Wow, I knew it was the 27th

but to say it as “five days” seems so much closer. Sweet!

That video was a total moment of zen for me.

Aside from how great it is to see Morneau out there with the team, just hearing bats crack and baseballs smack leather again is fantastic. I should record a loop of that and listen to it as I go to sleep.

I thought the same thing

It’s such a soothing sound.

Questions and Remarks from Pitching Segment

Who is number 37 throwing to the right of Deolis Guerra, #76?
Is it just me, or is Guerra’s delivery remarkably similar to Baker’s?
Is Nathan not twitching anymore? What the hell?
Thanks for posting the video!

Answers

1. I think it’s Jim Hoey
2. Guerra does throw like Baker, especially in the way he wraps the ball
3. Wait till his first save situation, and he’ll be Capt. Twitchy once more.
