I was thinking that as the game went along today. They’d only scored one run but it just felt different. It wasn’t the “meh” brand of baseball we are use to seeing for the last 2 years. They were trying to make something happen. They were hustling in the outfield to make plays. Even when Mikolas made his bonehead play there was some player telling him very loudly no no no.

I mean that's balls of solid steel right there. Not sure it's the 'smart' play but when it's a guy with Bader's speed, it's a worthwhile attempt. If nothing else, they're not just sitting around and waiting for the 3 hits it would take to score a run.

Put pressure on the defense and good things can happen. We have this speed now. Use it as a weapon. They even started Carp to stay out of the double play with Molina.
