Something tells me that Baez had a big time plate of Catfish Fiddlers before his debut yesterday. That may account for his power surge.
I wonder if Pugs arranged for him to have them before the game?
Over in the AL a total of 4 teams are tied for the final ALWC berth and all 4 of those teams are 3 games under .500. To add insult to injury 2 of those teams, the Blue Jays and Orioles, are tied for last place in their division.
I wonder if Pugs arranged for him to have them before the game?
Have not met the Boston Bomber(Joshua Baez)yet, Rat. But I encourage everyone to eat at least 2 helpings of catfish fiddlers a week. Wheaties cereal used to be the breakfast of champions, but catfish fiddlers have surplanted Wheaties for that coveted distinction. You know what if one were to sit down for din-din and devour both a heaping plate of the fiddlers followed by a large bowl of Wheaties? It makes sense that this was exactly the pregame meal that Baez consumed today. I don’t know about you guys, but I know exactly what I’m having for din-din tomorrow.
I’ve watched the replay of the 3 Baez taters numerous times now and what really stands out is the manner in which he attacked all 3 of those pitches from Boyd. He really pounced on the baseball as if he was angry at it without overswinging. I don’t want to get too starry eyed, but it looked to me like the young man’s bat gets started and through the zone in an awfully big hurry. I thought of Sheffield while watching the highlight reels.
There was a clip of one of the homers where it looked like a big long swing like is typical of minor leaguers who put mistakes in the parking lot, but who get owned by ML pitching. Not saying that is what he is, just one look at one swing. The thing that stood out to me is the good eye and swing discipline. I wasn’t expecting that based on what we were hearing and told to expect. The big swing types have to commit early, so it has me kind of confused after 1 game of seeing him.

Blaze Jordan (R) 3BI wonder how long Crooks will continue to catch for StL?
I know there are prospects breaking down his neck.
