Lucchesi! Kikuchi! Lucchesi! Kikuchi! Uma! Oprah! If you get that joke, congratulations on being a fellow Old.
The game is available in all the old familiar places but is not the free game on MiLB TV, alas, as there were approximately 500 other day games today starting even earlier than this. I watched a little of the Rays-Blue Jays game (because I am rooting for Toronto to win out so we can slide ahead of them in the draft pick sweepstakes, shhh don’t tell anyone) and watched Mike Zunino throw an absolute dart to nail Bo Bichette trying to steal. I miss Mike Zunino, I said to no one. Then in the very next inning, I watched Mike Zunino strike out on a pitch at his ankles. That cured the missing somewhat. I will try to appreciate Tom Murphy appropriately today.
