Boom! after a few poor games, he’s doing ok today

I’m glad he’s taking the ASG off, and not playing… healing his shoulder will be nice for H2

Yes! I am worried about his shoulder, though… he was grabbing it last night after swings

glad he’s taking the ASG off to rest

Same.

Hopefully it's a good sign that it's not bad enough to impact his performance.

He's set up for a career year and it really seems like he's found "his" approach.

I haven’t made a Raffy pickup in a long time, but seeing this career year he’s having motivated me to go shopping. Found this at a great price. Only a pop 9 too.

Had my eye on this beauty. Nice pick up. Can I ask what you whittled the seller down to?

I ended up opting for a trifecta for a similar price - PSA 10s of Sepia, Pink and Prism. (Sepia is currently lost in the mail…)

Seller was asking $130, we settled on $90. I was happy with that.

Looking like a MVP candidate, the obvious suspects getting some more competition.

No posts in a month is offensive to Raffy.

Especially a month where he's hit .353 with an OPS of 1.129.

Shame on us.
