As a big Baseball fan, I really did enjoy the game at Rickwood Field last night and the throwback graphics that they had on display were very cool as well. I also found it amusing when they were comparing the old stories about the distances on home runs hit there to current day home runs being hit as if we haven’t been altering the Baseballs drastically. But that note aside, I was not paying attention to the afternoon games yesterday but I saw a ton of home run notifications and did watch the Brewers and Padres turn into the ’27 Yankees last night as well. So, are we finally in the high scoring part of the season now that summer is officially here? Take note, under bettors. A fourteen game MLB slate today since the Giants/Cardinals are on travel from AL to Missouri, and we’ll give MLB a pass for that one since they did include the Cubs at home on the first official Friday in the Summer. After that, there’s a solid 3 game Turbo slate and then a 10 game Main slate tonight. We have a new guy alert today, please welcome Astros “prospect”, Jake Bloss to the big leagues. I use the phrase “prospect” in “air quotes”, because you cannot speak about a player making his debut anymore without using the phrase “prospect” in the headline. We’ll give him some kudos though, he has pitched well in the minors thus far and is a college pitcher, which is more of an expectation that his immediate MLB experience will be ok, but his ceiling might be limited. So, what college did he pitch at? SEC? Oh.. How about Big Twelve? Sounds like an Oklahoma kid… Oh. Wait. He’s a throwback. He definitely went to a Pac-12 school. Oregon??? This mother fucker pitched at … Georgetown University? What? They have a Baseball team? Georgetown? This damn place is known for two things in Athletics, one is now sucking at Basketball and the second involves a someone screaming “stroke” to a bunch of dudes in speedos. They don’t even have a dedicated Baseball Stadium and would be better served playing Baseball at my old High School’s field, where left field made the original Minute Maid Park center field look like it was flat. Georgetown Baseball? What an oxy-moron. This guy clearly sucks, although he does have a cool name. WEATHER…...
