I’ve seen a lot of cardinals lately. I love the brightly colored birds. Even blue jays even if they are loud jackasses. And the smell of a lilac bush on a nice spring day.

Jake Rogers has an OPS of 1.000 vs Kevin Gausman in 2 PAs. Watch your step, Toronto.

Ah….. morning coffee on the patio with a light breeze, birds chirping, the smell of a game 7 victory,…. That’s right, the morning of a game 7 victory smells like the lilac bush with a hint of bacon from a neighbor’s kitchen. Going to add freshly cut grass to that mix soon, too.

Is this the second season of the extra inning runner rule? Has there been a comparison of extra inning game lengths, say the last decade of no extra inning runner vs extra inning runner?

Reverse jinx? I see you, Biff, I see you.

We did this in our softball league this week. We won the game, so it’s real.

Egads,…. I cannot be dead for work on Monday.

Phooey.

Ok, boys, let’s score. I want to go for a bike ride.

Currently being shared, one to each team.

Davis Schneider looks like a jacked up Tom Brookens.

I’d like to see what happens if McKinstry’s hand wasn’t blocked by Sosa’s foot. Might have been a successful steal. I’m not saying it was intentional interference. Sometimes crap happens.

McKinstry with the well placed IF hit.

I prefer some height, somewhere throughout the infield. Not necessarily upper deck, but definitely not close to field level. i was lower deck, a few rows from the top of the lower deck, in a line with the 3rd base line for a game vs Cleveland. I think it was Vizquel on first. Someone doubled down to the LF corner, and I saw everything from that play develop right in front of me as Vizquel was thrown out at home. It felt kind of like an out of body experience that was quickly in slow motion.

Or me.

I didn’t know Finnegan was going by “F”.

Ding Dong, that pitch call was wrong.

Man, if MLB still had those dopey player weekend jerseys, he could’of gone with HUMAN REPLAY SYSTEM.

Is it fair reason that part of the slow start could be to losing basically a year due to injury?

He Vierlonked it! No bueno? Ok, back to the drawing board.

When he challenges, why bother with the replay system? Just overturn the call.

Oh yes, that’s legendary. He had a teammate, a shortstop, that continuously got him, especially during mound visits.

Someone sounds like a Big Grumpfart.

Incredible!
