The Braves swept the Diamondbacks last week!

50 Years ago today, Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record.

We are rooting for the Baltimore Orioles.

Adley, the catcher on this team, is from a rural area close to the PDX metro area. Adley gives back to local high schools in our area by conducting baseball clinics for rural high school young men in area leagues of competition. He is a very nice person. Adley got his big break into MLB when he played for the Oregon State Beavers in college. Which, btw, the OSU Beavers are tops in their league this season.

Braves' pitcher Max Fried gave one of the best performances of his life tonight. He pitched 9 innings (92 pitches/69 strikes) and shutout the Miami Marlins 5 - 0.

Last night, Ronald Acuna Jr. set a record for stolen bases for the modern-era (Atlanta) Braves. He has now stolen 190 bases.

Last night we went to watch (and support) our local high school baseball team. The past two years our team has won the state championship title, so we’re hoping for a third title. But back to last night, lol: our team struggled to get on the board. We watched the other team heckle and jeer on their teammates to out-best our team, which was taking a toll on our team. Bullying is not an acceptable team tactic, so our team finally got on the scoreboard by the sixth inning. It was scary, watching them bully our team. But the boys on our team did not participate in their brand of cheer. They demonstrated leadership in the sportsmanship department, which of course made us super proud of them.

We won the game by six point lead in the top of the 7th inning.

Hopefully our team does well against the competing team from a rich neighborhood. Sometimes it’s better to get off to a late start. At least it was like this last night. Three cheers for teams who practice good sportsmanship.

I agree wholeheartedly! I don't understand fans like the Phillies have. What's fun about going to a ballgame and being such a**holes? I would so much rather cheer on our team at a ballgame.

So because Xfinity and Bally Sports can't come to an agreement - and Bally Sports is probably going into bankruptcy - we can't watch the Braves on Bally Sports. And because of blackout rules, we can't watch on MLB.

To rub salt in the wound, I have to follow some damn QR code on Xfinity to request a refund for Bally Sports. They damn well know I pay for it every month; why can't they just refund it?

In other news, Shohei Ohtani is the DH for the Dodgers for this entire season; why isn't he pitching?
