Well the KC series better bring better Babip. 

That was my alliteration for the month

I'm not really worried. This whole series featuring this minor league ballpark seemed unreal. That said, just 4 games up on Houston now with 27 still to go, so let's snap to it.

I really enjoy Bobby’s insights. His tales of being a ball player are very good. It’s not just reminiscences.

He was having a hard time with high breaking pitches and one of his coaches said that a pitch like that was already a home run and that all he had to do was to “tap it.“ It was a description of the minute mechanics of a specific challenge that evoked a sensuous immediacy.  

He has a good voice and a good sense of presence too.

Our guys definitely could use a day off after this, although as warriors, they wish they could get right back to it tomorrow so they can flip the script in as much of a hurry as possible.

Yeah. They all need some deep massages and chocolates with strawberries. Watch out KC!

They need a starting pitcher to shove...after Paddack.

If Bobby were to become Benetti's main partner for the rest of Jason's tenure here, I would tune in to him a lot more.
