early, along with Lenny and Sosa's home run in the second inning, really set the tone.
Two runs scored in this game.
He has the home run, and he draws two walks as well, which is not always his calling card.
But I think for this team, we've seen over the years getting on base is so vital and so important.
And Vlade can't be the only guy that's always getting on base.
But Myles Straw, in addition to the home run, which is welcome from him because he's not a home run hitter, only his second of the season, but to get on base,
twice other than the home run, I think was also huge.
So a multitude of guys you can give it to, but for me, it's the right fielder today.
Oh, it's ridiculous.
Like, you look at his average on April 17th was 188.
I mentioned it's all the way back up to 235 now.
Even as recently as April 21st, it was 202.
So look, he's on a pretty significant tear here.
And you're right, it's probably not...
what we should come to expect, just like any other baseball player, like baseball is a game of failure.
And every time he comes up to the plate, he's not going to be hitting absolute mammoth, 453 foot home runs.
But I think you can expect some level of regularity to his success.
Like he, he strikes me as the type of guy that when he's on, there's really no safe place for,
to throw the baseball.
And, and it just, I keep going back to how important it is to have someone like that in the lineup.
