Apparently, Yaz tested positive for COVID and they are doing contact tracing. Hopefully everyone is OK. Damn glad we have Webby on the bump today. Let's sweep these gnats.

6-1 good guys.

PS. LWJ played last night in Sac, and Ramos is BALLING there.

I would WAG Wade will be joining the team sometime this week. The roster shrinks to 26 next weekend (not certain the exact day). MASSIVE roster crunch coming.

Ramos is ripe. He is at the front door and his polite knocks are becoming aggressive pounds. He will be delayed for clock reasons (it is just a thing, we gotta deal with it), but he will be up, likely for good, this season.

Yaz just starting to find his stroke and he has a minor setback. Hope this doesn’t keep him out too long.

I am just starting the game now, and they have the infield warmups in the background. Fox is nealing between grounders thrown to him. I was listening to the game on the radio, so I know what happened…


edit: I didn’t know THAT was about to happen, though…

 

[calsnowskier]

Who else is hoping for someone to hit a huffer right about now?

Is it true that someone was yakking on the field? Did anyone see this?

 

[tzill]

Well, that was a disappointing bottom of the first from our ace....

 

[tzill]

apparently it was Lucius Fox, our old friend, who was yakking.

It was Fox. Cameras didn’t pick him up until he was standing next to the mound. I don’t think they came out and did any clean up even though Estes and Miller kept saying they would/should.

JEWSAC!!

Somewhere, a board member is smiling.

I saw a video of the clean up. Buckets of water.

I reserve the right to change my mind if the game goes awry, but Estes has become a very good color dude.

ARG! Minds with nothing better to do think alike.

He can’t leave DC until he tests negative, I think.

After the second pitch of the game, Luscious yackitty yacked behind the mound, just to the 1B side.
