Long season so I hope Howard

Off to see Hags tonight
Hagerstown should have more dog days at the park . My dog wants to take an I – 70 roadie
Has anybody EVER pulled Joan Baez aside to tell him he MUST wear number 17 ? Lol
Wow, hadn’t noticed the May tear for Drew Ward, a .985 OPS in 2+ weeks. At22 no less.
Andrew Stevenson will be just fine, those soft tossing veterans can take awhile to get used to. A good learning experience.
The best part of the Suns being in 1st place is most of their best players are younger than league average.
Thank you.
Seconded.
