You completely deserve the 1.090 and you have been amazing as a stopper. It earned Max a hell of a lot per year so you might want to reach out to Rizzo.

Oh, my word!  You talk about inspiring the next set of prospects.

As we were leaving the ballpark, a bunch of the folks were saying "thank you San Diego for the weather, too."  I've never been to a game with better temp / wind / humidity. 

When Bryce was at bat, the usher for my section held everyone up at the top of the stairs, saying "It's Bryce at bat.  Don't go down until he hits his homer.  Folks will be upset with you if you are in their way."  Then he went deep. She says that's happened before.

I'll have to re-rum if the Caps win tonight.

If only they did that on all the other at bats too.

This brings up a point I was just thinking about this morning. I wonder if Soto and Robles - maybe Severino and Difo to a lesser extent - actually will have a positive impact on our recruiting ability in the DR? I certainly think we're showing the kids down there that we are willing to push kids through the system, and that they don't necessarily have to be "finished products" to make the MLB roster.

Obviously it can't hurt, but I wonder if it has any positive impact.
