Ex Guards are the Best Guards {'24}

[BMAN]

Guy is using his custom bat that was given to him during birth to hit shit that hard evidently.

Looks like a right orbital fracture — tough break for Oscar.

Hope Oscar is OK. But as usual he chased a pitch way out of the zone so whatever happens is on him. That ball almost hit him.

From Yardbarker regarding the Rockies:

The MLB roster is completely devoid of any sort of impact talent and has few long-term building blocks. Only one player on the roster this season is projected to have a WAR of 2.0 wins this season, and that is outfielder Nolan Jones. A 2.0 WAR is nothing more than a league-average player.

With Mejia and Haase being released, Owen Miller and Oscar Gonzalez sent to the minors, and Mike Clevinger and Zach Plesac out of baseball, I wouldn't say that "ex-Guards are the best Guards". Cal Quantrill allowed five runs in five innings in his first start for Colorado.

But Luke Maile hit a two-run homer for the Reds yesterday, Carlos Santana is starting at first base for the Twins, and Lindor is still a star. Nolan Jones and Will Benson are starting for their teams.

The Tampa Bay Rays in particular are doing very well with ex-Guards. Aaron Civale allowed one run in six innings in his first start this year. Yandy Diaz is 5-for-12 with five RBI's. Amed Rosario is 3-for-5.

Some guys are doing all right. Yandy is going into his 6th year with the Rays and is still making us regret the Jake Bauers deal. Yandy is 32 and will probably continue to twist the knife for a couple more years and probably more.

Franmil Reyes homered in his first NPB game as the Nippon Ham Fighters won their opening game 4-1 over the Chiba Lotte Marines.

Benson with a two out two run dinger in the bottom of the 9th to tie it for the reds (next batter also goes yard for the w)
