Oh...I'm sorry. That is such a bad decision. My friend who moved to Sarasota in August set up some cameras before he left for the panhandle yesterday. I'll send any video if he shares it.
Dumb question here.....Why doesn't the SPC have a higher risk for tornados across the swath where Milton is expected to cross Florida? I understand that possibly the Hurricane warnings might be covering the intensity of the storm, but I would think that SPC would definitely have this set as at least a Moderate or even High risk due to the extreme winds. If the SPC and NHC use different criteria for these forecasts, shouldn't they somewhat agree for an event like this?
Trying to convince my son's college roommate who lives in Bradenton to get out of town. Think it is working. TO top it off, his fiancée's sister wedding was supposed to be next Sat in Tampa. Guess that won't be happening.
One other player who I think was missed was Mateo. Seems like everyone was talking about Westburg not being available, but Mateo served as a key role-player and definitely would have helped down the stretch.
As were Cowser's at bats. You could tell he was guessing when he swung at a pitch thrown directly at him. 172 Ks in 499 at bats. He strikes out just under 35% of the time and he is the ROY....shows how bad of a class it was.
I saw this video the other day on Rete Rose talking about adjusting at the plate when you are slumping and not changing your stance. Makes sense and the fact that he was as successful of a hitter as he was shows that it is more of a mental game then anything else. By the way, Adley's new stance is way too open.

Mullins on 2nd with no outs.....Bunt him over, sac fly then up 1-0.
Urias on 2nd with an out and not sending him on the lazy bloop to center? I thought it was obvious it was going to drop.
You heading down tonight? Hope the rain holds off because I'm going to Philly first. Last time we drove to get her in the rain, it took 4 hours just to get to Philly. The drive from Philly to the beach shouldn't be bad.
Have fun and enjoy the show!
Got tickets for my wife and daughter. She loves the Killers too! Picking her up from Drexel Thursday night and taking her home on Sunday :-)
I'm going to be their Uber all weekend and work on beach place while they are having fun. :-) The things I do for my girls!
On a baseball related note....Ohtani had probably the best offensive game last night when he also was the first player to go 50/50. 6 for 6, 3 homeruns, 10 Rbi and 2 SB. It did look like Norby didn't try to tag on the 2nd SB, but who cares :-)
Yes, my streak was broken. Too many men LOB in the first 4 innings. The catch Siri made to rob Gunnar was pretty amazing. That would have changed the game.
And, they used their bullpen. I was waiting for them to use a field player in the 9th.
Hopefully this will help with their confidence at the plate. The one hit which shows that they are at least thinking about just stringing together some hits was Cowser's dribbler to left field late in the game. Finally he is looking at what they are giving him and adjusts. He strikes out way too much.....144 Ks in 422 ABs = 34.12% of his at bats.
Made it down today. Game was great and am now 6-0 in games attended :-) Going again next Sat against the Rays. The worst part of the game was that the giveaway shirt was supposed to be an XL but they must have given me and my 6'4" son ones from the Medium pile.
probably go down at least tomorrow. Considering getting the $65 pass to all games for the month of Sept. I know it is for standing room only, but you can't tell me that there will be no seats to use somewhere in the park :-)
