May 12, 1962 - Hobie Landrith hits a walkoff HR against Mil. Braves ace Warren Spahn in the first game of a doublehader. Mets sweep both games. Craig Anderson wins both games of the DH. Anderson would go on to lose his next 19 decisions and never win another major league game.

Have I mentioned that I hate the 7:30 starts? I can't even make it to the end of the home games that start 30 minutes earlier. Georgia really can eat a UHaul truck full of dicks.

I once read that Walter Johnson never threw inside to a batter because he was afraid of hurting them.

Jacob DeGrom throws 102 MPH.

I hope he takes a more Bob Gibson approach tonight when some of those Braves hitters dig in and look comfortable up there.

And if he should happen to hit one of them he can blame it on the new "clean baseball" rule.

Yeah, I'm not going to root for throwing at batters.



And blaming such a thing on stronger enforcement of a rule (which isn't new) is just a tacit admission that he's been violating it all along, and his teammates that aggressively spoke up for him two weeks ago are flat-out liars.

aka: same lineup as always for the Braves

OK they've lost Td'A and Ozuna, and kind of went into the season with TBD in CF.



But Freddie has played every game (and has for years), so has Albies, Swanson, and Riley, while Acuna missed about six games back in April.

And I'm still not convinced that they're not going to talk Markakis out of retirement for the stretch drive where he'll dust off his uni and play the final 40 games in a row while also hitting better than he did in his 20's with Baltimore.



I sometimes wonder what color the sky is in a world where consistency like that is the norm rather than a pipe dream
