The Wire Troll: Gorkys Hernandez Heating Up

Jankowski was a first round pick (44th overall) in 2012, so we shouldn’t be shocked, but before this season all he’d done is put up a 30-steal season in 2016. There’s no doubt speed is his calling card, but before a slump this week, he was hitting .390. Okay, so that’s down to .325 now and will likely keep dipping, but Jankowski is hitting well, swiping bags and getting on base at a .395 clip. He even drove in a rare run on Friday. Surely, he has use in a mixed format league right now.

Blu-ray Review: Annihilation

/ Movie Reviews

Much like Ex Machina, Annihilation is science fiction tinged with plenty of realism, and as it turns out that familiarity makes the differences all the more unsettling. This is still Earth, and not some crazy futuristic dystopian version, either. The technology, the characters, the location, all of it is immediately recognizable and relatable, and that serves to ground the more fantastic elements in a sense of reality.

Blu-ray Review: Game Night

/ Movie Reviews

One of the movie’s strengths is keeping the humour coming without becoming overly manic with the delivery. There are enough lulls to give the best jokes space to breathe, and there are a number of silly one-offs (like rich person fight club or the fertility doctor) that get played out as we go. It ends up being a very well-paced mix of clever lines and slapstick physical comedy.

The Wire Troll: Frankie Montas is Nearly Ready

His Thursday start got pushed back to Saturday, and now he’s been scratched from that as well. Hamels apparently won’t go on the DL, so may take the bump on Sunday. With Texas doing awful this season, he may very well be on the trading block, and given his 2.54 ERA on the road, his value could soar with a trade. Once we’ve established his prognosis, consider making an offer for Hamels.
