I was just looking over some notable MLB games this season.
J-Rod and the Mariners and Ohtani, Trout and the Angels come to Atlanta this season. The White Sox do as well.
Also, we have a potential Ohtani on the mound vs the Padres on 4th of July!
Talk about fireworks!!😮

We play the Dodgers on my birthday so I am probably going to try to go to that one. My friend is a Phillies fan so maybe I can convince him to go to the Dodgers game and the Phillies game the following night. We play the Yankees in August too so might try to go to that one as well…

With Key being put on the shelf bc of a medical issue (blood clots) doesn't help our cause.

I feel the opposite. Key stands flat footed and slaps at the ball, instead of moving her feet and hustling.
I haven’t watched them play in a while, but I think they played better with her.
I miss the stifling defense of old. When they would all slap the floor and shut the opponent down.

You should definitely go, my friend. My birthday was 3 weeks ago and the spouse got me tickets to the Dodgers series in May. Take every chance to enjoy life!
