Shows what happens when Joey Gallo and Michael Taylor aren't taking up two roster spots. But even Buxton and a few others have cut down on the strikeouts.
Aquinas is playing in what might be his last baseball game ever tonight. Playoffs start next week but he'll be on a mission trip. Maybe if thet make the championship and he gets in that game, but that's not certain. I doubt he'll play next year.
I knew it would end sometime, but it's feeling pretty heavy right now.
The Boy played Y-ball a couple times, but when it came to "real" baseball, my lovely wife vetoed it for some reason.
Baseball is cliquey in our town, but I think it was mostly the time commitment. Which is ironic, because the Girl ended up playing a lot of soccer, including one year on a comp team where we had to drive 45 minutes each way for practice....
Pretty amazing to see a team that smashed K records last year striking out only in 21st place this year.

Additionally, in spite of losing starters off last year's squad, we're still throwing the most Ks again this year, to go with a good BB ratio.
22 years ago today. Also, Bonds picking up Torii was probably the most fun thing he did during his steroid stage.
back when they wore uniforms for their own teams...I miss that
don't get me started
even if they all wore their city connect unis, it would still be better
Wasn't this the same game that ended in a tie?
(settin' it up for the gif - I see what you're doing here)

That's hilarious. Good pull.
Just got Savannah Bananas tickets for September 8 Des Moines. Can't wait!
I know I've been gone for many years now, but just what in the hell are you guys doing over there?
Perhaps the perfect representation of Midwestern cuisine.
Hey Runner, in case you didn't see it, Rick Wakeman is on tour this fall and he's hitting St. Louis October 20th. The Sheldon Theater.

I DID see that. Saw him at the Sheldon a few years ago (2nd row!), still kicking this one around.
Game postponed to straight doubleheader tomorrow.
