A Winning Formula

He wasn't Good A.J. or Bad A.J. today, more just Mediocre A.J.  And Joe didn't risk sending him back out for the 6th inning after he showed signs of crumbling in the 5th.  But when the heart of order plays like they did today, Mediocre A.J. should be good enough to win.

The Horse and his Thoroughbreds combined to go 5-12 at the plate today, with 4 XBH (2 2B and 2 HR), 5 runs scored, 6 RBI, and 2 BB.  Teix cranked his 2nd 3-run job of the season, and he and Cano each saw 20+ pitches again.  When these 3 are all on their game, that's a near impossible trap to navigate for an opposing pitching staff.  And they all appear to be on their game to start the season, something we haven't seen since the 3 became teammates.  And I love it.
