they play Yordan and Tucker's contract situation! I think they both need to be locked up long term

By that point, Verlander, Gurriel, and Brantley will be off the books.

Tucker turned down their extension offer last week

I expect them both to be in the $20-25MM per year range, hopefully for 5 or more years each!

Sending 4 to the game today. They will be by the Astro's dugout...

Beating the nut grabbers is so satisfying.

Tucker is much more likely to be locked up long term. DH only guys that can’t really play the field and already have bad knees are hard
To give big contracts to.

Incorrect. Alvarez is a very good left fielder and plays there a lot. His knees were repaired quite a while ago. He is fast. Look it up.

Oh by the way, ChaCha has a Nono thru 5

I jinxed it 😂

I have. He has played about 35% of the games there so far this year. That is t a lot. About a quarter of the games there last year. He has progressed to below average. He isn’t better than 35 year old Brantley. He is probably 26 or 27 years old so he is unlikely to get better defensively.

Tucker is a better baseball player both short and long term.
