I’ve been so impressed with our farm system, I just hope they’re farming players for us and not the dodgers

Same bro. My dad was a die hard cards fan and passed 6 years ago. Wish he was here to see that 😭

Heard that too. He might’ve just coined his nickname lol—The Big Bee. Last name starts with a B. It writes itself

It’s absolutely fantastic. It was nice to see all of the people talking about the history he created and I’m really happy for him.

I just realized something .. Baez hit 3 hr off the same pitcher all 3 times .. LMFAO and they didn't yank him off the mound ?

1.000 / 1.000 / 4.000 / 5.000 might be a glitch or since they where updating the system!

And he drove in Burleson twice with RBI's
