With that HR from Garlick, he now has 9 HR in 108 career AB against LHP, which comes out to a HR in every 12 ABs....which is pretty nuts.

With that HR from Garlick, he now has 10 HR in 110 career AB against LHP, which comes out to a HR in every 11 ABS....which is slightly more nuts.

I know Shane was rolling, but the combo of them being the Rays + being careful with pitchers, I was somewhat surprised they let him throw to Garlick a 3rd time.

Well ... I think I may wait a bit since we've just been hit with a tornado warning ...

Wow, best game of Garlick's career here?

Alas, it's still in the oven!  Almost done though.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Garlick!

[notoriousgod71]

McClanahan must be a vampire because Garlick KILLS him.

I have a pic of a positive COVID test you can send to your boss.

It's in your best interest, safety wise or whatever, to continue to watch the game.  

You need a better agent that'll get you an understudy every night!

We test every week as it is ... 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I hope we win!

I want a picture of the directors face when you hand them a positive Covid test with the name "Snotboogie" on it.

I was trying to search Babe Ruth's splits, but all that came up was this:

I think the Rays pitcher should be told they are suppposed to be in the strike zone, not outside it.

I guess I'll add groin pull to the list of discussion points at my doctor appointment this week.  This hurts just looking at it!

well, this is exactly why we have him on the roster. Kyle, you have one job: destroy lefties. anything else is gravy.

[IndianaTwin]

With Mitch in Texas, can we be pumped about having Garl Sauce?

Am I the only person freaked out that Lowe and Lowe are pronounced differently??

Pretty low of them. 

[stringer bell]

Apparently, Garlick does crush lefties. 

[Winston Smith]

I was going to say can't the front office find a  right hand outfield bat better than the .120 hitting Garlick. But I won't I'll save that for another day.

[Mill1634]

Celestino seems to be a good 4th OF option. Puts the ball in play, has some decent speed, and plays good OF at all 3 positions.
