Watching the replay...
Rios is going to steal 30 bases.
Sal had back to back 7 pitch plate appearances. I would bet that it's the first time that's ever happened. He homered and walked. His approach and plate discipline have improved immensely.
Hosmer worries me. He's still got every bad habit he's ever had. He will get by on talent, but I don't see how he can be great with his combination of lack of patience and ridiculously long stride, and he's shown no inclination to change.
Sal has been taking an absolute pounding. He's been hit by at least a dozen foul tips already behind the plate, and he's fouled another half a dozen off himself in the box.
I don't know if this is a great team, but they look like a team that thinks they're great. They've got a little but of "we're better than you, and we know it" way about them.
