Chavez Ravine

Barnes’ curve confuses the umpire sometimes too.

The can't stop Jose!

These at bats are enjoyable to watch.

Showtime Santander!

Adios pelota!

A Roy Special!

The All Star Game week needs an outfielder skills competition.

Rio!!!!

We are still in the race!

Shut down...not!

Miguel in top form! His beard looks well-scaped as well.

I just started watching; that thing was nasty.

Doubles on parade.

The Milone kids are adorable.

Milone!

Is he in Baltimore or is he Zoom'n in from Louisiana?

I can’t watch the Yankees-Nats game since I don’t have ESPN, so have been listening to the radio feed. The fake AI crowd noise is unnerving me. It feels like I am part of the Truman Show. Is the box score going to report the virtual likes as well as the paid attendance?

They can still drive a bitchn’ Camaro down the shore and take some other people to the zoo.

Apparently if you give the same architecture firm more than 5 billion to play with instead of a chincy 1 billion you get SoFi stadium. I’m not sure it looks 4 billion dollars different. Plus you don’t even get natural grass.

Being off by a few hundred K in a strange, data poor, truncated year seems OK to me. Granted, those are very much high leverage dollars to leave on the table, but it’s a very amorphous leverage (particularly in that amount). You can give the real dollars to an intern to day trade with to see what they can do with by next month.

The pessimist in me thinks this thread is going to be way more interesting than the season.

We just need 29 games for a single elimination tournament.

My all time favorite as well. The only thing I was halfway good at in basketball was rebounding. One of the best compliments I have ever received came when I was playing at a basketball camp. I made a rebound, and Wes pointed at me from the sideline and said "Excellent positioning, son".

I have lost track of the details. Do they still have to get local approval for using/ working in the stadiums? I assume there are contingencies if a region like NYC goes on full lockdown again. Has the MLBPA agreed to those?

Just keep chucking talent into the firebox and hope that coaching, video, personality tests, wearable tech, organizational philosophy, and the mysteries of the universe squirt out some rare nuggets at a reasonable pace.
