That's how you wear baseball socks.

I've said this before but the stirrups is a good example of changing values in baseball, especially in context of today's game with the things modern players do that some people don't like.  That stirrup look was once considered flashy.  Jim Bouton talked about it in his book.  The generation of black players that began to thrive after integration started wearing their stirrups like that to show more socks. It was their way of bonding with each other.  The old timers of the time didn't like it. 

I see it and it makes me feel like you do... yes, that's how you do it.  It's how I did it when I played.

and continuing on..... indoor baseball doesn't count.

Today’s fun stat:  Maeda has walked more batters so far this year than Skubal has.  Maeda has pitched 7 innings this year.

I’m not watching this on TV. I just want to know does Sweeney have the scarlet letter of E-6 on his back?

Gleyber knocks Jung in. 2-0

[IdahoBert]

Gleyber Torres singles on a line drive to right fielder Zach Dezenzo. Jace Jung scores.

[IdahoBert]

The Astros keep sending up these guys that have 0.00ERA. That’s not fair. This guy is due to allow runs.  

[IdahoBert]

The birthday boy singles to put runners on first and second

[Dan Gilmore]

Olson looking stellar.
