Yay! A warm body willingly took the job!

Welcome to the board Frank!

At some point you have to figure that if you’re going to be a part of a shit show, at least it’s a show comprised of firm, healthy looking shit. The show must go on is true of shit shows too, so at least you wanna have a full cast and crew.

They might as well just promote Eliot Wolf.

I thought l saw his 13 yo daughter was with him too. Adding to the sadness...

What were we thinking?

Many of these guys have ties to my alma mater Miami University, aka “the cradle of coaches.” Hell, l didn’t even know Sean McVay went there until glancing at the below link. Kinda odd a school that hasn’t been known for its football program for many many years cranks out so many great coaches, but the list is impressive. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cradle_of_Coaches

I’ll admit it is a 3 plus hour game with maybe 20 minutes of excitement, but l love it. I get into the little things, like a batter’s routine before he steps into the box or a pitcher with a quirky delivery. And l looove the atmosphere going to games. Relaxed, the conversation flows, the beer vendors with their funny sales pitches, the high fives after a home run. I actually get excited about rain delays. It’s like nirvana to me. So peaceful staring out over the diamond. No expectations, no urgency about anything.

Remind me to ask D Bone for some lotto numbers next time he’s on.

I knew it was a men’s sport back in the day. 90 mph seems high. Like world record high. The best of the best of the girls tops out at around 70. The leg slap is likely a mechanism to find the release point for the pitch.

Sigh...

Women’s fastpitch softball is fun. Similar to baseball but has its own nuances. Everything is closer together, base paths, and rubber to mound, so the action is fast. Also, there are more types of pitches in softball than in baseball, like rise balls and drop curves to go with fastballs and change ups and such.

Boom! Yessiree. Now can l get one right? Or at least closer to right?

Biggest laugh l had today. You can literally use that in casual conversation at the dinner table. Point down and say “l see your tittynopes.”
