Lordy. I like how Ben was trying to coach him up from the booth.

The Cubs have an excellent font. The C on the batting helmet is beautiful.

Dean needs some stickum.

Cubs got the back of their pitcher who wanted to implode. We: not so much.

Taillon doesn’t look much better than Kremer.

Kremer throws his best pitch of the night, then ends up walking him.

How many more pitches does Kremer have in him?

Ay, Kremer!? Ay, Orioles!? This is a chore to watch.

Befuddled at bat by Mullins.

Taillon is struggling to wrangle that stuff.

Booya! That one matched the sound.

Santander!!!!!! But lordy, Kremer has very little at the moment.

Keep it together, Kremer.

Who do you pick for your second half fantasy team? Jansen or Kimbrel?

They should kill the All Star Game. It’s from the barnstorming era. It’s like asking Lewis Hamilton to lead the Shriners in the Founder’s Day parade. Name the best halfway dudes and have a party. Done.

Duh. We are a good team. The beauty of baseball is that you get spring and summer to see that play out. Then you get autumn to see how that doesn’t necessarily matter.

I’m not sure the hitters are so befuddled anymore. When he gets in trouble these days he walks/hits a couple then has a pitch that transits the middle of the zone get crushed. Perhaps he has become more like every pitcher who, as Palmer would say, needs to get to two strikes to be effective.

My dream job.

I have fond memories of taking BART to watch the O’s play in the Coliseum in the early 90’s

Kyle swung at that pitch next month.

I’m normally pro fan quirks, I feel we should show the streakers on TV, and I find soccer fan noise soothing. But something has always grated me about those Oakland drummers.

It should be easy to corral all hundred of them.

I’m fearing for our “high sky”moment.

Yikes. Ye ‘ol hanging slider. We got lucky there.

Brilliant idea.
