Javy looks like a natural out there in CF.

[Tigermojo]

Quite a performance by Olson.

[Sports_Freak]

Olson is doing this against a really good hitting team. Remarkable.

Aw man, you mean by listening to Dan and Bobby on the radio feed instead of Benetti on TV, I’m missing out on Indy Car talk? Darn.

First we had the non-communicating Paws and then we get a guy who drives in circles as fast as he can. People love Nascar but I never saw the point.

Tork is starting to bite a lot on the pitches outside

[Sports_Freak]

Tork with a Javy swing.

It’s a Dixie thing.

Pitcher has a rubber arm....actually looks like a noodle arm. He's a freak of nature.

[chasfh]

Reese Olson is pitching a masterpiece, and in fact, he is in a position to throw a Maddux here.

[Sports_Freak]

Is this the best Reese Olson pitched game in his career? Considering the opponent, it may be.

Here’s his best game so far:

https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/DET/DET202405140.shtml?__hstc=205977932.1377b18de91767275975f4a4ca4e5597.1732978134135.1745431473617.1745433887012.104&__hssc=205977932.4.1745433887012&__hsfp=3110353702

Eight innings, three hits, no walks, no runs, six strikeouts. And he got screwed out of the win because this was the offense before August 11.

Malloy again.  Sweeney gets home!

[chasfh]

Wow, that faceplant has got to be an error on Gonzalez in right field, right?

[IdahoBert]

Jay Hen!

This run is big because it gives Reese a few extra minutes to catch his breath for the eighth.

[Sports_Freak]

Joey Cora is gonna need TJ surgery pretty soon. 😅😅

[IdahoBert]

Wow, I just always assume Riley’s gonna strike out now but he makes it 4–0. 

[romad1]

we needed that extra RBI.  Now go get more.

Man, Javy is rocketing up the center field depth chart today!

OK...but that was a pretty bad Marlin team. This is a very, very good San Diego team. Apples to oranges...

[chasfh]

Wow, just a phenomenal start by arguably the lowest-profile guy in the rotation.

Fair point!

[RatkoVarda]

if they ever get to full strength (or almost full strength as every team has injuries) they could be really, really good
