I don't recall seeing this posted, but it's that time of year:

Did everyone see this Dave Cameron article from today?

It's a read worth reading (including the comments).
Kolten Wong's little bro, Kean, is having himself a game. He just smacked a grand slam to give Durham a 5-3 lead in the bottom of the 4th. He's got a single, double, and donger.
If anyone is interested in watching the AAA championship game between the IL Durham Bulls and the PCL Memphis Redbirds, here's a link for you (there may or may not be a couple of pop-ups):

Indians win! 22 in a row, holy s***.
So Jose Ramirez led off the bottom of the 10th by stretching a single into a double, then Edwin walked. Jay Bruce then smacked a walk-off hit down the RF line to score Ramirez and win the game.
I feel like it's worth mentioning that Tommy Pham is most likely really good at baseball. He hit a donger and stole two bags today to become a member of the 20/20 club. Altuve, Betts, Andrus, and Trout are the only other members so far this season.
147 wRC+ and 4.9 WAR through 463 PA.
Base hit for Naquin with 1 out.
Francisco Mejia now into the game to PH for Gomes.
Edit: Fielder's choice, Naquin out at second. Lindor up with two outs.
Edit: Lindor RBI double off the wall, just out of the reach of the outstretched glove of Alex Gordon. Tie game!
This.
Not to mention that baseball is becoming way too predictable. It's pretty much a TTO game now and, subsequently, the long ball has lost its shine. I also hate that strikeouts are pretty much a widely accepted outcome. "No worries, son, you'll get that homer next time". *ass pat*
I can't live in that world, so change the goddamn balls back!
