Man I hate bullpen games and I hate them more in the middle of a playoff race. If Craig Breslow had done his job at the deadline and got a real starting pitcher instead of the entirely ineffective Dustin May, the Red Sox wouldn’t be in this situation.

I was just thinking how good the pitching is these days and then I see this. 😂
The Phillies got 21 hits Monday.
They got 20 hits today.
In the modern era, the last time before this they had 2 games in the same series with 20+ hits would be ...
Never.
Baseball is crazy sometimes.

I had my biggest adventure in a ride share this week. I reserved a car to take me from my hotel to South Station in Boston. Not really paying attention and I look up and we’re at the airport. Glad I gave myself a good buffer or would have missed my train.

To be fair, you need to have contact for the bats to provide an advantage.
So it turns out the torpedo bats aren’t magic wands deserving breathless international news coverage after all. The Brewers pitching staff is just godawful.
Here’s what the Yankees’ torpedo bats look like tonight against Zac Gallen:

My baseball dream is for fans to get mad at the billionaire owners who are lying about being broke and not spending money instead of the billionaire owners who are spending money.
The dodgers used to have owners who took all the ticket money and bought themselves mansions instead of pitching!

I just got an email from Fubo reminding me that I can remove NFL Red Zone and save $11 a month. They didn’t have to tell me, but they did and talk about a goodwill gesture that makes you feel good about a brand.
