  1. So Switzer’s son is coaching and grandson is on the bases?
  2. Miami is the hottest they’ve been all year. 8-2 L10 with a chance to get back to .500 on the season today. Stowers a grand slam earlier this weekend, just hit a 3 run homer to go up 6-1 in the 4th as they attempt to sweep the Yankees.
  3. I’m up to 20.

  4. That’s great. Good call on the planning. The closest thing I have to resemble your example was 2017. Day 1: Fly to Philly. Astros vs Phillies Day 2: Bus to NYC. Day 3: Subway to Yankee Stadium. Yankees vs Rays Day 4: Drive to Cooperstown Day 5: Hall of Fame induction day (Bagwell, Rock Raines, Pudge Rodriguez, John Schuerholz, f Selig) Day 6: Drive to Boston. Red Sox vs Indians Day 7: Fly home
  5. I’ve slowed on my march to all 30 (only 1 new one in the last two years) but checked off Loandepot Park last Monday with 11,127 of my closest friends. That place cost $600M to build and it looks it. Sucks it gets to host a WBC final next year. At least it has a roof and the AC is good. The whole time all I could think about was “this is like a 21st century version of the Alamodome.” The ambiance was worse than a minor league game. They didn’t even try to get the crowd in to it. (Not the worst thing… no one needs to hear “errybody clap yo hands”). But it was still bizarre at how little attempt there was to get the crowd to be part of the action. I guess a 2-1 game in front of 11k is about as snooze worthy as it gets. at least I saw a Stowers homer…. And Martin Maldonado double. (And as evidence I know nothing about Marlins baseball history, I did learn it was built on the site of the old orange bowl which makes sense because I was really confused how a current day stadium could be built in the middle of a residential area… and also learned the current “Miami Marlins” name is a nod to the old independent leagues. This a great (longcat) read on Satchel Paige ending his career with the Miami Marlins: https://sabr.org/journal/article/satchel-paige-twilight-with-the-marlins/
  6. PSA; A baseball game at a race car track starts in 5 minutes.
  7. Roku paid for the rights to broadcast early Sunday game.ls. they are not a sports network. They use existing production/ announcer crews
  8. What shitty prop bets are Yainer and Framber cashing in right now ?
  9. Headcase Framber. he's not getting another out. get him out asap
  10. I see our OFers are still dumbasses at letting guys get an extra 90’
  11. when's the last time we wore the fire orange three days in a row?
  12. Haha Yep saw that. along with Bochy’s “why the f am I here“ stare
  13. A 0.2 WAR losing 21 games is pretty impressive. and lol at Steve Sparks going 0-6 on that team in 42 appearances https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/DET/2003.shtml
  14. I usually suck at the trivia on this thread but proud of myself that I thought Parrish when I saw this clue (and before seeing Beau vines post)
  15. Man some great clips in here.
  16. How dare you besmirch the good name of Professor Hendricks
  17. Sounds like the Astros so they’ll probably end up meeting in the LCS
  18. There was no issue until Joe and John came on camera…
  19. Rain delay… lol
  20. Definitely a game ending double play coming
  21. Starting to think we might not win this game
