Wondering if the difficulty (some) gen z baseball fans seem to have in comprehending skill improvement past the age of 22 is related to a general fear of aging, Yes, this is related to a social media post about Ben Rice that I should have just ignored.
this video...of course it's a Yuengling
Guillermo Quiroz just took a foul line drive from Caleb Bonemer right off the leg and barely flinched
he struck out in this at-bat, but Colby Shelton has been scalding. around .400 with power
the White Sox have found another tall pitcher in Gabe Davis
it sounds like an acquired taste, but I am nonetheless intrigued
Chicago…popcorn?

Boston Bateman popping 97 frequently, lefties not picking up SL
Seth Keener is up to 96. somewhat interesting
drew a hard-earned walk in his first PA
say what you will about other stuff, but I enjoy watching Vance Honeycutt get down the line
up to 97, sharp slider
2nd is #Padres RHP Abraham Parra. Likely a bullpen arm but mid 90s FB and nice SL
getting a Juaron Watts-Brown rehab start apparently

Peyton Pallette looking like he’ll be a good reliever for a while with Cleveland
Getting down to Brax Tacks.
two equally normal things happening
something people don’t tell you about aging…you see baseball lineups with names like Abraham Núñez and José Pirela and think…haven’t these guys already existed?
home team scored 12 during the sort of first inning that only happens in Low-A ball. Fauske and Carlson both had singles. videos below:
the real lineup, if anyone cares
