The Kernels are one-hit wonders. Rain was the big winner.
August 19, 2022: Compartmentalization
One not great thing about our office is we have numerous departments each with few people, meaning everyone is specialized and no one really has a backup. I got tapped to help a department with someone on vacation. Did what I could and hope I did it all correctly based on the 30 minutes of training I got. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rob Augustine played for a couple of years in the Cleveland organization, never rising above Class A. He was (and maybe still is) an assistant baseball coach at Dakota Valley High School in my former home of North Sioux City. Happy birthday, Rob.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to strategery.

Sure, it's the Royals, but I'll take it.
Minor Details: Games of August 17
Lots of walks and a walkoff grand slam for the Wind Surge. Travis Adams pitches very well. Two extra-innings wins as the Twins sweep.
Alex G – Runner
Everybody still likes Alex G, right?

Marcus Lawton is the brother of Matt Lawton. He played in ten games for the Yankees in 1989.
I am annually saddened that there has never been a major league player named Ham Fast. There was Darcy Fast, who appeared in eight games for the Cubs in 1968 and later became a pastor. There have been six players with the first name of Ham, most notably Ham Hyatt, who was a reserve for seven seasons from 1909-1918, mostly with Pittsburgh.
2022 Game 116: Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins
Daniel Lynch
vs
Tyler Mahle
Finally a beatdown of a bad team. After a great start last night by former and again current teammate Gray, it's Mahle's turn to continue the great pitching. Especially if it means pitching deep in the game and removing the need for Pagán to enter the game.
