Middle Buffalo

There are a few guys who need to improve their situational hitting. It’s ok to let it rip on the first pitch, but they have to change to a contact approach when a fly ball will get a run in. They leave way too many potential runs on base.

This seems to be more important in baseball than any of the other sports.

Schriffen needs to learn that it’s ok for there to be a little silence in a baseball broadcast. He fills every second.

More like Wizzo

I don’t like either. I’d like them to use the early 70s baby blues as an alternate.

Challenging strike 1 in the sixth inning is beyond dumb.

The money will be spent.

I love reading the game threads after the games are over. Lots of hot takes. Not taking shots, either. That’s kind of the point of the game threads. That’s why we’re fans.

Just finished binging the seven seasons of West Wing. Great show. I think it took my wife and I around 6 months. Somehow, most of the political storylines (Israel, Iran, lobby reform, you name it) covered in the series are as relevant as ever today. Not much I don’t like about the series. My kids were young during the first run and I never even considered watching it. I’m glad I finally got around to it. It ranks highly among the best tv shows of all time - including Sopranos, Wire, etc.

Robert is an elite athlete. Every time I saw him run full speed to beat out a hit in the infield, I was expecting him to get hurt. That’s not good. I wish him well, but it was time to move on.

I’ll go with 66.

Do Bill Self and Karl Ravech share a toupee, or do they just shop at the same store?

Bulls sitting in last spot for playoffs play in. Another JR white flag trade.

Everybody is correct. It’s both not worth it and something you should do if you have the time. Tickets can be expensive. Used to be able to get them dirt cheap (I got 3 tickets to a game a few years ago for $12 total). I haven’t had as much luck lately. I’d still wait to buy tickets and see if anything cheap shows up on the secondary market. Sox are not a big draw. Concessions are the same as a real game. That’s the real killer. Atmosphere is relaxed, and you can get pretty close to the players who are generally good about signing autographs if that’s your thing. Lots of times there will be some old timers signing on the concourse. Sox and Dodgers share a stadium on far west side. Unless it’s changed in the last year, parking is free. It’s a nice stadium, but it’s a haul if you’re staying in Scottsdale or Tempe Buy a cheap ticket and move around. The ushers don’t care in my experience. Only Cubs and Dodgers games are likely to be packed. Even if the Sox are playing an away game, only the Cubs game at their park is likely to be hard to get tickets to. Weather can be a little unpredictable. It may get surprisingly cold or be unseasonably hot. Tickets on first base side will get some shade as the game goes on. Sitting higher up (closer to the concourse) is not bad if you want to be assured of some shade. Third base side is in the sun I’d recommend going if you’ve never been. You decide if it’s something you’d do a second time.

I stand corrected. Sure a lot of love for KW.😄
