Last night sure looked fun. However, when you change roles for the good of the school and teach outdoor classes for 5 hours a day, you don’t get to see the fun stuff that goes down past 8:00 because ya can’t keep your dadgum eyes open. Luckily, the great TFloyd came through with the recap and after reading, I entertained myself during my morning coffee watching the video recap. Tonight, we get a once every 5 game treat as Chris Sale, who likely is the frontrunner for the Cy Young, take the stage in Minnesota against David Festa, who should just go ahead and add the i in front of the e to make it a real party. Game time is 6:40 CT/7:40 ET.

What to do with Uncle Jesse?

On June 22nd, Jesse Chavez was carrying a 1.17 ERA. Fast forward to August 27th and it has ballooned to 3.40. Has age finally met its maker for Jesse? I don’t know the answer, but it’s obvious he’s struggling and I would like for Brian Snitker to get him in a few blowout games to see if there’s something still there, otherwise it’s time to see what Daysbel Hernandez can do.
