Coaches back at work today, players start on Thursday.
New staff, new attitude. What am I looking for over the next five weeks?
1. Transition from off-season "OT: " threads to threads about football. The always anticipated updated ht/wt and who's still here chart, parsing press conferences for information that isn't there, fresh tailgate food ideas, beer to drink.
2. Overcoming streaming service delays. Trying to use the online chats or in game threads is tough since streaming services are 30-45 seconds behind live broadcasts. Case in point. A week ago when Jackie Bradley Junior made the over the fence catch on Judge, my neighbor sent me a text "Did you see that?". It was two full pitches before the play. Frustrating with football where you are trying to chat with fans and you're two plays behind.
3. Being better at watching the game within the game. So easy to actually watch the game. But what about the chick with the big jugs bouncing up and down in the stands? What about the dude wearing 1970's Magnum PI shorts? Is that 400 lbs guy wearing a cutoff?
Lots of work for me to do before HC.
I'll leave with this. First new recipe I will try this year. Cornbread Jalepeno poppers.
