Great Read as always Mike.....I too have a Grass issue...but with my Grandkids LOL...my solution is a Piece of thin outdoor Astroturf for the batting box. To make it realistic and enticing ...I actually Spray painted the Batter's Box on the Turf ! It will mat down the grass, however you can pick it up when they are done and rake/fluff up the grass like new ! Just a thought from my years as a PE teacher ! Have a great summer
Fucking Devers man. I said from the start giving $300,000,000 to a 3rd baseman who was quite literally the worst defensive 3rd baseman in the league, was a bad idea. Nolan Arenado makes about the same and he won 10 straight gold gloves, Chapman. Raffy has had a bad attitude, but a lot falls on Breslow for failing to effectively communicate and then trading him for a worse haul than the Mookie trade. Embarrassing but hey, Sox keep winning.
Thanks for reminding me the bare spots (and bald spots) are worth it. I have two boys myself, and the lawn has been ravaged by them and dogs. But their happiness is worth it.

Thanks, TJ. We have spray painted for football… I’m trying the Astroturf this week!
FYI. The Job Lot sells Gas Grill mats for like $10 that would be perfect ! Thin but firm. I saw them today. Good luck

stay cool
Yeah they’re a good team. But it was still a brutal trade. Bad week for Breslow!
For real, I am glad we're winning but he's gunna have to something big make up for this. like John Henry with 2 cigars big lol
The first guy to set up a lawn chair for a strike zone deserves a Nobel prize.
We used a wheel barrel, DTH. With the two handles sticking up, and if the ball hit one of the two handles, it was a “bad called strike by the umpire”

I hear ya, Dan. It's a fair trade. And sometimes they let me jump in and embarrass myself!
We disagree, David. Tough trade and bad look for the team. But you have never been a Devers guy!
