Leading Off
Don’t look now, but the first series of the 2019 season was fun. Like… not horrific fun not embarrassing. David vs. Goliath. Who knows if it will last, but we will certainly take it.

First Base
Is it early, or is it early?

Others are hopelessly optimistic. Still others will waiver between the two. Let’s remember to be tolerant of all fan temperaments – regardless of the win/loss record, we’ll have to make our own fun this season. Together.
Third Base
The Bullpen
The starters weren’t much to write home about, so let’s waste ink on a few innings’ worth of ov...
