What is everybody drinking tonight?

Just cracked my second beer of the night and my first since making dinner and since the 6-month old went to bed, so it is as refreshing as a first beer.

First beer was a Blueberry Maximum Fruitage from Checkerspot, now I am drinking a Duckpin.

 

I'm going for that refreshing blend of hydrogen and oxygen this evening.

Both good breweries.  Love some of Checkerspots IPAs.  I'm on my first of the evening, a Flying Dog Tropical Bitch.

Checkerspot currently has a great setup for social distanced hanging. You just tailgate in the lot across the street. Bring whatever you would bring to a tailgate, camping chairs, etc. and just drink next to your car. They will bring food if you order it from them or you can bring your own and you can walk in with a mask to grab a round of beers. Also because it is right under 395, there is always shade.

I still prefer this one...

 

I was watching a video yesterday about how the Silver Apples were sharing a recording space with Jimi and they were thinking about doing a version of the SSB and Jimi was all "Yes, I'm working on something too" and busted it out.

 

Because of course I was watching a video about the Silver Apples.

    • There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!
    • While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.  
    • I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.
    • Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
    • Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers
    • I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
