Yadier Molina Versus Galactus, destroyer of masks, catcher’s masks

I read the reports of the young girl injured at the Yankees game. Seems Todd Frazier is living up to his “unofficial” nickname. Surely, this young girl will get the finest care available. And, the effort by Frazier couldn’t hurt either.  I hope she recovers nicely. Maybe a new net should go up – I haven’t an opinion…  Baseball, like our lives, living here in America, has certainly gotten more dangerous. Something to think about.

Joe West got dealt un off the bottom o’ the deck! Bell-Trayed I say.

Of the few good men, I know we will prevail. Ride on, Cowboy.

Last night on Quick Pitch, Heidi brought up the fact that the Cubs World Series team of 2016 had a team average, .256…

Now, the 2017 Astros are better with a current .276 team average: this range is my optimal team performance expectation for World Series dreams.

But, as always, pitching, pitching, pitching… And, Heidi looks like a unicorn in this picture:)

Mario took his ball home

If you want Japanese baseball

Fly to Tokyo Dome

The previous HAIKU represents my appreciation for Nintendo products and their great tradition. Just like Baseball, the cultural identity of millions has been shaped by Nintendo’s games.

P.S. has anyone but me noticed Quick Pitch anchor Heidi Watney looks exactly like Princess Peach?

Watch MLB network’s Quick Peach….  I mean Quick Pitch.

 

 

 

 

In France, there is, I believe, a saying – La foi souleve les montagnes – meaning: Love can move mountains.

This! however, is a scientifically accurate baseball blog, so…

Cards fans know, Lou Brocks CAN move mountains, and home plates.

Oh say can you, Celine?

Go Redbirds!   and never forget what The ol’ Whitey taught ya.

Has Anybody seen Yadier Molina lately? This guy looks like he did his rookie year!!! Talk about a throwback!

Since we’re reminiscing; I thought I’d remind everybody that Blood Sugar Sex Magic, the 1991 album by The Red Hot Chili Peppers is still there best, and one of the most spot on albums ever. Spot on… Just like Yadi throwdowns to second.

Okay, you know I love to dream up architectural and artistic installations for ballparks, right?  Well, I do!

I’ve been brewin’ this one for months!  Should still be fresh, though.

I think Bernie Brewer needs a big draught wall out in left at Miller.

He’s thirsty.  You know Bernie gets real thirsty slidin’ and climbin’ all game long.  So I think entire Brew Crew should pour him a tall frosty “Brew Wall.”

First, some architectural lingo:  A “curtainwall” is a large glass enclosure specified by architects for solar exposure to the outdoors, or for appearance.  KalWall is a historic manufacturer of these impressive installations.  Miller Park most likely utilizes a KalWall system in their outfield expanses.

Now,  Please see images in this blog for referencing the proposed “Brew Wall” concept.

Ryan Braun might even become a beer lover after he sees this…

Go Brewers! 

Who would you be?  I’ve thought about it from time to time…

The Question;  if I could be any baseball player in history…  who would I be……..

Of course, maybe you can – maybe you can’t re-be anybody…   hmm

Either way, I wouldn’t be a catcher:)   too hard on the knees.

By the Way, whomever coordinates these matters really should let us all know, to whom we might inquire.

I’d be Joe Dimaggio, by the way.  Sorry, Mick and Yogi… 

P.S.   Dad called Stan the Man, for the record:)
