Niko Goodrum at the plate, Niko Kavadas playing first base, a flashback to last year’s minor league season.
We got Niko with Lou on the mic, too.

Either the pitches were not tempting at all, or they were right down the middle.
Not exactly true, bombs aside. He looked really good on the K, first time back I'm not too concerned. Yet.

Pulling him was definitely a pitch count thing, he and Cora were smiling almost like they knew the questions that are coming, it's got the potential to be panic fuel. :) No injury issue at all.

Regardless, in the aftermath, off come the wheels...

The Paris of the 80s
Pretty moonshot.

This talk about how big these guys are compared to the 70s is weird considering the chemistry experiment freak shows roaming baseball fields in the 90s and 00s. Duran is a runt compared to some of the players from that era.

Edit: also Duran's hair is hilarious.

To be honest, he didn't make much of an impression on me. He was called up, he went back down, he was on the 15-day IL list, etc. He wasn't as bad as Llovera, so there was that.
He was the 2nd best regular on the staff by FIP, 3rd by ERA and xFIP, and that includes a single catastrophic appearance in September that accounted for over 20% of his hits and 25% of his runs. He didn't have the hype but he was excellent.

I think the roster is too big for this 7 inning game. They will probably try to get everyone in so we'll see the stars only for a few innings.

I have to wait until 3PM (watch recording) with the dumb carrier rules (must be on home wifi to watch live)

Me too, this seems like the best game of ST.
People must hate 7 innings because you have to leave by the 5th to avoid traffic.
Also it’s 85

But yeah the best game of the ST to me too, certainly on per inning/minute basis.

I am so loving this game! All the guys we love in the system in one game on a beautiful day at our beautiful JetBlue park!

Chad Tracy does not have the voice I would have expected from a professional baseball coach. I want to listen to him read books through my phone as I fall asleep.

Bobby just hit a bomb off Corbin Burnes on an 0-2 pitch on the big field.
