Manny didn't even have to swing to get on base

Kyle Freeland has big “I have a cache of guns in a storage unit on my property in Idaho” vibes.

Reiss Knehr where have you been all my life

We’ve looked Knehr and far for a pitcher like this
— HJ Preller (@HJPreller) July 10, 2021

Knehr must be thinking "This is the defense they play in the big leagues?" Both Grisham and Pham misplayed very catchable balls, each costing a run in a 2-0 game.

Only giving up 2 thru 4 seems like a win.

Grish is gonna make a bunch of all-star teams

RAISE THE FENCE
— Sam Neher (@SamNeher24) July 10, 2021

Manny is just so consistent. It’s professional baseball at the highest level.

A ground ball to deep 2B please
— Oscar (@oterr_17) July 10, 2021

The one time we could actually use a sorry little ground ball to 2B and he Ks ???
— Eric (No Longer Miserable) (@MiserableSDFan) July 10, 2021

That's my All-Star 1B.

Death, taxes and Adams hitting a batter
— N. Z. (@Taterz1021) July 10, 2021

Feel like people don’t trust him because he’s effectively wild, but he’s seriously nails. He’s so good. He also looks like he’s gonna fight six guys in a country bar in lakeside in about two hours

Melancon threw SIX pitches in the bullpen while his music was playing on the big screen. I have never seen that before! They had to re-spool “Thunderstruck”
