Best 7th inning stretch ever…

The image place holder that has the picture of the squirrel in mid run... cracked me up.

Harrison Bader and Jaren Duran are basically the same guy.

At least they gave up some prospects and didn’t just throw money at him this time. We’ll see in the off season though…

Somebody (probably the Dodgers themselves) will write him a big check during free agent negotiations.

I hope not, but it's definitely a possibility.

Sox sweep the Dodgers for the first time in sixteen years. This team is insane at the moment. I hope they don't fade down the stretch and go early-out in the playoffs (assuming they get there) but baseball is a funny game.

the 'Miz'. (Brewers) He is a-MAZ-ing! consistent 104-106 mph with control! 12 K's in a row etc. But: the quote from Bladerunner 1, "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long..." is always in the back of one's mind.

News flash! Skubal's first start with the Dodgers was against the Cubs, one of the other teams rumored to be offering a deal for him. He lost 2-1. (Cubs scored more runs after Skubal hit the showers.)

As if there haven't been enough low points in 2026 for the Giants, today color commentator Mike Krukow announced he is retiring at the end of the season.

I'm old enough to remember plenty of Giants baseball broadcasts before Kruk and Kuip came on the air (and I'm certainly old enough to remember their playing careers very well), but that was 30+ years ago. They had such a different dynamic to the broadcast pairings I was used to — it probably took me a couple of years to warm to them, but they were such fun to listen to in peak form. Vin Scully may be the all-time classic play by play announcer, but it's hard to top Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow as a duo in the booth.

That nostalgic pain only grows over the years unfortunately. Baseball broadcast teams are with you during the spring, summer and early fall, for hours on end. Of course if they're terrible, you tend towards muting the sound (I do this more and more as the years go by), but if they're really good, it's almost like family that comes to visit for the summer. My personal favorite was Don Orsillo with Dennis Eckersley. Orsillo in Boston mostly worked with Jerry Remy (who frankly wasn't that good) but when Orsillo worked with Eck it was sublime, always insightful but relaxed, never too serious nor collapsing into silliness.

I almost didn't tune in to the Cardinals/Cubs game yesterday. So glad I did, as watching Joshua Baez make MLB history was a once-in-a-lifetime treat. Amazing to think of a rookie homering in his first three at-bats in The Show. I kept saying to my wife, "I've never seen anything like this."

The only thing that comes close was watching Reggie Jackson hit three home runs on three consecutive pitches in the '77 Series against the Dodgers.

 

[Gregg2]

Yeah, I was watching too as Baez performed the never before accomplished feat of homering in his first three big league at bats. The first one was on the very first pitch he saw in the majors! Being a Cubs fan, I felt for Matthew Boyd being the pitcher who will forever be known for giving up those three home runs.
