We do this every Kay start. "He must be removed from the rotation", but then he gives up 2 runs over 5 IP to the 2nd best team in baseball. While rough-looking, I think Kay's fine for where we are, now.

Watched at a bar with da wife. Looks like Tony Kay was worth one more win that Roki tonight.

...arriving in the middle of the 2nd and leaving after the 7th. Dodger stadium is a nice, historic park with a very dark history of how the land was taken. Back when I went, there was only really King Tacos to eat, and long lines for that. I haven't been to any ballparks where I was questioning my decision to attend. Jacobs Field was beautiful with downtown as the backdrop. I don't believe you could see the field from the concourse, which sucked.

And a guy with 0.1 WAR isn't all that much better than a guy with -0.1 WAR. 2021, a first baseman got the most starts in LF. No single player got more than 86 starts at 2B, LF, CF, RF or DH, so yeah, they were scrambling to fill positions. On top of that, there really wasn't any roster crunch conversation about where Jake Lamb would play when Eloy came back from injury.

What a whiny b****. Boo-hoo, my food was cold because I spent too much time complaining about the view outside the park from the inside of the park, INSTEAD OF EATING MY HOT FOOD!!! Yeah, slump starting sweep would be good for them.

Leading off with Alex Call is certainly a choice. And at what point does the Dodger FO have that serious talk about DFAing the 68 wRC+ Mookie Betts? And Roki is winning the fWAR race against Tony Kay, 0.6 to 0.1. May the better pitcher win.

There's something about the cadence. Costas just delivers. Schriff always exaggerates the ups and downs of his voice like he's reading a bedtime story to a child. Just be excited, not boastful.

Hey, thanks for sharing and I wish you luck on your prognosis. It's truly wondrous where medicine has gone in the last 40-50 years. When I was diagnosed, the best advice I got was to take it seriously and focus on beating it. I hope it's nothing and you feel embarrassed in a week for even worrying. I wish you the best.

Is he any worse than Trevor Richards? As much as people scream about him, Richards has a nice WHIP and is working on a 6 game scoreless streak. Hicks would refuse an outright assignment and become a free agent for the control over his callup, I'd imagine.

Hawk and Wimpy was an entertaining pairing that also taught a lot about what was going on in the game. I don't think Schriff has ever uttered a sentence I found interesting. When he talks about players' game prep, or changes they're working on, my mind argues with it as something he doesn't know but was told. Hawk, Wimpy or even Stone add such a dimension. Even Benetti sounded authoritative in ways Schriff will never touch. His constant "Do you give him the green light on 3-0" is so pedestrian. Any of us who never played ball and have no broadcast experience would stop using that as a crutch after the first half dozen.

Everybody's your boy

They're not throwing Hagen Smith to the wolves.

Oscar Colas was part of that last procession.

Found this while looking up other music:

It gets mentioned, too, that as a kid matures from 12-16, some don't develop as planned, and the team renegs. Or the kid grown into a monster, and they want more money.

As it gets repeated every time this comes up, International classes are usually lined up 4 years ahead of time. There were a few Yankee commits they released who might have been bouncing around, and once they said they were signing with Phil or Cleve, they traded money slots. That's more appropriate than kidnapping and baseball trafficking.

Hey, why waste a good rage trigger? Sure beats shaking one's fist at the clouds.

I just got back from our walk. The sky was dark gray in the north, and by the end of our two mile jaunt, it was sunny, and the sky was overcast north of us. It's overcast, but not as foreboding.
