Chavez Ravine

That works. LOL.

Gunnar gets the party started…

Gibson came back from his brake.

Gibson’s first three pitches to Rortvedt were wonderful, then he went on brake.

Yes, but he also as been a bit unlucky. I like a slump where the dude always kinda seems to be rumbling (i.e not Mateo).

Tony!!!

Gibson!!!

What are the magic words these days? I saw your mama with a robo Ump last night?

I like the randomness of the strike zone, and that sometimes the umpire is obviously completely wrong. It’s a game played by humans—it’s life. In some future game thread we will be complaining about what Illuminati are controlling the robo Ump, or how the humidity affects the LiDAR. Blah.

We softened him up at least?

I was half watching the Hunter Harvey experience in the Nat’s game. LOL.

Andrew Friedman is not a fan of the basic concept: “I hate trading for relievers at the deadline,” Friedman said. “It’s my least favorite thing to do. The acquisition cost is totally out of whack. So I like to avoid it as much as possible.” https://dodgerblue.com/dodgers-news-andrew-friedman-relief-pitchers-at-mlb-trade-deadline/2022/07/08/amp/

We should auction off rights to the stretch song to help pay for a starting pitcher.

This reminds me of the Jonathan Villar discussions. He is a useful MLB player; how much you give up in a trade for him or use him instead of some prospect is open to endless debate.

Yeah, and is there data on the effects of getting up a zillion times but not coming in vs just coming in? I suspect the “brain trust” has tried to answer that question.

Adios pelota!!

What is Mateo’s steal adjusted OPS?

Mateo gets a hit!

Cano brushes it off!!

The fancy seat servers are one of the side benefits of a watching a broadcast from Rogers Center.

That was an interesting at bat.

Gibson!!!!!!!

Gibson!!!

Mountcastle!!

My wife has to get her 10k a day in, and for some insane reason has decided that she will get most of them by doing tiny micro laps around our tiny living room.
