Booth says Joe Smith warming up

We didnā€™t have a dive team, and I would not have gone near that anyway. I swam because they needed another guy or two on the team. My sister, who was a grade ahead of me, was one of the stars on the girls team. She convinced me to do it. It was off-season from baseball, so I decided why not.

And Iā€™m not liking how this inning is shaping up

Kidding aside, I love kids getting to try different sports.

Thatā€™s harder to do these days for many big districts.

I think kids specialize too early. Playing multiple sports is good for you as an athlete. And itā€™s good for the soul too.

You donā€™t think plunking the HPU to go 2-0 after a walk is good baseball?

Shit. Bases loadedā€¦one out

Lance has really bookended this start with hot garbage.

8-4 now

Lucky that stayed in the park.

Am I the only one thinking Straw had a play at the plate?

Wellā€¦Joe Smith in.

It got weird, didnā€™t it?

Well that was easy. Maybe we should trade for that guy.

McCullers is maddening. He has so much talent.

He still needs to learn the art of pitching.

McCullers is like that basketball player who hits five straight 3-pointers, then misses 12 free throws.

My view of you? I have always assumed you to be an outSTANding student athlete for the Plant City Gardeners.

President of the Honor Society. Obviously a keen member of the Debate Club.

Thank you, Mitch
