Cup of Coffee: May 8, 2024

Good morning!

If that isn’t this newsletter’s mission statement, I don’t know what is.

Anyway: due to my traveling to Vermont we’re starting the part-time portion of the week. Almost every game was a night game last night and I had to be on the road hella duper early this morning, so while I do have one in-game item today, I’m punting recaps today. It’s not a big loss, as I was never gonna do ‘em justice without either my evening cocktail-inspired observations or my leisurely morning coffee analysis, neither of which was an option before publication.

We do, however, have a couple of genuine baseball news items, a handful of Other Stuffs, and a request from a friend, so let’s just go with that and regroup in the future. Thanks for understanding. If you need me today, I’ll be driving. If we lived in a more civilized time I’d be reachable via CB radio — my handle would be, I dunno, Dog Fister — but otherwise I’ll just check comments and emails from my hotel tonight.
