I've never seen a player so relieved after a hit

Caught his interview with Emily Jones. She kind of joked if he was waiting for a slam to get the HR and he deflected in a real way just wanting to do well. Would not gloat about club sweep and getting to 500.
I get she is into the entertainment side and wants to come across as a pal but he is a pro and won’t be baited

 

[Kelleyman]

Yeah the internet is all over Marcus S for finally getting his 1st HR. I hope he goes on a tear

 

[Kelleyman]

No Willie

 

[saddles]

No Willie

He has missed a lot of time lately.

 

[Kelleyman]

Just to keep yuu guys abreast

A HR from Josh Smith last night and a double in his first at bat this evening. Also this from Scott Lucas today:

Josh Smith's homer was only the 15th-hardest of the night, but he angled it perfectly. Smith can get a hold of a pitch, but his expertise is softer liners that are nearly always hits, if not the extra-base variety. By my count, he has a team-leading 26 balls in play of that type with an .808 average.

Trevino has a higher OPS than Joey or IKF

Shitty players get benched

Smith is playing in CF tonight with Taveras in RF.

And now a triple in Smith's second at bat. The kid has heated up.

Ideal lead off hitter IMO

 

[Nightcrawler]

Man I’m so glad we made that gallo trade with the Yankees. Duran, smith, and Otto could all end up being good ones.

I hope so but will just have to see how it plays out.

 

[saddles]

Josh adds a single in his third at bat. He is a HR short of a cycle. I believe his last at bat last night was his HR.
