Not that gold gloves matter that much, but it's pretty cool to see all the gold around the infield when they do the defense at the beginning of the broadcast.

Speaking off..... Come Belt, get your shit together. The rest of the infield is waiting for you to win one.

More evidence of his complete worthlessness.

He has some Pence effort in him. Pence plays at 110% on every play. Mac looks like he plays at about 105% every play. I can get used to that.

Apparently he retooled his swing, lowered his hands and added a leg kick

See here:

Here's Mac Williamson's new swing:

Here's his swing from last year (looking for a side view somewhere):

Interesting.....

I mean losing sucks ass, so that probably didn't help either. Definitely got the "going through the motions" feel.

Kinda explains the coaching staff shuffle. If the clubhouse was lost, they HAVE to hit the reset button.

Strickland's breaking ball looking good this evening.

Phil Nevin must have been disastrous. He's been known as a hard ass, and I have good intel that he's a jerk.

@calsnowskier , I was trying to link directly to the post I made about it. Wasn't trying to be snarky.

Nice clean inning for Strickland. Some good defense and two home runs! Great game tonight.

Jesus, I didn't even realize it was the 9th. What is this, I'm supposed to be notified with multiple base runners that it's the final inning?

Maybe Strickland forgot it was the 9th as well.

4-of-5, two series wins in a row? I like it.

Now I can rest easy tomorrow and just enjoy Scherzer pitch.

Shhhhhhh

It was funny as hell.

"Wait, why is everyone coming out to shake my hand? Aweee, you guys got me good this time!"

4 out of 5, vs legit teams...Mac has lit a fire under the team and the pitching has stayed extremely good. And still no Smith, Bum, Melancon. Feeling excited (even though we are 11-12)

 

[msgkings322]

Oh, and FYWW!

 

[calsnowskier]

Mac brought the Mojo with him. 4-1 since his arrival. And he has 3 long flys.

Still some tinkering to be done to this team (Duggar added to the OF and MAYBE Slater inserted as a 4th?, Bum and Smith getting back, MAYBE Melancon doing SOMETHING), but this team looks like it has potential. Amazing what 1 guy going from shit to decent and another guy getting inserted into the lineup can do.
