MLB Daily Notes - September 21st
A daily automated report of what happened yesterday in Major League Baseball, along with other recent trends and further analysis.
The Pirates got absolutely smashed last night, and some guy with a walker took our seats in the third inning, and we didn’t have the heart (or lack there of?) to fight him about it. So we were walking around the park and bouncing around, getting kicked out of different seats the whole night. We eventually settled into some really close seats behind home plate and saw the last couple of innings.
I can’t believe how packed it was. It was a near sell-out in September for a meaningless game. I guess people in Cincy really like fireworks or something.
Our hotel is just a block from the stadium, so we’re right in the city - and the city was loud as hell until at least midnight. I forgot that some people like to do things after 10:00pm, so this has been a real culture shock.
It was a fun time though, good to have some time to talk and hang out with my wife without kids. Getting a shower, breakfast, and heading home now though - so no additional commentary on what happened in baseball yesterday.
