  1. Pro tip: when you say something kind, and then you feel the need to go on and type the word "BUT...." press the backspace key a few times and just hit Submit Reply and go on with your day.
  2. "OK, we lost a game Wednesday. If we lose today, it's called 'two in a row'. And if we lose again tomorrow, it's called a 'losing streak'... It has happened before!"
  3. I'm a big believer in hospice care, your family is doing a kind thing for him, and I will leave it at that.
  4. With more than 10% of the season now completed, it's a little late to get in on this lucrative action. Eleven wins in the bank obviously changes the odds. The highly professional sports book that I run will probably be crunching the numbers any day now to provide a revised betting line. Any. Day. Now. (All of which is to say: I don't take any prognostications seriously including my own. If I did, I certainly wouldn't have brought that one up. 😁 )
  5. Yeah, my post really was nothing more than to say that the season is long, it has ups and downs, and you never know. There's a 100-win team and a 100-loss team lurking inside of each squad* - which kind of goes along with the 54-54-54 formula. * Except the Dodgers and Yankees, probably.
  6. That's why it's an entertaining quote from an old-timey manager, and not an actual recipe for analysis or nothin'. 😁 Another old quote may be more relevant. You can sum up baseball in one word: "you never know."
  7. Today's home run becomes important if it's the start of a trend. Up until now he's been walking a lot. If he can begin to punish pitches in the strike zone, while still laying off the pitches outside it - well, that's a deceptively simple formula that has stood the test of time, right? That, plus doing all of it against opponents who throw right-handed too. 😁
