Is it still raining briefs.
I did. In my defense, it should have been a day game. Someone start a game zone thread. I would but we almost always lose the ones I start.

Yep, that’s correct.
Kevin Bass murdered a HR off the LF wall, we sat 1B/Astros side, low in the red seats, with Dad and Dr. Hawes, his UH Journalism Professor .
Damn good time even if the Astros lost.
The Rangers managed to get walked-off by a 2-out, 2-strike, 2-run IF single

Semien holding the ball while the 2nd runner has rounded 3rd at full speed is also a WTF? moment

Semien’s entire season is a WTF moment.

Wow, I had no idea he’d fallen off a cliff this year. He’s had a few monster seasons in the not-too-distant past.
Rangers owe him $72M over the next 3 seasons.
No shit. He ended up 50 ft from the bag and had zero chance to get to that ball. That’s a routine game ending groundout to 2B.

Ouch: Corbin Burnes headed to TJ surgery. Sucks fo AZ.
He left his last game yelling “fuck! My elbow!” and waving for the trainer.
Looks like Brown was pretty agitated. From an article behind the paywall at The Athletic. It’s an interesting read.
“That was my concern. We got a lot of schedule left and so I want to protect the boys,” Brown said. “My whole point is to protect the players at all costs. I got a little frustrated.
“If we were here tomorrow, it would’ve been no problem. The fact we had to get on a flight and go to Cleveland, post in Cleveland against a good team, getting in late. I had my ace going, too, in bad weather. I was worried about guys getting hurt. And I showed it.”

I wonder if GMs ever get jealous that they can’t do like a manager and make a big show of getting tossed in support of their guys. It looks like Dana saw his chance (the closest he’ll get, anyway) and went for it.

I know this won’t be popular around here but I actually enjoy a lot of the content his company produces. I don’t hold a grudge over 2019 and the buzzing stuff anymore. They do a lot of good for the game, especially with bringing younger fans in and I think it’s a great move by MLB to invest in them. Just my 2 cents
