@BallNineTweet When jogging toward first on a grounder to short was unheard of. How much trouble are Lombard and Garcia in, for making lazy players look bad on grounders?
@AMBS_Kernan One changed managers and advanced from a bottom; one gets paid for a commitment to mediocrity, rain delays, and player vacations.
I wonder which team runs out hard more ground balls? 🤔
@TonySeruga Wow. This is great stuff. It answers many questions in many states, including Jewish New Yorkers on the strange tactics of JINO Chuckie Schumer, and his anti-Israel record.
Thank you.
@AMBS_Kernan Boone has a lot of work to do. Garcia and Lombard hustle every play. They are making Yankees vets look extra lazy by actually running out ground balls. But Boone can fix that.
@AMBS_Kernan I was at the 1st bat day at Yankee Stadium 6 20 ‘65. 71000 people and no known incidents…well, one.
Oliva had a bad thumb and was throwing his bat on occasion. One time the bat went into the Yankees dugout. I learned later it was Pepitone who threw it back; Tony skipped rope.
@AMBS_Kernan Spot on. We left in the 4th, because of the boredom, and, the garbage call of the chief of analytical sanitation, J. Schmutz. It was poetic justice that two Yankees drove in 3/4 runs and Belli got MVP. So we switched to season 4 of Longmire. Meh. Wife likes it.
@sparkyanderson7@AMBS_Kernan I was in the band in 1969. We opened each pregame running down the stairs. I was slow.
Then a new director came in 1970 and moved practices from nights to afternoons, which wiped out the science and engineering majors who had afternoon labs.
@sparkyanderson7@AMBS_Kernan Exactly. Solid defense, quality pitching, moving baserunners.
I was a student at UC when the original Sparky was managing The Big Red Machine. Excellence at every position. Pete Rose played on another level.
And yeah, Morganna🥰😂
