That's awesome
Glad you got to have that experience.
I think the W will be VERY tough tonight. The dodgers simply have to win. Our team continues to surprise, though.
I had just said to my girlfriend a second before the commentator uttered a similar line "I love watching Nunez bat, he loves to try and hit a bad ball" then...
He's not coming here. It doesn't make sense financially for a start. We aren't going to the money or length of years he's going to get. It actually made more sense if we could get him for a reasonable price as a rental.
I still think it's a crazy idea. He's the best RF in MLB and there's more chance of a bad injury at 2nd base. There's no reason to move him long term.
But for 3 games to get JD's bat in there? Sure.
I'd be tempted to play Betts at 2nd. He played there when I watched them play the Yanks. He didn't look out of place at all. Otherwise it's likely to be JBJ for two, Beni for one.
DD''s moves have been bang on this season. Kinsler was a solid pick up. Pearce and Evoaldi have been brilliant pick ups. Go the Midas touch this year.
I've also got a MAJOR man-crush on Brasier.
I never underestimate the stupidity of people's emotions when it comes to sport. Nothing might happen. Or they might have 4 mules pull his body apart on the pitching mound. It's a toss up.
