Watched the first four innings of Cubs/Mariners last night (games start late in Europe).

I loved the quicker pace of play. The game definitely flows better and is much more engaging. Brilliant decision.

And I witnessed the first pitching clock violation in MLB history, by the Cubs starter, Marcus Stroman.

The Cubs. Always the Cubs....

Volpe is incredibly impressive. He chose 11 as his number, but not before calling and asking the previous player, Brett Gardner, for permission. Brett was a solid but unspectacular player. However, he was the longest tenured Yankee upon retirement and one of the team leaders.

Classy move by a 21 year old to ask for permission.

Judge is Judge. By all accounts, he is extremely humble and appreciates the fans.

I used to be obsessed with sports. particularly baseball and football. But since the communists took over this country they have co-opted athletic events for graft and propaganda and since I hate communists and their propaganda so much I can’t watch them anymore. But it does free up a lot of time to do other things I enjoy. Such as reading about and complaining about communists Sad!
