Maintaining a well-trimmed full beard, which I did for many years, is more work than just shaving every day. . I struggle at times to maintain my mustache and beard on my chin. That’s part of being ADHD, I suppose… I had a closely trimmed full beard for many years...not the scruffy Justin Turner style so popular with many of today's players...but trimmed close to the skin, from the time I was 25. Got the impulse to shave it once, went to get one of my kids out of his crib and he totally freaked out...didn't recognize me. I eventually shaved it down to what's often called a goatee, but is actually a Van Dyke. I've gotten lazy in my senior years, and only shave maybe once a week now, but keep the Van Dyke, although it now looks like I dipped my chin in a glass of milk. |

Orioles won. Yankees are 2 games behind. 3 games behind in the all important loss column.

Hopefully the Yanks can keep pace, although I'm thinking more a Wild Card. Some context... The Orioles led 6-1 going into the 8th and blew the entire lead between the 8th and 9th innings with Kimbrel giving up 3 runs. They were able to score in the 10th to win, but Kimbrel is def not the elite closer he once was. |

As I've said since the beginning of last year...they're the team to beat. |

At least when you enlarge the picture you can see that part of the white is his color and the beard does have a neat & trimmed look… Still baseball’s tallest position player at 6’8”.., Now that I'm looking at it on my laptop instead of my phone, I can see what you mean. It looks like it would take hours each day to keep it that perfectly trimmed. I bet there's rubber band behind his head, holding it on.  |

I like Miller, he looks real talented, but has never pitched a big game in his MLB career so far. Closing for the A's is not exactly Closing for the Yankees Hader has a 3.68 ERA and 5 loses this season ... 2022 he had a 5 plus ERA ... he's been pretty inconsistent |
