Hat tip to Witt. Love to see that effort on the field.

Hinch needs to call time out and visit Torkelson at the plate next time.

Quite possibly. It was a different mindset back then. Its more of a shunned habit nowadays than it was in the 40s, 50s, 60s.

He missed the boat on all of the tobacco advertising in baseball.

For the 5,951st time, Avila was not good at his job overall. He made some good moves, but not enough to remain in that capacity, and probably should have been replaced prior to when he was actually let go.

Don't know. Need to see him pitch more.

Today's win will make it a 3-3 road trip.

He played some OF last year.

Win tonight and Skubal goes tomorrow? I like the 2 out of 3 recipe.

Disagree. This. I just wonder, has hitting a baseball been so natural for him that he never really had to work through struggles? Is that self development the issue rather than the hitting skill itself?

If anything, maybe the offense is boring/frustrating. But overall, you are correct, they're usually in every game.

I'm not sure about excellent. He had a WHIP of around 1.30 entering last night. But his SO & BB ratios have been really nice early this season.

Walleye 4, Mavericks 3. The series now shifts from Toledo to Kansas City, 2 games to 1 edge for Kansas City.

The question is is this just a singular tattooing or a reverting back to form?

I also believe in the reliever roulette theory.

I think they need to see how things play out for Flaherty. I think his resume is such that he’s not going to be offered a silly contract, and if he does get offered one, walk away.

That first win in a row just seems to be the toughest for the Pistons.

I told you guys they should’of just stayed in Arizona, but, no,…… nobody ever listens to me.

Can't wait to mess up their pitchers' mound.

So he stunk but he didn't stunk?

Happy Reeseday.

Being right on the strip strikes me as very odd. The Raiders are off strip, maybe even on the other side of the freeway off of the strip? The Golden Knights I think are along the back side of the strip. This whole situation seems greasy to me. The exit from Oakland is one thing. And to your point, why would they need to knock down property right on the strip for a new ball yard? And why move when the new place isn’t going to be ready for so long? And then there is the connection between the Athletics’ owner and the Sacramento Kings’ owner with Sacramento serving as an “interim” home.

I’m not sure the TV angles were conclusive on whether or not Barnhart got a tag on Carpenter. I don’t necessarily have any qualms about sending Carpenter there. The thing that surprised me from watching it on TV, I wouldn’t have guessed he’d have been quick enough to get around the bases in time to make it a close play. Granted, the ball caromed high off of the wall and there was a bit of a fumble on the ball in the outfield. Then the Baez leap and throw in the next half inning. Heck of an attempt by he on the catch and throw and by Rogers at the plate. The throw was skipped and Rogers couldn’t catch it cleanly. But I don’t know if the play was there for them without playing it absolutely perfectly. Thems the breaks, I guess.

Why ruin the narrative with facts?

Manning allowed 13 baserunners vs 15 outs. He didn’t keep them in the game. Arizona failed to run away with the game.
