In case anyone missed this.

First of many. Good job, young man!

 

Also, if you watch Sano's triple, he almost does a Ben Revere somersault on the way to third.

Silent treatment is great, but check out what the Cubs did for Kris Bryant.

I was "thinking it" because of who was throwing and the situation, but Bert practically called it just before it happened- the pitch he hit was 96 MPH, just after he had laid off of a 97 MPH FB just off the plate.  

 

And good interview after the game.  Buck's been working hard with Bruno and the first results showed today.  Not surprisingly, it doesn't sound like he's getting down on himself, at all.  Probably has yet to completely turn the corner and "flip the switch"... but by July of next year, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that he will be regularly considered for MLB Player of the Month honors.

Protect that hammy, Miggy!

Was neat to see that first homer today.

In the postgame, Suzuki revealed that Buxton called the HR just before the at bat too.

Sano is hustling out triples and Buxton is hitting dingers, I don't even know this team anymore.
