Get it together Bazardo.

I’m looking forward to it! My mom will invariably text me something like “The Dodgers are playing the Orioles. Remember that Cal Ripken guy? Do you still like him”

Cueto is getting tuned up for the playoffs.

There is an ice cream truck in my neighborhood that loops some sort of 8-bit compilation.

Johnny Cueto is warming in the fish pen!

I had the MASN feed on for the first inning; they haven’t mentioned anything since I tuned in.

I’m listening to the fish radio team. They are good.

Tony!!

So it’s going to be every other inning…

Yeah, it’s not like he has been swinging at just anything since coming back it’s more like: ball in zone, try to destroy ball.

Mounty is not particularly contemplative about the pitches.

Le shut down!

We have had at least three tattooed outs.

Mateo!!

Oh no…

You know you are old when the pitching coaches or “juniors” of dudes you had baseball cards of.

Mountcastle don’t need to see no pitches.

Gibson kept the contraption from sinking.

Lordy.

Ouch!? Adley and Tony got some whacks.

Promising…

The logic of weighting oWAR and dWAR equally makes sense, but are there counter arguments? Were there eras when scoring a run was more valuable than stopping one?

This is Mookie Betts all over again.

I couldn’t watch the first few city connect uniform games and had all sorts of fanciful visions reading the opinions of them here. When I actually saw them in the field I was a bit underwhelmed. Plus, like them. Black is slimming.

That’s the sequence that played out in my mind every time I stepped up to the plate in little league. Then I promptly struck out.
