That was the most concerning part of yesterday's games. Yeah, there was a big story in the Dhaka Daily Bugle. LOL, it was fun being on TV! |

Kaybli -- did the move get off to a good start? Is this the brother with whom you famously appeared on TV? Yes, thanks for asking pipps. Same brother who was on TV. I sent him and his wife on his way on a one way ticket from Newark to Los Angeles. He has landed safely and is now getting a rental car. The main hassle is they have a toy poodle that went with them. But they drugged him up and he was apparently good on the plane. On to new adventures on the West Coast! Maybe I'll catch a Dodgers or Angels game when I visit him. Sounds great Kaybli. For sure catch some games out there, even though it's more fun to visit in winter. Dodger Stadium is one of my favorite ballparks. Plus you are guaranteed to see a fight break out in the stands at no extra charge. |

2022 Factoid:
Aaron Judge has K’d 85 times this year. No one cares.
Joey Gallo has K’d 87 times this year. “All he does is strike out.” Perception can be cruel…

After yesterday's meltdown, Aroldis Chapman has allowed 13 hits and given out 13 walks in 14 IP. That translates to an overheated WHIP of 1.857. In his 13 major league seasons, Chapman's worst WHIP ever was 1.314, a mark he hit last year. The trend is not his friend. The most important trend is his age, which continues to climb. Then the speed of his fastball, which isn’t going to be 106 ever again. His confidence has to be shriveling away. If Jim Bouton was still alive he might call him up and ask about the knuckleball… |

Interestingly there are players with up to 109 K’s on other teams… |

I hope McKenzie can earn a raise this year so he can afford some food. Damn. He’s a string bean… a fast food cut French fry… a worm of a man…

Three hard hit balls but nothing to show for it in the first.

McKenzie wasn't fooling anybody, but three up three down.
