4 pitch inning for Mize.

Bat master glove master Gleyber.

I wonder if Buxton with his height could’ve snared that home run in center

Gleyber!

I wish there was crowd noise when you listen to the radio feed on TV.

Buxton is good

Matt Vierling out on a sacrifice fly to left fielder Trevor Larnach. Spencer Torkelson scores.

Tork double no outs.

Nice 7 pitch inning for Casey to get himself back to where he needs to be

23 of those eaten up in the first inning

Don’t give a lead off Home run to Buxton… well it’s a single so the stupid suspense of a no-hitter is over.

I just realized how unusual a Saturday day game is. This is nice.

Yeah, it looked to me like he definitely had the arm for third base.

Is FanDuel offering odds on when Vierling‘s next injury occurs?

The infield looks so weird without the tarp on it.

It’s Saturday he’s due for a correction… I sure hope not

Stop mocking us! It has to rain that’s all it does anymore! 😘

So when does the rain stop today?

I’m re-reading the meticulously annotated “Norton Critical Edition” of Moby ****. I never read it in school, but this is my fourth read in the last five years, the first occurring during the beginning of Covid outbreak. I still find it compelling and gain new insights with each read. The annotations by the way, elaborate upon the meanings of many words that would otherwise remain obtuse as well as persons and events you probably know nothing about. It’s easy for first time readers to get stymied by or bogged down in those considerable stretches of the book that do not move the main plot forward. My experience, as well as the experience of people who’ve read it dozens of times, is to skip those parts and stick to the main narrative. If the book speaks to you, you can read those other parts in the future. The book grows on you like a good friend you gain something from every time you hang out with them. These parts outside the main narrative, though, help you to grasp the importance of these great whales in culture, history and religion, and to develop a sense of empathy for these hunted creatures that we today know are probably equal in intelligence to ourselves. It also puts more meat on the bones of the main narrative, so the impact is greater. Although at times bordering on the tedious, you have a richer experience of the book when you take these parts seriously. The book is often outrageously funny, containing keen insights into life in general and interpersonal relations, with amazing descriptive powers of the sensuous facets of the sea, and the inner lives of human beings in general. It can also be as exciting as any movie you’ve ever seen.

Revelation For Normal People - Robyn Whitaker (making sense of the final book of the New Testament) The “Bible for normal people“ series of books are quite good. The podcast is good too, although I only follow it or any podcasts occasionally.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that aside for Mike Trout getting votes. The votes seem to be cast pretty intelligently.

Only 1.5% of games are won by a team scoring one run and shutting out the other club. Don’t really stand a chance when you can only score one run. Hope the guys connect tomorrow.

I didn’t realize that.
