Held over from yesterday, due to series previews and Q+As: these four game East coast series really mess up our scheduling. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused...

What Is This ^^^^^ I Don't Even... According to the Aces website, it is, a “Dill pickle stuffed with shredded pork, pepperjack cheese, infused with adobo sauce and gift wrapped in bacon!” ish95 is booking a flight to Reno as we speak... But while we’re on the topic of ballpark food:

Bob Brenly has been absent from the broadcast booth the past couple of days. Are these two things connected? :)

Gregor Blanco has two brothers: a twin, Greg. And another named Gregsman. Greg must've been a v important person to their family #GoDbacks

At first, I thought this was a surrealist joke. But, it’s completely true.
I have a twin brother (not identical) whose name is Gregory. And I have a younger brother whose name is Gregsman. So Gregor, Gregory and Gregsman. Why? I still don’t know. My mom said she just liked the names. She even named our house “The Gregs’’ and put up a sign. My twin brother and I have carried on the tradition more or less. My six-year-old son is named Grenyer, and my 18-month-old son is named Gregor Alejandro. Gregory’s son is named Greyver.

Hudson having a 1-2-3 inning with the Dbacks up 3-0 is the perfect win-win moment.

If Huddy really loved us, he'd give the Dbacks the lead back.

The Week in Persecution Complexes
I stumbled across this guy during the Brewers game, complaining about Eric Thames being called out at home plate:
@Dbacks corrupt umps gave you the game tonight. Catcher did not tag Thames in time - catcher is not a man, he is a punk liar, has no honor
— Richard Wroblewski (@rwrobo) May 27, 2017
He wasn’t happy when I pointed out it was the pitcher who actually tagged Thames. This was just one element of a spectacular rant, which I’m sure his... er, two followers appreciated. Highlights include:
Anybody that claims not enough video evidence to over turn that bad call is a LIAR. Ump SHOULD be fired AND have his corrupt ass kicked.
— Richard Wroblewski (@rwrobo) May 27, 2017
Corrupt MLB - no wonder fans are lleaving the game - corrupt umps and corrupt commish - hope they all rot in hell soon.
— Richard Wroblewski (@rwrobo) May 27, 2017
But turns out to be a bit of a theme, across both sports and other opponents:
Anybody working for NHL that is for replay or helped institute it should be severly beaten, then fired.
— Richard Wroblewski (@rwrobo) May 30, 2017
Replay showing corrupt ump calling balls as strikes when Milw is batting, calling balls as strikes when Mets up - tired of MLB cheating us
— Richard Wroblewski (@rwrobo) May 31, 2017
I think somebody needs a hug... :)
