When I clocked out of work at 5pm, I made a beeline to the ballpark. Luckily, it’s a 10 minute walk from my apartment. There was a double header today. I was able to watch the second half of the first game that the Red Wings lost. The second game, thankfully, was a win.
Some thoughts from today’s game:
People still name their kids “Easton” after the bat? They are always after a bat but never a glove. When I hear a kid named Rawling, Mizuno or Wilson, I’m getting that kid and their dad some Red Wings merch.
Charles McAdoo not only has a sweet baseball name but he hit two three run homers. One in each game. I hate to admit this but I like to find a future Dodger in each team. McAdoo would be Buffalo’s pick for me. Right now, for the Red Wings, I like Andres Chaparro and Trey Lipscomb. Would have I picked Alex Call back in the day? Probably not.
Barb was on her TACO game tonight. She even has a kid joining her ranks.
I dressed poorly tonight so I had an impulse purchase of a red Red Wings hoodie. A Rohrbach Cosmic Krush Hazy IPA and a popcorn kept me warm too. The Wings held on to a first inning lead to make my record 2-4 at games.
I have 781 of 3500 points to throw out the first pitch at game. Or maybe I could get Barb to do it instead. Donating my first pitch is what I want to do going forward.
Watching the Dodgers play the Rockies as I type this. Denver had two inches of snow fall earlier today and the field looks like it never happened, Props to that field crew. Denver is a stadium I always wanted to visit. Also I like their City Connect jerseys.
Finally, Grant Anderson kind of reminds me of a mix between Larry David and Norm Macdonald. I have a fan fiction theory that Grant Anderson’s kids are the dude in the Spikes and the gal in Mitsy costumes.
