    Batter's eye at Minute Maid is pretty off-putting when I play The Show. The grass on it blends in too much with the ground and all the crap around it is very busy to the eye and distracting.

    I was just having this discussion for why I think they were able to blow the lid off the GlobeLifeGrill.... batter's eye / contrast / lighting....

    UQUITTY will be taking in a bunch of Taco Buenos tonight after this sterling performance. He's the winner of tonight's Pitching Stiff Award.

    And I hope the batting coaches are NOT using the batters eye as an excuse

    We should have traded Urquidy for Ohtani when we had the chance.

    Shi**y night, but at least the Mariners lost.
    It seems like forever since we had a good run.
