The All-Star Break Strikes Back

But tomorrow is Return of the HotCut. Our Text exchange earlier today 'No baseball is the worst'                                  'Yeah but news now of the Grubs dealing for Quintana.' 'My Grubs Assistant just broke the news' 'Terrible'

July 9, NoCut Sunday.

I am watching the first half's penultimate game, which has gone bridge.  To be exact, this is a Sunday Golden Gate Bridge — er — a Sunday Golden Gate Suspension Bridge.  It's Fish at Giants, 7-7, bottom ten.  Wittgren deals to Crawford.  There is no other action at the moment but Indians hosting Tigers starts in about fifteen minutes.  Crawford is batting .226 if you can believe it.  He fans.  He looked at a prime fastball on 2-and-0.  Mac Williamson now.  He looks at 93 down the middle to begin.  Williamson looks at another fastball on 1-and-1, looks at it.  Then swings through a hanging slider on 1-and-2, over.  Nick Hundley skies one, 8, to a Yelich who fights the sun.  To the 11th, and this bridge looks like it will be completed. Leading off, Realmuto hits a grounder to Crawford...easy...but...Crawford airmails it, past and above Belt, Realmuto to second.  Riddle goes 9 to Pence but it's deep enough to get Realm...
