Arismendy is 4-for-5 today with a double, triple, 3 RBI, 2 R. Brb, buying a shirsey.

Mendy is the best, Jerry. The best.

Chuck hates the name "mendy" so from now on he shall only be referred to as Mendy.

Works for me.

Soler and Bryant with home runs last night.

FWIW, I've seen the group of Alacantra/Baez/Bryant/Soler/Russell/Almora/Schwarber referred to as "The Manificent Seven", which might be selling McKinney short.

They can be the Manificent 8, too.

Or we could just not create group names for them at all.

I mean seriously, what's the point of fun anyway?

If that's fun for you you're AN IDITO.

Not sure I ever claimed otherwise.

Regardless of what you want to name them:

Rizzo - 24
Castro - 24
Soler - 22
Bryant - 22
Alcantara - 22
Schwarber - 21
Baez - 21
Russell - 20
Almora - 20


This is going to be fun for so long.

Plus whoever they add next year - they're currently sitting in the 5th spot in next season's draft.

First career HR for Arismendy today. He really doesn't want to go back to Iowa.
