It’s not about the wins or losses. I just want them to have fun and feel good about the effort. And respect their opponent. And the umpires, who are trying their hardest.

Game 121
I'm stuck at my job and I'm wondering what in
the world I can write about that will not cut in
to my daily tasks, so the boss doesn't strut in,
find out I'm not working, and then punch my gut in.
We're ordinary people (just like Tim Hutton)
It's hard to watch day games (unless you're a shut in),
but I can't look away because I'm a glutton.
I hope that Sale pitches like vintage Don Sutton
and that SOSH and the Sox avoid the blue button.

As for fun, the Savannah Bananas game is on NESN right now. I got bored, but the CF catching a fly-ball while doing a back-flip was very entertaining, I must say. I'd like to see Reffy try that! Anyway, good luck to the Boston Red Sox. Entertain me, please.
Devers is sliding up in the lineup. Tomorrow he's leading off. Sheesh, this guy needs to get hot again.
I've been following them for quite awhile. They are incredibly entertaining. The Harlem Globetrotters on grass..
If Greg Harris were the opposing starter, you'd post they were facing a pitcher with no hands
Weather permitting, my daughter and I will be seeing them tomorrow in Portland. She bought the tix months ago.
Stuck at work, can't watch. Will check in from time to time. If you all would be so good, can you maybe mention from time to time whether it looks like the boys and Alex are having fun? Body language. Laughing, stuff like that. You can comment on the Nats too.
I don't know any of the Globetrotters back in the day... but I'm pretty certain they were definitely on grass already.
So we're still on only 3 repeated lineups this season? That stat is almost unbelievable. I'm starting to wonder if it's some kind of record.
3-1 count and Devers is swinging at a slider in the dirt. Shit like that is why he's yet to take the next step and become an elite hitter.
When "watching" on game day, it's impossible to tell what's happening but "doubles on a fly ball to Adam Duvall" seems kind of common.
