What was Caratini doing there? He had a beeline to the ball and was way closer, why not give getting it in time a shot?

Glad I wasn't the only one that had that as their first thought

Lucky, my wife just leaves them all on after. Sometimes I get lucky and the first one she touches is accidentally right. I even rearranged them in a manner that she said made sense to her when we redid the kitchen. Took me a day to relearn, she still has no idea even though it was her design

AJs always been a douche, but he's also often correct from a baseball perspective, just says it in a douchey way.

What a garbage call

Saw the other day that his mom is the mom from Little Big League

With respect, that tells me you never pitched at a serious level. You absolutely need something, and I think lack of sticky stuff is a much bigger reasons for arms falling off than clocks. It's the second biggest reason to me besides "just throw as hard as you can every pitch" which is admittedly even bigger. But guys haven't to slam the ball deeper in their hands to get grips is causing massive strain on elbows and forearms. They need sticky stuff, and it's pretty easy to accidentally get from one hand to the other and into the glove. If you have it on one hand and rub up a ball now you have it on both. It's an idiotic rule. Sadly it's a rule because guys like to use stickier stuff to make the ball dance.

Stat of the day: 1. Player in Astros history to have extra-base hits in five consecutive at-bats: Alex Bregman on Monday and Tuesday, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Ronel wasn't arguing like he was guilty. Not saying he wasn't, everyone still uses stuff. And the legal stuff really isn't much different feel wise on a glove than the illegal stuff.

Hmm, is Bregman turning around???

It's significantly easier to park a truck or large SUV backing in than it is nose in. Maybe not a sedan or sports car, I'd say that's 50/50. And that's true without backup cameras. However, with back up cameras I'm not sure how anyone could argue against it. People just have more practice going the other way

Never been a fan, don't get it at all, it's creepy as fuck to me

Never mind they are just as annoyed at people parking in front first, which is actually more difficult to do well than backing in and causes back out and readjust in. Team back in all day 'ery day

It's those damn Chick-Fil-A cows you have to really keep your eye on, feral monsters...

It was a 15 year old Hitachi that was still kicking. Bought a Bosch 1617EVSPK, all the guys at Rockler personally used it too and liked it a lot. I'm really impressed with the smoothness and quietness of it It was the one in my router table actually, the one in the XCarve is a Makita that seems to be pretty solid so far. On another note: Anyone have a recommendation on good hole saws? The Milwaukee ones I've been using forever are fine, but I'd like something a bit tougher

Fuck off ump, that's clearly a swing

Only negative (I guess you'd call it that) was my router in my router table died. Had to go buy a new one. The new one is much smoother and half the volume of the old one.

No CR, but it's horseshit when presidents do this shit close to the election. Should have done this day 1 in office. I guess better late than never

It's the logo of my wife's salon. She has a pop up shop she always does and the women are always looking for gifts for their husbands. Thought that could be representative to sell some of them. I got the Odie's oil on all of them. Turned out great if I do say so myself.

Running an extra electrical outlet really isn't very difficult. That's an expensive one off to get an electrician out for. Ten minutes of youtube videos should be enough especially if their is an outlet on the other side of one of your walls

Here they are in progress. I'm about halfway done finishing them. Just using some Odie's Oil, I've heard nothing but good things about it. I'll take a pic once I'm done finishing them. Lot of Aggies I know, but Texas is basically impossible to get into. All but one of those kids would have chosen Texas if they didn't get CAP'd I had some red oak for a few, bought some maple and ran through it, then went with Ash. Ash seemed to work very well though it's a bit fibrous like the oak.

I'm still at a loss why Dubon isn't our first baseman. I wonder if he just doesn't feel comfortable there?

I bought an X-carve, or really traded for it, 3 months or so ago and it's just been sitting there. I finally had an idea for it. My oldest son is graduating high school. For all of his close friends I'm carving the college logo they are going to and some lines for traction plus their initials. Outside of a bunch and starts and stops on getting good images for the design it's gone very well. I'll put some pics up once I'm done, or get some time before then.

Unless the players come out and say "we hate Espada he's the reason we're losing" There is a literal zero chance he gets fired outside of gross insubordination. Managers mean almost dick in baseball as long as they are doing the obvious things. They can mean something if they are intuitive in the 50/50 situations. But come on, Espada is doing pretty much what everyone wanted Dusty to do except the Meyers/Dubon issues. Alvarez in the 2 hole (I think he fits the team better at 3 but it's mathematically the right move) - Check He has zero choice but to play Abreu with that contract and every other manager in baseball would be in the same position. But he isn't smashing in the top 5 all season - Check He's getting guys spots. when they need it but not really overplaying anyone that shouldn't play (outside of Abreu where he has no choice) - Check What legitimately in his power do you want him to do? Abreu is about to get benched. They've been trying all kinds of guys at first. We just don't have a backup there. Dubon likely ends up being the guy and that would make the Astros a pretty formidable offense and defense if he plays well there which I think he would. Our pitching woes are brutal. Brent Strom is a golden god

I actually tried to look and see about that. Like was I missing someone. But didn't find anyone that made sense. But you are probably right about Chinese or Indian Star. Sheer number of people knowing their fame would dwarf the US. The global aspect of US celebrities is big though. So a lot of those people also know Beyonce. When I was in India last and people found out I was from Houston I got all kinds of Beyonce questions. And that was a good while ago
