So that does look a lot more difficult than I remember high school ball being. I guess Gallo would beat me in a hitting contest probably. 

the kid throwing 65 is more difficult than you remember hs ball being? am i missing the sarcasm?

Yeah I was definitely talking about him and not Leclerc throwing 97.

Wait am I missing the sarcasm?

I'm not being sarcastic, just surprised a kid throwing 60-65 is a higher level of HS play than you remembered.

I just saw the breakdown of Longhorns in the Show this season (plus a couple that will likely get the call at some point from AAA who've already been up but aren't up now).  

I didn't realize that Kody Clemens has played 8 of 9 positions in the field, including pitcher.   Everything except CF.  And he's DH'd.  Pretty cool.  

Elder had a fantastic April.  Hope he gets more starts as the season progresses.  He's earned it.

My coaches always taught me to attack grounders. Never realized I should’ve taken looping routes to them and then just unloaded a Peacekeeper missile in the general direction of 1st base the entire time.

Dodgers v Dbacks are in a delay due to a bee colony.  That’s a first for me.

There was one in Baltimore’s bullpen last summer.  Fortunately, it wasn’t in close proximity to players or fans and became only a curiosity.  If I recall, a beekeeper came after the game, captured the queen, and escorted her and her minions to another location.

Yup, never heard that reason. 

 

 

Happened at Petco in 2019.

 

Also happened during a Reds-Giants game in May of 2019.

Look at Jon Singleton batflipping here like he's Korean:

10/10

Does that announcer accidentally say, "That was an absolutely blistered ball into the upper taint?"  What in the hell?

Okay, that makes more sense.  Doesn't make sense, but it makes more sense.  If that makes any sense.  That was a great shot though.  Exit velocity had to be off the charts.  

I know there's more disparity than ever in the game, but to see two teams already---on May 1st---to be 13.5 games behind is just fucking incredible to me.  I know it's a cruel game and that's the point, but to be that far back on May Day, how do fans even bother this summer?  Ah well, at least my hometown Cubbies are starting to get their shit together again.  

Anecdotal, but Mookie Betts has been playing out of his fucking mind this past month.
