Kahnle has only thrown 16 pitches in 1.1 innings of work. Just give him a chance for a save.

I enjoy just driving up there on the back roads in my pickup truck...Here we can get up to 12,000 feet or so without reaching peaks... Of course I’ve driven to the top of Pikes Peak many times and Mt. Evans once. Both are 14,000 fro+ Foot mountains, but those are tourist roads... I like hitting the back road mountain passes and sometimes the “original” passes that were used before the modern heavy equipment built more passable roads... But, in spite of our youth <smile> we don’t camp out...Just enjoy the views... and if we’re lucky, some animals... we are so fortunate living among these mountains, inger….I went up once by myself on a survival trip last summer, and Dee made such a fuss....crying etc. after I got back..so I may not be able to go again...I will have to feel it out, rather than just tell her I'm going, because she was upset, and I hate to see that.... Do you find some old abandoned towns and mines?....the ones here are well picked-over by others over the intervening years...most of the day-trip rides are just for the views, and a picnic lunch in some shaded meadow...it beats sitting at home... Colorado has their share of both the towns and mines. Sadly, most are protected so it’s hard to get near them, to touch them. I found one ghost town on a map last time Ruthie’s daughter and grand daughter visited because they said they’d like to see a ghost town. So, of course I drive 1.5 hours, not knowing what to expect. When we get to the approximate site, we see a guy that’s standing near the road. His house was nearby, and he explained to us that the road into the town washed out about two years before. He said plenty of people (probably only a few dozen) had walked up the hill and viewed what remained. We were at about 7500 feet, and the hill might have been a 200-300 foot climb over a quarter mile. Everyone in the truck but me was overweight, and of course they were from sea level. I knew they couldn’t make the climb, so I left when my daughter-in-law started suggesting that she had seen this scene in a horror movie before and didn’t want to climb the hill for fear that the “weird guy” we had met would be waiting at the top to butcher us all... LOL. I did get to pick up a few rocks to take home and got a close up look at some old mining equipment that day near the bottom of the hill, glimpsing part of a building at the top. Tourists want this stuff delivered to them on a silver platter. We take a drive and it’s “I don’t see all these wild animals you’re supposed to have out here. Where are the gold mines, ghost towns, wild mustangs, cougars? I was hoping to see those bighorn sheep butting each other, where is that”?...”Ya’ got any of those bears that catch fish we can see”?... Hey, sheep! We’ll give you ten dollars if you butt each other. Twenty if you’ll send your young out in the path of a cougar... Then the dopes get near a wild animal in a national or state park and want to pet it... |

No player in MLB would benefit more from an electronic strike zone than Aaron Judge. If it gets set up right for him. Still a human element... |

smeltzer who apparently is just up from the minors throws 55 pitches against the best set of hitters in baseball.
