    Voted Dellin. That was a vintage performance and I was so happy to see it even in a losing effort like that last night.

    (Also that’s A-A-Ron Hicks striking out on the Miller slider.)

    How are the lists coming? May as well take your time, but I am curious!

      Hoping to get a lot of it done to be up on Monday morning. I’m debating how much research I want to do for this one as I know it won’t be as polished as the rankings in February, but I obviously want them to be good n all.

      Then there are all these games I need to watch…

      Dynasty Lists next week for sure though. 100% as that’s not me!

    I think Sale’s was a ball. Nice frame job though.
