Ok guys, I held out long enough and I have to brag a little.
CW jr and his team won the first tournament of the year!
The boy played lights out and made the all tournament team at catcher!
They got a sweet little ring, much better than the crap we got when I was a kid.

Man, best we got was class rings and chit. No bling for winning. There was a plaque for the district championship, and some photos.

He’s very proud of this ring, but I told him I was gonna pawn it and buy me some beer!

But, congratulations to your son and his teammates. Good stuff.

I don't understand why he didn't ask for the depth/fish finder, too. What was he thinking ?

 

[TN Jed]

It's dead up in here. @W.TN.Orange Blood must be on a run for dinner (supper, really). I've gotta have a fu@kin root canal tomorrow....and insurance only pays half. So y'all keep me entertained this evening and tomorrow morning

Odd timing, no?

Out fitting one stadium, Hoover, for the roll out. I wonder what the upgrade will cost from the current gear already in place for analytics?

Does cost, or money, really matter in the big scheme of things in the SEC? Not being a smarty pants, but we all know the answer. We'll have it next year, and it'll be there for non conference games. I'd put money on it.

Ding, ding, ding . Astros opener/bullpen getting rung up in the third. 7-2

You’re right. Just curious. If it wasn’t going to be an acceptable expense, they wouldn’t have started the roll out.

Totally agree. The question is...well, why now? Why not at the beginning of the year?

Braves catcher Sean Murphy is finally back in the lineup.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

The #1 Overall Pick in the Draft is LVs Karlyn Pickens.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Braves 3-0 over the Mariners. All 3 runs coming from HRs.

Baldwin Albies and Olson. Olson's HR was #300 for him.

Now Riley hits his monster HR making it 4-0.

Hey, gang, I have a newbie question. When the box representing the true zone is imposed over the video on TV, is a pitch straddling both sides of the line a strike or ball?

Strike.

 

[chuckiepoo]

If it breaks the zone by a smidge, its a strike.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Mariners come back w/a 3 run HR making it 4-3 w/no outs.
Braves starting pitcher couldn't find the plate & walked 2 batters.
Weiss looks like a manager w/egg all over his face by not taking
his pitcher out after those two walks.

 

[Orange.]

Strike.

It it breaks the zone by a smidge, its a strike.

That’s what I thought. Otherwise the zone would be minuscule. But I needed to be sure since it’s headed our way. Thanks.

Mariners take the lead 5-4 on a J P Crawford 2 run jack.
