[Fignon's Ponytail]

Padres coming back from 8-0 down against the Cubs, to win 9-8. I'll take that.

Caught the last two innings of the Nats gubbing the Giants 8-1 this morning. Only two games away from .500, a pleasantly gutsy start to the season for Washington.

A San Fran debut to forget for Blake Snell too.

I am putting together a proposal for a three day Baseball film festival around the 2025 London Series.

Be good to get some mainstream and obscure Film / TV suggestions Baseball related.

"50 Summers" is a great docu-film about the Omaha Storm Chasers minor league team, and their 50th season opening weekend buildup.



Also, "The Battered Bastards of Baseball", which is about the independent Single A team started by Kurt Russell's dad in the '70s.

"42", (the Jackie Robinson story) is a brilliant movie, starring Harrison Ford, and the late Chadwick Boseman.

Then, you have the usual suspects like: A League of their Own, The Babe, Million Dollar Arm, Moneyball, The Sandlot, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, For Love of the Game, The Rookie, Major League etc.

All great movies

It's basically competitive net practice. Helps the pitchers build up their stamina...

So what does everyone make of the rash of injuries that have plagued pitchers through the opening games of the season? A lot of it being blamed on the shortened pitch clock, but I cant believe that is the sole reason so many pitchers are going down hurt so early...?

I just tuned into The Nat'nals out in SF.
When I started watching they were 1-0 up in the bottom of the second..

It's now the top of the 3rd.
SF are up 3-1 there's been 5 (?) stolen bases and a successful bunt.


I might stay with it a little longer.
