Colorado Rockies have Jack Corrigan on KOA and I like him. He did Indians games for a long time. Rox TV play by play guy Drew Goodman is the exception to the rule. He's no Joe Buck, if you get my drift.

This Wednesday July 16 at 7pm EDT, the Guardians flagship station, WTAM 1100 AM will be airing a 3 hour best of the voice of the Indians / Guardians, Tom Hamilton tribute in honor of his entry into Cooperstown as a Hall Of Fame broadcaster.  It started out as a 2 hour show but there was so much it went to 3.

You can access it at WTAM.com or through IHeart.com.

Truly one of the greats.  It should be pretty good.  I listen to the games primarily on the radio so there should be a lot of, oh yeah, I remember that moments for me.

Tom Henry is spending his money on his new toy the soccer team. Even people in Pittsburgh wish he would sell the Penguins and move on.

I think I heard something about it. Thx I’ll look it up now.

PS
It’s called The Clubhouse. Saw the trailer but I don’t have Netflix.

OK RPer's.... let's assume you're the King of the MLB and you have to choose between 2 pitchers....

The first, after being on the IL for April, is 7-3 with a 1.94 ERA over 83 2/3 innings — the lowest ERA in the NL for any pitcher with at least 80 innings pitched.

The second, has 5 starts this year, is 4-1 with a 2.83 ERA, striking out 33 over 25 2/3 innings.

Which do you pick for the All-Star game?

This is why the Phillies are outspokenly angry about the All-Star game this year.   Trea Turner not being an All-Star while having the most hits and best average for a NL shortstop.... and having a higher DEF (defensive runs above average) than the 2 shortstops named makes no sense either.

Wow. Sounds like Raffy's regressed. He started the season ice-cold but then went on a tear before the trade. 

Now there are noises that the Sox will trade Jarren Duran to ease the logjam in the OF and bring in a #2 starter. It's hard to care about the team at this point.

The problem/good thing about baseball is you can be over the moon about a storybook ending and the next day you're losing 0–7. 0–11. Yes Schwarber hit a 3-run HR while I was typing that. But check out this from last night!



Hilarious captioning: Krukow says "I did not see that coming" and Kuiper says "Neither did my voice!" He's been battling laryngitis this week. But the captions?

"I did not see that coming"
"Neither did my wife!"

In golf that is sometimes referred to as a PBFU (Post Birdie F*ck Up). You walk to the next tee after that glorious putt and shank it into the next fairway. I've experienced it. It is a way to bring equilibrium to the universe. 

What are you going to do after that ITPHR (you know what the acronym means)? You don't follow it with another, you don't pitch a perfect game, you don't get an unassisted triple play. You get the bejesus whipped out of you. Now things can return to normal....GO GIANTS!

Storybook my ass.   

We'd better find something to pitch the last 3 innings of the games   3 of the top 11 pitchers (WAR) so far this year... the highest staff RAR (Runs against replacements) by a mile....and we're just humming along at a sub-.600 winning percentage.

13-0.... Your outfielder gave up a few....and hit Schwarber (with a 65mph ball with no curve).

There is so much wrong with deferrals.  

The salary cap issues are obvious, but there is also the fact that he will avoid upwards of $100M in state income tax for a salary earned by playing in a stadium (privately) built on public land.  The poor schmo's paying $75/ticket and $15/beer all pay their CA income taxes on their $50k per year, while the guy that makes $432k to play for 15 minutes in the game they attend doesn't pay state income tax on that money.
