I think Jones was out at Second, but there was not enough convincing evidence unobscured by other players, to overturn the call.

Ramirez looked like he had a decent swing, but he popped up in the first. I hope Casey can keep his ERA under 4.00. When offense was struggling in the later 60s being under 3.00 was a big deal but these days being under 4.00 means you’re functioning decently I guess.

It’s a really wonderful drive. Never a dull moment.

One of my kids started going to college in Olympia, Washington in 2016 and this was right around the time when fully licensed cannabis shops could open. In nearby Lacey, Washington there was a main strip with countless cannabis stores. Four months later, 2/3 of them were closed. Only a fraction of the public is interested in being that high and having one of those shops is not automatically a license to print money. If you overproduce, you can’t ship it out of state so you’re stuck with it and the price plummets and stores close. And Olympia is pretty far away from a boundary with another state where it’s illegal.

My son tells me that in Oregon you can get a 28% THC hybrid of gloriously beautiful crystallized buds with an amazing bouquet for $60. 34% is a little bit more. The places that are right over the border and right off the interstate charge about twice as much, but if you’re willing to travel 5 mi. further out into the boonies, the price plummets because there is an enormous glut.

When I went to the doctor today for my yearly checkup, they said I had gained 3/4 of an inch in height. I’m 73 years old so it’s a little late for a growth spurt. My only explanation is that they made me back up against the wall and back my heels against the wall, and I was standing straighter than normal. So if your parents ever said something like “Stand up straight and stop slouching“ I think they might’ve been on to something.

The Yankees are the greatest sports franchise in world history. That’s why everyone hates them.

I’ll be totally fine if the Tigers go 7–5 in the last dozen games. But I’ll take whatever I get and I won’t throw a fit.

I don’t know if it matters if a team is charging into the playoffs on a roll with a head of steam, or if they back into the playoffs trying to hold onto what they have and making sure no one makes off with the family jewels. That’s why I will not lose a lot of sleep over this. The playoffs are their own animal and I don’t think Big Mo or a lack there of makes much difference. In a three or five game or seven game stretch anything can happen.

Yes, that probably is a factor in honing the mental acuity necessary to keep going.

Sometimes a baseball season feels like it’s 1000 years long. As a fan, it can feel that long. Personally, I’m starting to feel exhausted by it all. I can’t imagine how long it must feel to a ball player. These guys are a special breed. Keeping themselves fit and emotionally and psychologically balanced has got to be an ability unequally distributed among human beings. I know I certainly don’t possess it.

I’m glad this isn’t a WNBA game because there’s all sorts of children on the field right now.

Ha. Win

2 outs…

Don’t suck Will!

One out bottom 9th

Threaten but do not score in the top of the ninth.

Well, in the top of the ninth will the Fish throw a guy out there with a 12.14 ERA to throttle the Tigers? Or stick with the guy with a 9.40ERA.

I sure wish YouTube TV would let me watch the Lions. I think I would be happier.

Zilch.

And they replacing him with a guy with a 9.51 ERA. I know ERA isn’t everything, but this might be indicative of the fact that we should be able to scratch out at least another run I hope.

So the Simpson guy for the Marlins has an 8.44 ERA

McKinstry hasn’t been very good for the last month.

Too bad the Marlins have a pitching staff of Cy Young contenders. Otherwise we’d be scoring more runs. 😜
