I thought they weren't allowed to shift to wherever Kepler decides to weakly the ball to?

Wee Maxie Keepler's motto: "Hit 'em Where They Is."

I remember my younger brother got married in Paris. I was asked to speak at the reception, so I got up and said, "Here's to you, my brother and his lovely bride. Eggs, Cinnamon, bread, and maple syrup."

 

Yup, a french toast.

Kepler with a weak 3 hopper to the right side. Weird.

As it came off the bat I was initially optimistic because of the new shift rules.  But somewhere between the second and third hops the passing of seasons taking place outside my window caused me to nod off...

That reminds me...

It's early in the season. Not everyone is going to be at their best right out of the gate. But I have no doubt that things will get much better as we get deeper into the season.

Went to Brussels, couldn't decide between ordering the Sprouts or a Beer.  Couldn't decide, couldn't decide... so what did they finally bring me?

Yup, a Belgian waffle.

He very much kept the ball away from Witt Jr. I don't think he really wanted to walk him, but he wasn't going to give in.

Dick called that DP a 3-6-3, then corrected himself and called it a 3-6-4.

Actual: 3-2-4.

Greinke not afraid of Gallo.  He must figure Gallo can't hit breaking stuff as he has pretty thrown him all strikes.

No one is afraid of Joey "send him to the" Gallo...

[gunnarthor]

Ugh. Tried to turn on the game and see that Bally isn't on youtube tv. That sucks.

I have always assumed Chief's game thread jokes really hit their stride around November.

The panel would also have accepted "No."
