xBA of .050, improbably, gets the job done.

Good on Phils coaches and players immediately talking to Kerkering but gotta feel for him.

That was a hell of a plate appearance by Bader despite the outcome.

Final stop on a trip to get my wife out of the house as she recovers from ankle surgery. Drove to Blowing Rock, Little Switzerland, and then Nebo/FF before making it home

Just checked their site - wow!

Jason Collette @jasoncollette.bsky.social · 20h

It was excellent. Glad we made the detour to visit it.

Huge fan of the place

The food is good, but not sure it’s worth this long of a wait

True, but I was also rather entrenched in my belief he would be a bust and more like the second half guy he was than the freak we saw in the first half.

of course MLB stuck it to the writers scheduling Game 1 of the World Series on the night the movie debuts

Talking with a colleague about Judge's HR last night and am still stunned by the improbability of it all. To pull 99.7 MPH fastball that far in off the plate & keep it fair requires superhuman abilities.

We looked up anything we could find in StatCast & got a null result

Cannot believe he got around that thing like that.

Jason Collette @jasoncollette.bsky.social · 2d

There are like 3 players in the history of this sport capable of crushing that pitch and keeping it fair. We just watched one of them do it. Wow

Raleigh’s homer was so impressive in a park that gives nothing to lefties hitting oppo. It went 391 feet. It was the longest opposite-field homer by a lefthanded hitter at Comerica this year.

Imagine spending hundreds for the opportunity to be arrested and trespassed for a few years if not forever. Idiots

Challenging a check swing interference is the stuff championships are made of 🙄
