    Is that Ky Bush or Cy Bush? I guess it depends on the lineup our freshman manager puts out there for today's game.

    Glad so hear that Espada has already committed to playing Whitcomb today. Like what we have seen from him so far. Small sample size but he looks great so far. Wish he would have been in the lineup for Friday's game. We would probably be going for a sweep and a 10 game win streak.

    Brown is 4th among all MLB pitchers in fwar since 5/22. For most of this season he’s been a legit ace.

    Yep. I think he’s probably our best pitcher right now and going forward.

    Maybe we could get the Duster to sit behind the dugout heckling Chas to get him going: "Hey Pudding, you need a tennis racket"

    It was certainly refreshing to see a young guy like Shay come up and swing at strikes and not balls off the plate, like some of our players do too often.

    During the Bengals Broadcast Nolan Ryan and J.R. Richard got a mention in reference to how specialists have taken over defensive line assignments. It came out of nowhere.

    No Alvarez today, lol.

    Looks like a spring training game.

    Framber, please pitch a no hitter today.

    Looks like the Astros may lose 2-0 (margin of error +/- 1)

    Valdez may have a melt down at some point. I'm thinking third inning.

    Whitcomb thinking he's working at a fast food restaurant.

    Day 1 - learn the ropes
    Day 2 - you're in charge today
