you never met their tennis players from the late 60s and 70s. Rod Laver. ...

Tough break on the Millas challenge. I get wanting the 3rd strike, and I think there's no such thing as an "obvious" blown call, but you kind of figure that Laz is going to blow some more obviously. Those challenges are valuable, and it was just the leadoff hitter.

3-1 lead after giving one back with2 doubles with 2 outs. Still, keep on attacking, get Lopez out of the game.

i know it’s a long way away but you can’t let Wood leave. You just can’t

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #16 on:** April 21, 2026, 07:46:53 pm »

Baldwin might be too good of a hitter to remain as a catcher. The DH helps, and certainly Olson blocks him getting reps at 1st, but he has to be an every day hitter.

I like Z-man in the booth.

If they do its a sign that the owners dont care

It was a terrible AB. Did you see him with the tablet afterwards? Looked like he was watching his AB, sort of shaking his head. Yes, it did really suck.

I’ve seen enough of Nunez. He is like t-ts on a bull. Doesnt matter how fast he is or how good his glove is he needs to get on base.
