TBM-850

Detmers buzzed the tower. High and inside on Ohtani. Shutout through 5. Speaking of buzzing the tower, a southwest pilot damn near flew into the control tower a couple days ago. Tower gave her a go-around at the last minute. Terrible weather but still.

He was a fun player to watch on a team that usually wasn't. The only regret is not trading him+ at the deadline for a couple top 100 prospects. Neto, Schanuel, O'Hoppe, Quero plus another two top prospects would have made a good young core.

Fat pitchers had a tough time with the pitch clock. Manoah's walk rate more than doubled from 2.33 bb/9 to 6.08 bb/9. Lance Lynn and our Suarez both doubled their walk rate too. Manoah's velocity also dropped 1mph, perhaps from the fatigue. Pitching is a precise athletic movement. If you can't control your heart rate you will lose that precision. There was a reason why fats like Colon and Baez were walking rain delays. They were taking extra time to control their heart rates. My own precision (shooting) dips at 90 bpm and at 150+ bpm it's tough to even hit the target. Manoah would be a good buy low acquisition but I expect TOR will try to get him in better shape instead of selling low.

15 minutes, here we go.

Top view of water deluge.

Just next year. This year's perigee was nothing too special.

It looks like they are stacking starship onto super heavy booster for the 2nd launch attempt. Last time (april) the 19 million pounds of thrust destroyed the launch pad and dug a huge hole which took months to fix and redesign with a water deluge system. Let's see if they got it right.

It's at perigee today. The next time it will be this close will be Oct 2024.

A hard landing at John Wayne airport during the storm. Left landing gear driven up through the wing. A short runway, heavy crosswind, darkness and wet runway (braking) are a bad combo.

Career RISP hitting: Bellinger .255/.357/.471 wRC+ 111 Trout .309/.457/.603 wRC+ 174

The ump needed to shit or something. About 5 calls outside the zone went our way. Nice win.

Interviewing a player during live action? Dumb. Putting the game in a small box so you can show another box of the guy standing there? Worse. Putting a wide border AROUND the small live action box to make it even smaller? Fucking stupid.

Montero was nails last year and this year he's throwing BP. Bullpen volatility doesn't just happen to the Angels.

Phil Cooze. Is that a name or a suggestion?
