That was a very likable play by Javy Baez.

Jesus, Matt Vierling, at least put up a challenge on a close strike two pitch, would you, please?

FWIW, I don't think Javy Baez is at all unlikable. I think he's very likable. He's just frustratingly inconsistent on the field.

OK, what's the over/under on when Matt Shepard rubs Craig Monroe's head on camera? I'll say bottom of the sixth.

I know how we were knk about Lindsey Graham being criminally compromised over little boys, but I'm thinking a more likely thing is that someone has arranged for Lindsey to take Kremlin money on the regular, and now they got him.

Hey now ...

Or he'll just spill the secrets for anyone who simply flatters him.

I'll be interested to see the degree to which they normalize her, or don't. There is a bit of a danger in interviewing her as a normal person and then filleting her during the rest of the segment.

Abouuuuuut … face!

Water always does find its level. And then guys retire. Rinse and repeat.

I saw a self-congratulatory smash clip Brian Kenny put together of him advocating for a pitch clock over the years, and a healthy Sarah Langs was in it, and it was so great to see her like that. I really hope she defies the odds.

I know you’re disappointed we let him go, but you’ll just have to get used to the idea that Trayce Thompson is gone for good and he’s never coming back.

Well, that sucked.

This whole team is offensive so far.

It's not just Monroe's homerism which, yes, is bad. But even worse to me is his whole I'm-still-in-the-game schtick: referring to The Guys by their cutesy-poo clubhouse nicknames; acting as a cheerleader and an apologist for The Guys; leaning hard on jock-talk crutches; and, of course, his general lack of actual insight for which he's apparently relying on his memory of what it was like when he was a player on the inside, rather than studying up on the game as an informed outsider. In other words, he comes off like a YouTube or TikTok amateur, not as a broadcast professional.

Time for Garret Hill to get crushed ...

Monroe been showing us what he is for years. Not sure why we'd expect something different. I like Bobby Scales so far.

Where did this Tyler Alexander come from!

Matt Shepard feeling up Craig Monroe's head. So this is what we've been reduced to two games in.

First pitch wild pitch by Wingenter, then gives up a crushed double. Sheesh. What else is on?

Finally, a hard hit grounder gets through for TORK! Once he learns to consistently lift the ball, it's gonna be watch out, world. Then Walls at third allows Miggy's routine grounder to hamstring him. Come on, boys, make 'em pay!

How do you arrive at the constants for the split?

Well, sure. Let the kids play, y'know. 😏

Wow, Turnbull got away with one there ...
