    Brian Reynolds’s and Luis Robert leaders in HR.

    Wander Franco hitting very nicely.

    Adley Rustchman doing fine.

    Jordan Walker looking real good.

    Josh Jung is my other ROY pick this year.

    What have you guys seen so far that you like?

    Oh yeah, for Wobbie, Julio Urias is pitching gems.

    Did they think of that before enacting the pitch clock?
    I'm sure if there's any kind of non-negligible loss that they'll just hike the prices accordingly.

    Philly had their Dollar dog night last night. I usually get a few hot dogs if i go to that promotion.

    Used to be the games we did the 9x9x9.
    Some good times.
    (And wild nights after the ballgames.)

    Yes, Simpsons reference.

    Also, semi-related to what we were talking about before re: concessions & the pitch clock:

    Another sign most people don't give a crap about drunk driving.
    Scary how people leave events/restaurants and drive.  
    All about freedoms and profits!

    I only have two during a baseball game. It's definitely a little scary walking around a parking lot and these people driving could just be totally bombed.

    I've tried those Surfside vodka iced teas - very tasty but I'm not sure I buy the 4.5% alcohol. I feel those much more than a quality pilsner beer.

    I love drinking at the ballpark...and Philly brings beer by your seats more than any other stadium, based on personal visits only
      (Probably 60% of stadiums)

    However, I don't drink unless I am not driving.
    I'm not really into moderation, so this is the best rule for me.

    Looking around at events, lots of others should do the same!

    Those craft beers (they don't bring them around to your seats) are filling and 2 is plenty for me. If these games are really 2 1/2 hours I might not even get to the 2nd one.

    don’t even get me started on “calf strains.”
    It's crazy how injuries didn't really occur all that much back then compared to now with all the babying and coddling they do with players today. FFS, the Cubs had Craig Kimbrel on the IL for 2 entire seasons! How the hell does someone remain injured for 750 consecutive days?

    I read a book about one of the 1950s Brooklyn Dodgers teams. They had plenty of injuries.

    There were far fewer teams and pitchers weren’t pushing the limits of what the human body can do.  Nobody was throwing 98 mph gas back then.  Maybe 1 or 2 on occasion.  Pitchers now are constantly doing that and with movement.

    Their bodies are pushed to the max regularly so breakdowns occur.

    If we had more Greg Maddux types who could put an 8pm-have ball wherever they wanted this would be an interesting sport but everyone wants to throw 3 digit heat.

    Hell if I had a kid I would teach him a knuckleball.

    Risk aversion, basically. A pitcher's arm will tighten up from a long delay. If he throws during the delay to stay loose, he could fatigue faster or risk overuse if he returns to the game. All these situations increase the possibility of injury.
