Seriously? A 12:20 start?

Robles initiates a beautiful 8-3 DP in the fifth.

Down 2-1 though.

Believe it or not, I try to do work at least some of the time.

2-1 BArves bottom of the 5th. Espino doing Espino things. Tres getting a chance and chips in with a couple knocks.

I got off a call, went to Baseball-Reference to check the game time, and ...

Did Abrams get a double or did they call that an error?

What the hell? There must be a late afternoon ribbon cutting for the new Gravy Barn in the Croker Concourse.

Traffic is the usual excuse for Atlanta start times.

Putting the stadium out in the middle of exurban sprawl seems to be the right solution to traffic woes

Juan who?

Meneses

I have to wonder if there's been a guy whose 1st call up was after turning 30 and after 8/1 who has hit 10 HRs.

Finnegan to face 8-9-1 in the ninth. Which Finnegan will we see?

Ali the Baseball Cat · « **Reply #11:** September 21, 2022, 03:24:21 PM »

Kyle Jeckyll or Kyle Hyde?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #12:** September 21, 2022, 03:30:34 PM »

so we get the benefit of a fake strike 3 on Grissom?
