I just want to thank The Indians again for giving up on Will Benson, Did you see him throw out bauers at home plate last night ? it was a thing of beauty

I agree with that. A good gun arm is a great thing to have.
■ Oh .... I remember about 60+ years ago I had a great CF and RF cannon arm to throw runners OUT from the outfield !. TRUE STORY - We had about 10 different fruit trees on out property mainly apple and pear trees. I used to. practice throwing them out fo the fields across the street from ours. ▪︎ [ The property used to be an apple orchard around 180 to 1940 +/- mainly for nice cooking apples, nice baseball size and shape AND GOOD PRACTICE for hitting the telephone poles going down the street ...... and I got pretty good at it ! It really helped my distance AND accuracy from when I was about 8, 9, 10 ..... 13, 14 and on.
Well I was good until I went to college and was working down the steel mill and had different priorities. ■
I remember winning the boy scouting long throwing contesting contests when I was 10, 11, 12, 13. and then starting playing base playing ball and working that CANNON THROWING ARM from CF or LF. (Occasionally RF.) I just liked doing it ..... better than raking the dropped ones up and carrying them out.
Ironicaly I never liked to pitch. I could NOT control my accuracy over thr plate ..... I could fire a dart over the plate ..... strike 1 .... but my control would slightly RISE UP ... . high strike 2 .... but then I would buzz one over the umpire's head ....not a good idea. |--> Then I would I would head back out to my comfort zone in the out zone.
Never liked being 50 feet from the hitters either. ...... |--> CF for me.

Great to see a dominant start from Bibee, because the wheels are starting to show some wear and tear...
What I'd give for a dependable starter or two that can be depended to give us a good six innings every five days. Really wish we could get Cal Quantrill back, who is pitching well in Colorado of all places.
I could see them trading for him.

Going to my first 2024 baseball game tomorrow night in Akron, Guardians starter Gavin Williams will be making a rehab start, hopefully he continues to progress towards returning to the G's rotation.
Saturday night's game vs the Blue Jays is a sell-out, the Guardians fifth of the season.

Sounds like fun ! Might be as interesting as some of the BIG $$$ Baseball games.
Still our Guardian young guns are amazing !

My wife was the Grand Slam contestant today, we were driving down to Canton when Tom Hamilton announced her name... she hadn't even told me she put her name in so I was pretty shocked when they announced her name and hometown... she just laughed and said "Oh yeah, the last time we were listening on the radio I decided to apply!".
Alas, no grand slam that half inning by the Guardians, so no new Hyundai Sante Fe for the Mrs... (But Jose did pop a two run homer!)
Going for the series sweep tomorrow afternoon!

~ SO ~ who is the lucker (or luckiest) of you two ..... generally ?
Of we two I think it would be me. In my family it would have been my late grandma (the cook) Ruby, without a doubt.
