This has got to be one of the weirdest things I’ve read about a pitcher. Cramping up so the staff spent several minutes stretching his legs and gave him pickle juice. Then the bat boy gives him pickle juice. I didn’t even know all this was allowed. How do we even know it was actually pickle juice and not some other concoction? Umpires should have told him he was coming out the game and getting an injury replacement.

Grant Holmes gave up 2 ER and struck out 15 batters over 6.1 innings and the Braves lose to the Rockies 10-1 because the atrocious bullpen gives up…checks box score…7 ER over the next 2 innings after Holmes was removed. It’s getting laughable how bad the bullpen is. Whenever the starter gets pulled we already know the bullpen is going to blow it the majority of the time. Just go ahead and tank this season, get a good draft slot for next year, and trade away some of these dudes you can get the same level of production from replacement level players. Keep Acuña, Baldwin, Riley, and Olson. Trade away Albies, Harris, and Murphy and get some return while you still can and sign the best starting pitcher on the market next year.

I know pickle juice can do that but how does anyone else on the field know for a fact it was pickle juice? Did they test it and get approval beforehand? Why are they letting a pitcher take 5 minutes of Gametime away so he can cramp up again and cause another delay? They wanna talk about speeding up games and that is nonsense. Tell that fool to take the rest of the day off and stop wasting everyone’s time.

Just found out since Ohtani is designated as a two-way player the Dodgers get to carry him as an extra pitcher on the staff and exceed the 13 pitcher limit even though he is going to be a starter every 5 days. So MLB changed the rules for one player because nobody else in the league has a two-way player. Yet another loophole benefiting the best team in the league…

I’ve always listened to 60s music, that one just is not a standout for me. Growing up, my parents had music playing constantly. I am definitely a R&B girl, Motown is my favorite. Sirius Soultown is the best!

Listen to as much Sam Cooke as you can. Otis Redding as well. It's good for the soul.
