I base this off of nothing but pure ignorance, but it feels like they frequently go up there looking for offspeed pitches.
Whoever is coaching Cam Smith is on the verge of ruining a fantastic prospect.

Not on a 3-2 pitch trailing 6 runs. Or you shouldnât.
I would have thought the same as you, but here we are
Iâm reminded of the words of Dandy Don (no, not the MNF clip, though that applies too):

Couldnât get the video to work, but hereâs a brief quote from what I assume is the same story:
As Walt Garrison told the story on Dale Hansenâs Sports Special on WFAA on Sunday night, the Cowboysâ charter flight after a game sometime back in the late '60s had just dropped 300 feet in a violent storm, like an elevator in free fall, and big, tough NFL football players were screaming and crying left and right.
Someone looked over at quarterback Don Meredith, who sat calmly reading a magazine, a cigarette in one hand and a scotch in the other.
âArenât you scared?â asked the player (some say it was linebacker D.D. Lewis).
Replied Meredith, sipping his scotch, âItâs been a good 'un, ainât it?â
The story just about perfectly sums up the man who liked to tell his teammates to always remember their ABCs â Always Be Cool.

Yes thatâs the one.
It has been a better run than I ever could have imagined.

I get the frustration with this season. But Crane has yet to give any indication that any ârunâ is âoverâ. Iâll wait until I see what they do this offseason before I start adding lines to the eulogy.
Headline on mlb.com right now:
LIVE: Going for a stunning sweep, Seattle starts it with a slam
Itâs only stunning if you havenât been watching the Astros.

Crane is not hitting in the middle of this lineup.
Neither is anyone else.
Are there any bars open in Midland?

Little Woodrowâs. Itâs actually quite pleasant sitting outside.

As long as youâre not looking at the screen I reckon.
There seems to be another popular place in town called Woodyâs Hideaway. Looks like youâve got your choice of Woodys up there. Another plus is that I would wager your commute is shorter. You can probably sleep in until 5:30 if itâs a day you didnât plan on shaving.
The one in Houston on Alabama? was always a nice place
Woodyâs Hideaway is all the way across town. Itâs take me 7-8 minutes to get there. Fuck that.
And yes, sleeping in until 5:30 is one of the things Iâm looking forward to most.

Itâs still 7-1 at the Stretch, for those still interested.
I went to the one on Holcombe / Bellaire Blvd. I think the name changes at the train tracks there but Iâm not sure, I donât think anyone is sure. I also went to one on Chimney Rock because one of my idiot cousins liked to hang out there for who knows what reason.
I may very well have been to the one on Alabama with Limey once but regrettably details are vague.
Ehh, the Limey incident was a place on Richmond, now that I think about it. That doesnât mean I never went to that LWâs with Limey, though. It just means I remember it even less.
Cole may be one of the nice finds in this org. I know itâs only been a few at bats, but heâs already earned some significant playing time. And I still think Cam Smith will be a fine player.

Few who attend a night out with Limey remember many details.
