I’m just here for the twittertainment

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@Mpolymer @BulwarkOnline Yup, at some point in the not-too-distant future, I may still in an empty batting cage with a bucket of torn up baseballs and shed a few tears.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@hubert_wetzel @Mpolymer @BulwarkOnline Those leagues are out there, but (unlike youth leagues) you need to seek them out. In the DC area, there are even baseball (and of course softball) leagues for those of us well over 50.

@Sowell33 Chase is a gamer! One of the few bright spots yesterday and in the season so far. Looking forward to watching him continue to grow into that big oak tree!

@tonyposnanski I'm not sure why this is even an internet controversy. If I'm so lucky as to get a ball at a game, I'm not looking around my section for a kid to give it to. I'm not elbowing him out of the way and ripping it from his hands, either, but that's not the issue here.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@RichKelsey Agreed. I'm trying to follow the logic in his twitter rants on this issue, but it's basically farcical and rage-baiting at this point.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@lee_w18 Yup. With the lockout looming, it's almost certain they'll retain Boone. He's already under contract for another year, and they won't want to deal with the possibility of hiring and on-boarding a new manager who can't meet with his players until the lockout ends.

@MichaelFranzese @GavinNewsom I appreciate your contributions on this platform, and respect your opinion. I strongly disagree that his intentions are generally good, though, unless you mean for him, his family, and his cronies. I think he’s fleecing the country (you and I both) - inflicting huge damage.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@AdamZHerman Is that equal parts a comfort level for the returners, and bringing in new guys who will play the way he wants them to? Very small sample size, but the new pieces seem to be great fits for what they needed and want to do.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@dantelives13 @AdamZHerman Some of that, and then bringing in guys with speed and tenacity to play as they are now. Then you gotta get them all to buy in. So far, so good, and this is once again a fun team to watch. They'll give teams fits as a very difficult team to play against this year.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@dantelives13 @AdamZHerman I'm not sure if it's a philosophical/tactical change or a personnel change (maybe a bit of both), but their forecheck is ferocious. They play "defense" by playing offense and keeping the puck in the other team's end. So much more fun (and comforting) to watch protect a lead.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@MichaelFranzese @GavinNewsom Hmmm, his ramblings are generally incoherent and rambling, so it’s difficult to tell but maybe. Of all the cities in the US, though, why would he single out 2 cities which are notoriously liberal as cities he really wants to “save”?

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@PhillySlasher @TDsTake No, he said they didn't lose EVERY time (every snap) but also didn't win at all. In other words, some snaps were just a draw, but they didn't win any. Pretty honest, truthful, and damning comment about their play - critical of coaches and players.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@JunksRadio @Giants Then ask that person where they’d have the Giants if they knew Dart would go down for the season early in the 2nd game.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@lee_w18 No problem - walk and a dinger can win it. They only need 1 hit.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@lee_w18 Interesting article in The Athletic about Cole pitching indoors, as well, and how that informed Boone’s decision.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@SuperdaveLibby @markknopfler57 Or The Anthem in DC if it's in the colder months and a shed isn't an option

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@keriscaggs @markknopfler57 Wow, Alaska? How often do you get international acts/tours that stop up there? Sincere question - genuinely curious.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@CaptDrMark @markknopfler57 Yes, as mentioned a few times in these comments, I think The Anthem in DC would be perfect. I'd love to see him at Wolftrap, too, if he came here in the summer.

[Doug Hahm @ViennaLion]

@RobertTetlow @markknopfler57 Yes, this would be great if he came here in the summer. Otherwise, I'd love to see him at the Anthem in DC
