Saturday, May 27: Ryan Mountcastle Bobblehead day vs Rangers

[Pat Kelly]

Detest when Os play non-competitive games.   Texas looks like a complete team toying with the Os “juggernaut.”  Lost weekend.

Who was scheduled for Texas? I see now it’s TBA. 

Dunning. Went on paternity list. Most likely a BP game for them tomorrow. With our luck Dunning will be back and throw a NH

A lot of bad baseball today. Can't blame it on the uniforms, but there's an ugly consistency between the sub-ML outfits and the sub-ML play.

Why the hell can't MLB just let the teams design their own uniforms and wear them for every game? Forget about dressing them up like Ken dolls, on command from on high, for City Connect, Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day, Armed Forces Day, Fourth of July, etc. You do something like this once, especially if it's on a team's own initiative, and it means something. When the league orchestrates this stuff year after year,  that meaning is sucked dry. For me, anyway.

The all black pants are not very flattering on the heftier players. Really seems to make the chubbier guys look fat.

We need a pitcher, not a belly-itcher!

It’s all about pushing team merchandise $$$.

I hope all this City Connect merchandise ends up getting donated to third world countries.

The team should really take the hint and mothball these forever. But they won't

The uniforms are cursed because of doing business with Nike.

That's terrible!

 

That sort of thing is really damaging to the local economies.

Sure they will. Then they will do City Connect 2.0 next year, rinse and repeat.

Givens needs to drop at least 30 lbs to get his old delivery back, 

Is his delivery off because he is out of shape or hurt? It almost looked like he is too old and stiff to bring his leg back. Maybe it is intentional but the optics aren't good.

I don't understand that SUV commercial where those people are hiking up the mountain. That SUV comes out of nowhere to pick these hikers up to take them to the top. What's the point of hiking if you're gonna get driven? Lol. I'm sorry, but it just makes no sense.

[eddie83]

Another hard hit at someone.

Might want to lower the launch angle. We've had so many flyouts today.
