Man you are a great writer and the use of screen grabs is neat. Zimmer is crazy fast! Great fielder, speed - if only he could hit a bit more. But I’ll take those first two. You made a subtle comment a few posts ago and a Tweet about the current regimes inability to put together good bullpens. It’s been an issue since Day 1 and doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Perhaps worth a deeper dive story - if you have the time. Just a suggestion.

Last year one of the loudest Skydome moments (Skydome!) was when Alejandro Kirk took a walk. A walk! That tumult was immediately topped by Gurriel's grand slam to cap the comeback, and then Marcus Semien's smash to cap the second comeback. Three of the loudest moments of 2021 came in the same game! I was there. It was phenomenal.

Alejandro is the quiet in the eye of the storm and he deserves greater respect. I do wish his fellow players would stop patting him on the head. Do we pat Vlady on the head, or George, or Gurriel (well...Gurriel). This seems to be an "honour" reserved for short people.
