Anyone notice that the left side of Cleveland's uniform still  says dians 

That's sounds familiar.

Maybe the politics of hiring free agents?  Maybe we dont want the reputation of ditching veterans that we hire.   

It is a mystery because Odor is pretty much a black hole with the bat you would think Vavra offers more of a chance of getting on base than Odor.   

Kind of funny because Bryce Harper basically called out Joe Giardi for sticking with veterans too long when rookies would help the team more.   Joe gets fired and the kids got a chance to play.   Harper likes that.   

 

Sounds very Buck-ish

Actually, no I haven't. Seems pretty cool

For those who care, the lettering across the front of the jersey and elsewhere reflects the architectural style of these city guardians.  It's an acquired taste I guess.  I really like it, much like a good scotch.

Nice steal by Mullins. Beat a good throw.

So weird to see the Orioles strand runners in scoring position. It's almost like I've seen this somewhere!

Not going to make the playoffs when they keep stranding a lot of runners.

Saw today that Kwan and Benson (and two others) play chess in the clubhouse. Kwan says Benson is nearly as good as he is, but not quite.

I need to learn how to play chess.

Watkins seems so relaxed out there. You can tell he’s feeling good about what he’s trying to do. Great to see.

The bridge is cool but I still hate the name LOL.

I agree he's definitely slowing down a bit. And seems to be a bit mumbly at times. But he's earned it he can work as long as he wants. 

He's missing Hunter to pique him and Thorne to horse around with.

What happened on that last out? Watching on stream east but feed freezes just before commercial every half inning and mostly miss the actual play that's the last out. Looked like a foul or a dropped K.

Dropped K

Neither team is squaring up much.
