I know it's a cliche, but it's one for a reason: Ball Four by Jim Bouton.

I read the book when I was 17 and have since bought the Jim Bouton signed collectors addition with Ball Five and six in it when he went back to Yankees stadium.
I bought and tried to get through his second book about saving an old stadium but it didn't have any of the same magic that Ball Four had.
Ball Four had great characters and if ever a movie should have been made about a book, that was it.
Just started this the other day. So far it's incredible.

I have... no words for this thread.
With no words @OsFanSinceThe80s summed it up perfectly.

Stowers has to catch that.
Agree. I thought he did....and think Holliday did, too.
-
Why wasn't Holliday covering second? Did he think Stowers caught that? He's been caught out of position a few times I've seen so far this season.

Surprised Mayo locked up on that K.
He's got a funky timing mechanism. Seems like he starts way late. I know that's a thing for guys with crazy bat-speed (Sheffield & Baez for example) but seems like sometimes he just mistimes the pitcher and can't get a swing off.
-
The vast majority of these pitches aren't even remotely close to the zone.
88 pitches through 3.1 IP. Yikes.
-
He just walked in.....the lead-off walk.
-
Geez. Third lead-off walk of the inning. McDermott is frustrating.

Charlotte is a beautiful backdrop for a game.
It sure is. My mom's side of the family is from all over NC. Have some cousins in Charlotte and have been visiting since the late 80's early 90's. It's incredible how that city has grown.
NC needs an MLB team. Pretty sure there is a group from Charlotte and also the research triangle area (Raleigh-Durham) thats are serious about brining baseball to NC.

60 pitches through 3 innings. Wow. No bueno.
-
Dang. Holliday should have had that. Is grass wet? Might have skipped off wet grass but looked like a pretty easy hop to field.

May not have been warmed up fully for that first batter, because he looked much the rest of the inning.
As soon as I typed that it looke dlike he locked in a bit. lol I'll take credit

McDermott just 91-92 with no command to the first batter. Interesting. Not in a good way interesting either.
He's got no idea where the ball is going.

And next year, it would not be surprising if Samuel Basallo is starting 2025 season in Norfolk and could very well be the #1 prospect in all of baseball with a great year this year.
Fingers crossed. He's got a legit chance.

With this lineup, it's appointment watching for me!
Honestly, it's been that way the last three years. It's insane that they've graduated two #1 prospects in the last two years and still pack a punch. You'd think this year would have been a bit of a down year. Nope.

It's circular. It's like a carousel. You pay the quarter, you get on the horse, it goes up and down, and AROUND. It's circular. Circle, with the music, the flow. All good things.

Thats for starting a new thread. Pretty cool to have MiLB game threads lol. What a fan base!
Kjerstads ball was smoked 105.8

The Tides camo uniforms are freakin' awesome.
And here we go. Holliday walk (after falling 0-2) and Norby with a double.
And Kjerstad with an RBI single (105.9 mph EV). Thats 19 in 6 games.

Just a heads up, Tides game is free game of night for those w/o MiLB.tv
McDermott pitching.

Not sure if I've chimed in yet but I just want to say.
I'd rather you not post pictures of your wife, particularly if she hasn't given permission.
I tried so hard to resist chiming in. I need to do better next time.
And, yes. Agree on your point.
Can mods put out this dumpster fire, please?

More than happy to post a pic or two.
No idea how though as this site doesn't have an image link.
It does, but I imagine this thread gets shut down before you can figure out how to upload a picture.

Just wanted to make sure the edit didn't cause this gem to be lost to the ether.
This thread is a dumpster fire and I’m blown away it’s gone 9 pages.
With that said…..I, like you, can’t help but wonder if OP’s wife is 90% Asian or if she is a “9” or “10” on the frat boy beauty scale.
With OP being a 6 sport all-American I assume the latter? Maybe we can add a poll to this thread?

4/4 Tides vs. Knights - How many do they put on the board tonight!

He's going to be great. He's just super inexperienced. On replay, he got a very good jump on that liner. Good play for sure.
