    4/13 Schrödinger's Fandom

    What to do with Yoshida?

    None of characterizations are news to me or lost on me but you’ll recall two things; mini-phenom is not my phrase but yours. And my scenario was predicated on Story being healthy enough to return to infield action at 3B and Marcelo Mayer being ready to hold down the SS position. That means it’s...

Maybe he picks up a 1B mitt and spells our corner...

    Looked like Preds Man got his stick in on Heineken's hands on that partial break a few minutes ago.

    4.1 - Easter Funday

    I offered up ‘Tug McGuire’ but got nothing but crickets. Apparently Tug McGraw is too damn far in the past…

    3/30 - The Road Trip: Game 3

    Almost Brahminesque but too close to Revere, to revere. It would be most apt to choke his surrounding basepaths with traffic.

    As did Raffy’s shoulder, methinks.
