Might as well win the first game of this series...for Framber's sake.

i got my picture taken with skeeter barnes once when he was manager of the lakeland tigers, circa 2000.  sadly i have misplaced it

I like the pitching matchups in this series. Flaherty may be a question mark but he's going up against Brady Singer and his 5.32 ERA.

I remember going to a Mud Hens game and a group of maybe a dozen fans would wildly yell “SKEETER!” when he came up to bat.  Unsurprisingly, that group seemed to have vacated after beer sales were done.

Jahmai in the outfield vs Gleyber at 2B with a groundball starter...hard to pick lol.

I should really ease up on Jones’ defense given my own fielding foibles in softball lately.

Well, and the thing about Jones’ slow start at the plate this season.  I forget which pod it was, but one of them this week mentioned his rustiness to start the season given his time at the WBC with Korea and how that might have set him back a bit and not being able to get going.  That probably is a variable that seems to be reasonable.
