As such some of this may seem elementary and that’s on purpose.
Speaking of intent, I fucked up yesterday in saying the Dodgers held a 2-1 lead over the Padres.
Shit-for-brains I may be in a moment, but that was a casual mistake and some times they happen.
In the Padres, you have a borderline WCW/NWO amalgamation of entertaining and extremely talented bad boy heels.
And then fast forward to next June.
And truly,almost-anything is possible in context of these Mets and Tigers runs.
The fact they’re happening concurrently should only reinforce the obvious patience demanded to endure a full baseball season.
And yet alas - I’m here to say I still don’t give a fuck.
Sloppy baseball in May is exactly that: Sloppy baseball in May.
That I can guarantee.
Some other observations before tonight’s games:
1.
Turns out that happens to almost all of us always.
Really just a matter if it’s in April or August or October.
Accept it now to dull the pain later.
That’s Classic Cal State Fullerton material as evidenced by this still screenshot from grainy scouting footage.
More specifically, the average sized righty commands 4 pitches and fills the strike zone.
He’s got this Tim Lincecum/Trevor Bauer-esque drop and drive, kinda.
But it’s less extreme and more repeatable.
Think Drew Brees throwing a quick slant with the arm action being so quick and short to the ear.
That said, he’s not overpoweringper sebut more like a powerful kitchen sink.
Tanner Bibee absolutely is capable of being that guy.
That’s the first key statistic: hardly 6 feet, 160 pounds without a shred of facial hair.
By all measures, Reese Olson looks more like Mary Kate and Ashley if you know what I mean.
Another undersized aspect of his game is the homerun rate.
He makes up for it with really nice balance across his pitch selection and tremendous athleticism to execute.
All that with the youthful naivety to overlook the gravity of the moment and simply just pitch.
He’s got better stuff and has been working towards this moment since missing all of August.
Instead I can leave to that Aaron Judge
4.
What The Fuck Aaron?
Giancarlo is sweet and I say that in full support of the Kansas City Royals.
I’m biased the other way here and that’s okay.
Michael Wacha has a lower ERA than Gerrit Colewhich is kind of interesting only because it’s Michael Wacha.
That’s fuckin bad ass no matter your allegiance.
Not with elimination baseball looming so let’s close with some predictions.
You’re welcome to join me, just do so responsibly in all respects.
And of course, God Bless America
