There's no one complaining about Walsh being so low in the lineup?

Because he's hitting .223 when batting 2nd,3rd and 4th.

I actually don't care where he's batting.  I was just posting that b/c rafibomb asked why no one was asking that.

Tomorrow at 4pm PST. PM me your email address. 

We've been doing them weekly since March 15th, 2020.  

Yeeesh - like that's not an ominous date - only if that were also Friday the 13th could that be a less-auspicious date to start anything - surprised you haven't all gotten fat and/or bald and/or old ...  

On that note - that's also my birthday, and on my 21st, I celebrated the 10th anniversary of drinking my first beer ...

Canning throwing too many pitches

But just enough pickoff attempts.

Sutton is once again talking about random college baseball coaches.  I get that he worked for Perfect Game, did some college baseball announcing, etc.--but seriously, man, no one cares about this stuff.  It's utterly irrelevant.

Also just found this article.  Had never heard about this before:

http://archive.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/160734375.html

"Fox decided to replace Sutton with Eric Collins because Sutton has been taken off Diamondbacks telecasts by the team. Neither Sutton nor the team has said why Sutton was removed.

ESPN.com, citing "a baseball source," said Sutton "was suspended for 'insubordination' after determining that he had failed to comply with a number of management directives over the years."

He just texted me that he's not a fan of you, either.

Canning not sharp tonight 

[jsnpritchett]

What was up with Rendon there?  Seems like he should have had that one.

You must have just tuned  in.

Nice play by Fletch but Rendon should have had it.

I'll have a chat with him about that tomorrow.

The 2nd inning that he got around that lead off double. 

[eligrba4ever]

Woo Hoo!! Canning gets 6 outs in < 60 pitches. 59 actually.

Rendon is waking up! Better late than never 

[Slegnaac]

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.
