Well, Drummond is still an active player, and I would guess that would exclude him from such a role.

That was pretty bad. I can understand mistaking where the voice was coming from. I didn't realize Boone had gotten a warning prior to this. But, it isn't that difficult for the ump or MLB or whomever to simply say, hey, Wendlestedt simply thought the commentary came from the dugout, a warning had been issued, things played out live as they did, but upon review the ejection was a mistake. Ain't that hard. As an aside, hey, the fan paid the admission, so he can say whatever he wants to whomever he wants, right?

I don't agree with the jail time theory. I think he's just arrogant enough to assume he will win by just being himself. Loud and obnoxious. I think he assumes he can shout down at anyone and the universe revolves around him.

You were wither 5'2" then or the seats have shrunk over time?

This post was clutch.

I think part of the playing time issue for Paredes was that he was stuck behind Candelario.

If only they could find a leadoff hitter...

While we were there, players had been arriving to the park. Nothing was going on out on the field besides grounds keeping. But when we left, we walked along the street that is used for player/coach parking, and there were some wheels out there. Two fun facts I got from there. (1) Was the tornado that demolished part of the OF stands way back when, maybe over 100 years ago. (2) Was the impressive fruit & vegetable garden that they have on property outside of the upper deck along the 3B line.

You were too engrossed in the Tigers - Braves game? 🤣

I liked Pittsburgh. We walked across the Clemente Bridge. Sat in the RF bleachers. Walked around the stadium and took in the game at different spots for a short time during the game. The spiral walkway in the LF corner is a good SRO type of view of the city and the field. The lower deck seats in LF were pretty neat, too; you never see a lower deck section quite that small, so that unique aspect was interesting.

We did a tour of Fenway right before we left Boston last year. It was fine to walk around and check stuff out, but I can't imagine sitting anywhere in there except for maybe on the Monster for 9 innings. The seats are just so cramped together.

He was also standing in front of the Kane's Furniture advertising when he made that comment so I wonder if he was being extremely sarcastic with his commentary.

Maeda's career splits. It doesn't guarantee anything going forward, but if history can be a guide, he's about to become a much better pitcher.
