8-26 Gameday Thread- Rio Grande our PHing savior

Even if Tampa wasn't playing well, their pitching philosophy is going to be very aggravating to go against. I think one game is Glasnow, but even he is going to go just two times through. The other game is likely an "opener" game. Braves swept them in Tampa but I'll take getting 1 vs them.
 
Answer me this, why is it you've been here as long as most of us, but only crawled out of your shell to post more this year?

Fair question- Simply put, I have been here every day, every game, but rarely able to post due to work - things you'd be proud of, but I can't talk about. Sorry to be vague. Nothing sinister or anything of the sort- just the way it is. Done now. Happy to be able to be here.

he used to post about Gattis' knees...he was a highly specialized poster back then...now he's more of an all arounder as they say in cricket

How in the hell do you remember that?

For the record, I knew someone close to Evan way back then, and whatever I reported was what I was told...no idea what it was now
 
Doesn't matter now- it was one of his teammates from some middle of nowhere permian basin place in Texas- he and I were on an assignment together and he kept up with Evan closely.
 
Mega positive takeaways-
Last week of August- we are three games up. Who in the hell ever dreamed of that?
The nationals are dead. Who in the hell ever dreamed of that ?
We had a very good road trip- normally .500 roadtrips are considered huge successes... this was much better.
We have a day off tomorrow, and we are going to need it. Short flight, nearly 45 hours until we need to be at the park.
Acuna looks amazing.
Ozzie showing some plate discipline.
Finally have Rio back.
Threw a two hitter.
Pitching has been incredible.
Despite a mega offensive slump, we still had a great trip. Survived and didn't lose any ground. We'll get hot again. Much rather slump against the crap teams on our schedule and win some low scoring games now.
Competition- and crowds - will be much bigger - we seem to play up to the moment... see cards series and nats ..at yankee stadium...earlier this year for example...
Knock on wood- we are healthy...
BP is rested...
Dansby seems to be coming around..
Julio kicks ass late in the year- he is on the hump Tuesday
Grateful dead show tonight is free streaming with live video
First day of school is tomorrow- I can get some damn work done again
Acuna's defense is looking GREAT

thethe, where have you been hiding?
