POCKET

My dad parents died when I was 4 and 8, both in their mid to late 80s. My GGPs on that side would have been well over 100 when I was born.

My moms parents lived across the country and only saw them a couple times a year. I knew my GGM for a few years, but only saw a couple times a year.

It’s always been a bit sad for me that I never had the opportunity to have a day to day relationship with any grandparent.

I think he was just immature at the time and seems to have grown up since. People say he is a good guy.

Random Sowell story - We played them in JV baseball when he was in 9th grade. He was massive even then. During warmups, a guy on our team threw it past another (let’s call him Joe). Hernando was running to CF and back and Sowell kicked the ball about 75 feet away when Joe was about to pick it up. Very out of the blue and we just moved on after a little chirping. Later in warmups, an Hernando infielder through the ball past Sowell who was playing 1st. Joe popped out of the dugout, grabbed the ball before Sowell could, and threw the ball to the OF fence. Thought there was about to be a fight but everybody just kept going through warmups. Strangest interaction I ever saw in warmups.

I thought when people died in movies they really died. I thought it must really be an honor to be on tv to get people to volunteer for it.

Crazy they gave WV that 1st down. Was obvious he didn’t get there.

Good early year reminder to pucker up

I wasn’t surprised they overturned it, but seemed like it took them 1 look to overturn it. Was not that obvious of a call

I think it’s more of an emotional play than lack of faith in Kelenic or anything else.

This group did it in 2021. Get them back together and hopefully it will create some excitement and they will believe they can do it again.

I'd be surprised if Trump had more than a couple dozen USSS ground personnel in his detail Saturday, and not all of them would have been on shift. Advance work is done by the field offices for the most part.

A dozen / half dozen will the help of local police should not have been able to stop this guy that was flopping around the most obvious position over the course of multiple minutes with the help of civilians calling their attention to it?

I admit I know next to nothing of SS details, but the level of incompetence necessary to allow this to happen is hard for me to get my mind around which is where a lot of people are.

I was hoping for a toolsy SS, but hard to blame the pick.

It’s illogical that what he said is true. Otherwise we would have the 35 best players in college baseball signed up for next year rather than losing players to the portal while taking no name players from Illinois St, St. Joseph’s, etc.

I’m sure what he meant was that there was no predetermined / set amount and that if they were approached they could potentially increase the budget to $X, if it made sense.

Can Acuna manage to get picked off again?
