White cannot lay off those high pitches. That might have worked in AAA, but I don't think it's going to fly up here.

Has anyone in here actually been to AT & T Park? It looks like the water level from the bay just over the fence in right is WAY higher than field level. Is it? Never noticed this before but a pregame angle, and one just a second ago, certainly gave it that appearance.

Bregman and Yuli refused to chase.

They ended up with walks so people scanning the agate won't know, but those were seriously high quality at bats.

Julia asked Charlie Morton how it felt surpassing his career high in strikeouts in a season. Charlie didn't seem to realize it. "Oh, really? Sweet. Sweet."

Contrast those ABs with Fisher’s.

Compiled Marwin HR calls.

The Astro Radio call is fantastic. Ford and Sparks are so good.
