One thing that is impressive about Pena is his ability to change a game, even in the midst of a slump. He has now shown 3 times in his early career that he can deliver even in the midst of a 0-10 slump. He did it in the walk-off HR game against Toronto at home, the big homerun in game 1 at Toronto, and last night to make our lead a little more comfortable. In all those games he was having an 0’fer before the big HR.

Another thing I like about Peña is that unlike Carlos, he doesn’t toot his own horn on the field. I hope that doesn’t change much over the years, but for right now I really enjoy it. It’s part of why I hated Carlos Gomez. It’s like dude, you’re not that great so don’t flip your bat just because you drew a walk.

A few awards and a championship will change a lot of guys though. |

The other game when Adolis homered off Odorizzi, he stomped on home plate. It’s like bro, you’re batting like .200. Chill. |

They need to attract hotter fans. Where hot girls go, men will follow. |
