Nice try. 

We're 1-0 since I had a chicken salad sandwich for lunch.

Speaking of which. My wife learned recently how to make southern style chicken salad and it's amazing. 

Pecans, Grapes and Apples. It's so good. Especially when I crack my the smoked peppercorns soaked in bourbon for a couple weeks on top. Yum!

Cowboy hats for the win.

The MLB tonight report on the O's and Twins began with the words: "Dylan Bundy had one of those nights."

3.1 IP, 11 hits, 9 ER.

Yep, 2021 Bundy is alive and well.

If Ohtani will be on the mound in next day game, would he have enough time to sleep?

Still riding high off this win at 1am. What a game. Nothing like winning in Fenway. LTBU

Caught ONE thing today... the Bogaerts homer in the 8th .. said "welp, thats game"

 

Just cleared an attempt murder call, get back to my phone and see this.

 

This sucks.

 

 

I assume you're referring to the attempted murder, right?

Right?

The Angels broke their scoreless streak and they're 1-0 since I dropped the Code of Conduct last night. 

The GDT was also much better tonight.

Thanks everyone! 

Does this include every forum?

Great job by the boys to get the win in this one. Hopefully this will bode well regarding our bats returning.

Yes. Please flag a post that is inappropriate and we’ll review it. I’m also thinking about making the Hangout, Political forums private where you’ll have to be a member to view and post.

I just asked because I know you didn't want to get reports from there before.

This is a no brainer.

This team is in first and Ohtani, Fletcher, Walsh, Rendon and everyone batting 9th are not hitting well. We are getting good starts and solid bullpen work. We look at a game like tonight and feel like Detmers didn't pitch well. Went into Fenway in a 50 degree night game and gave them a chance to win. That's solid and what they need to be successful--pitchers not allowing teams to blow the game wide open. Give the offense a chance to win it.

Rendon in his last 8 games: 

 .276 BA

.353/.517/.870

I really hated how he pitched to the 8 and 9 hitters.

That's always frustrated me. Don't walk/hit the 7-8-9 guys. I mean look at our lineup; a walk/HBP to Wade, Fletcher, Velazquez, or Suzuki is golden to us. Hate it when guys do that. My point is if that's him "struggling", we're in a good place. He hasn't had that lights out start yet, but he's had several solid ones.
