- Corey Seager hit this with the same 103 exit velocity and 25 degree launch angle at Globe Life Field and it traveled 431 feet.
00:00Barrel: Manny Machado (35) [SD] off Jacob Latz [TEX]: 103.1 mph, 25 degrees (Flyout - 384 ft) - Interesting to see Fermin calling location this way. Gives nothing away to hitter.

I really don’t have any numbers to back up this statement but I believe Jose Iglesias has become a clutch demon. He always seems to get it done.- Wild juxtaposition.

Replying to @Letters2AJOnly the padres and wtf would you not challenge back? - Cronenworth made two incredible defensive plays to take away sure hits. Worked enormous pitch counts when he faced the unfavorable platoon matchup. Teed off first pitch when finally facing righty reliever. Maximizing his talents. Winning player.
- This time doing little things to deke the hitter:
00:0000:07Interesting to see Fermin calling location this way. Gives nothing away to hitter. - Replying to @Letters2AJFrom the article this video was taken from, for the (many) replies including @DanClarkSports who don’t know that relaying signs is legal:
- Wasn’t an -easy- play, but imagine Machado feels this play needs to be made. Directly led to two runs, difference so far.
00:00 - Series win. Beat two of the best starting pitchers in all of baseball. Home field advantage on full display. Rest for Miller and Suarez. Deep lineup getting it done without starting CF (get well soon Merrill). Keep the faith.
- Beat the Giants ace. Rest for Morejon and Adam. Not all heroes wear capes (Giants ears bleeding 💀) Darvish giving length is just what rotation needs. Keep the faith.
- Suarez six out save on only 20 pitches is also a small win
