Honestly wish the central divisions were flipped. It's a lot more fun watching the brewers, cardinals, etc than the Royals, twins, guardians.

adam sandler is decent at basketball? thanks Schriffen

I have make sure I tune in for the 1st inning magic .

Quero made that look really easy. Not bad.

That looks disgusting.

our ability to score in the first innings of games is one of the weirdest things about this team

I love spicy food but the habanero has a poor flavor profile. Jalapeno is almost always better. Also I'm just not a big fried chicken sandwich guy. The bread isn't needed with fried chicken...

But is he any good at SlamBall?

Is this because of his movie where he's the basketball scout for that Spanish star who went to the NBA?

Maybe he's conflating the two things.

 

Robert, Benintendi...trade value/cash considerations homers

LuBob almost to a 600 OPS, Vaughn still at .491

Amaya should just give up swinging and hope for a walk every time

Eddie Gaedel, Part Deux

 

Another exciting match-up with former Brewers, former Sox facing their old teams...tmrw is the centerpiece with Knights' disaster Tobias Meyers vs. Rule 5 Shane Smith, newspaper copy practically writing itself.

Then you have Jose Quintana as well.  miss him in the rotation (more homecoming fluff pieces), but get Patrick (Rule 5 protected over S.Smith) vs. Sean Burke, so more Boston/Massachusetts youth stories about him, Mike Vasil, Cam Booser.

GameDay said he took 4 balls. Next thing I know it's strike 3. I got the game on TV .TV is a batter behind game day so I wasn't paying attention to the actual pitches on my screen.

ok Amaya i'll give you that one

Oh Jake amaya... that was a major league play. Too bad he can't hit

13 pitches for Wilson and into the fourth inning...that's crazy.

Wilson is a dead ringer for a younger Lance Lynn.

that ball is gone if it's warmer.

Norfolk Tides about to be 9-18, suck it Mayo/Basallo, lol...

Robert 161/600

 

With Robert physically at 100% (he's running almost every time he gets on base, and fielding almost as well as 2020), one would think an ambitious GM who has a swing guru might want to jump the line and make the first offer and see if Getz bites (before Luis gets hurt again).

Someone tell them it is the first inning, every inning.

Brewers up there hacking away like they all have 9:30 late dinner reservations.  What's the weather like?

Stone & Schriff have mentioned it's gorgeous/perfect baseball weather a couple times.

Per the box score:

Weather:63 degrees, Partly Cloudy.

Wind:8 mph, Out To RF.
