Also remember the first 40 games is probably the toughest stretch any team in baseball has this year.

Riley Greene proves that: Give me 87.6 miles per hour going a distance of five feet all day, amirite?

He didn't exactly crush that grounder, but at least Riley has gotten us off the base hit schneid. Riley has made a lot of good things happen by charging down the line toward first this year so far.

If Siri got the huge jump at first after two throws over that Dan said he did, then Foley might as well as thrown over the third time to try to get him and risk the balk call, because Siri ended up just waltzing to second anyway.

If it wasn't done before ...

VERY likable play there!

Yeah, that's gonna take time. We are talking years and years of bad instruction that did not start with Scott Coolbaugh. And even with all the best, most up-to-date instruction available, bad players still won't be good enough to implement it successfully.

Wasn't that more a Fox Sports thing anyway?

Springs is very good.

How about Joey Wentz through two!

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.
