Embrace the game! Stop your timid, even if it means running into the outfield wall. Twice. Josh Rojas has a minor league hit and a major league hit in the same day, in the form of an SAT question. Kazuma goes Tex Mex, adding a little Country with the quesadilla. Bello goes a little Devers. Matt completes the home run bingo card with Sacramento as the free space. Patti rants about basepaths. It's Pride month and TEX celebrates it through rainbow capitalism but dropping in the formerly September-based Faith and Family night into June instead of a public, inclusive Pride event. LAD honored trailblazers Glenn Burke and Billy Bean with a permanent display, but Blake can't even manage to wear the cap. In other cap news, the Fascist-in-Chief is pro salary cap, one it was explained to him. So much crosstraining with FIFA, from the actions of Mexican teachers, and the families of the disappeared, to the beginning of denying entry to officials, to fighting for reasonable water bottle policies and mass transit.
