The Marwin Gonzales era is over.

Franchy Cordero can join him, soon, I hope.

Other than a couple of meatballs, Sale looked pretty good today in his 5 inning win against the Os.

Remains to be seen how he'll fare versus a MLB team.

Bryce Harper misses Rhys Hoskins in the line-up. Amazing how one bat can make such an impact on the rest of the line-up.

Aaron Nola has to learn how to pitch off of his fastball. The hitters are just sitting on the curve. It's a great curve, but if you aren't setting it up, the hitter has the advantage, and this season it is showing. If he doesn't adjust, his arm will rust.

Not good form, Brett Anderson

https://dodgersway.com/2021/08/16/dodgers-brett-anderson-buries-trevor-bauer-in-perfect-tweet/?a_aid=01234&fbclid=IwAR1Jg95XsXJn8B0xJuVIiST_d8VDGI5mw5SIlQWdcWCF5CbwJq5ZMG-xwIw

Also not good form is having the press permitted to see sealed court records, which of course they then posted about.

But so long as Bauer is defending himself on Twitter, he is inviting counter-commentary.

I'm sure you would have done sooooo much better, Kid.

He put out all but one of his best arms in relief.

They all sucked today.

What do you propose he should have done?

Quick hook with Houck.

He threw 58 pitches.

Houck is a stud.  46-7 K/BB.

JOEY shortened his stint because it wa a 7 inning affair, even though he had another game to play

Whitlock not staying in vs Gallo?  He can be forgiven for that somewhat given the 2 walks

Re: Cat a tonic at Yankees game

  Sometimes, in a crisis, the brain can’t believe what it’s seeing and proceeds as if everything is normal. This is called “the incredulity response.” It takes a moment after the cat is spotted for attention to shift away from the manufactured stakes of the game and toward the primal stakes for the animal. As the cat tries to get its bearings, the crowd begins to cheer. When the cat jumps up onto the outfield wall, the crowd roars. In just a few moments, the cat has commanded the attention of the fans in the stands, the fans at home, the camera operators, the groundskeepers, the players, the announcers. It darts past the Orioles bullpen to a door and waits to be let out, but the man sitting behind the door does nothing, and the cat walks away in frustration. It trots along as the crowd chants: “Go, cat, go!” Groundskeepers jog impotently alongside the animal, which jumps up onto the wall again, then propels itself into the air in great vertical leaps. The crowd goes wild.

The thing about the cat: It’s so fast, so determined, so tenacious and tactical. It keeps trying different things in order to get what it wants, which is to get the hell out of this loud, crowded, confounding place. The cat is also an incredible athlete. Watching it is like watching an Olympic event. The cat is a sprinter. It’s a gravity-defying gymnast under stress. Unlike the cat at Coors Field in April, this cat doesn’t need to stop to catch its breath. Unlike the Killer Kitten, it doesn’t resort to violence. The crowd chants: “M.V.P., M.V.P.” People cheer as the cat evades the groundskeepers, even darting through one guy’s legs when cornered. Finally, someone opens a door, and the cat runs in, and the crowd boos, sad to see it go. “That was legitimately harrowing,” Brown says. “Amusing, but also harrowing. I don’t ever want to watch that again.”

On the bright side the Sox didn't lose tonight and only lost 1/2 games to several teams.
